    in FLAC? Comment by sindian November 2010
  • Only $14k.
  • TheKindCromang said: Just realized that I basically repeated exactly what you said. Sorry. Bottom line - I agree...shit's nuts No need to apologize. It definitely bears repeating. A lot of places seem to be out of the Techs. Turnta…
  • The McRib never went away in Germany. I verified this last year.
  • I wouldn't consider Asia a LA rapper at all... other than that he is from Fresno and proud of it, he got his start in the Bay with the homies 427, Fanatik, and ABB records. All of his first records were done in the Bay. He was almost made part of th…
  • mannybolone said:I pushed hard for Chuck and was rather bummed they chose Biggie in the end. It wasn't likely that there'd be more than 1 or 2 rappers and while Biggie does have a great voice, I just think in terms of pure vocal presence, ain't no o…
  • The other nominated rappers are: Busta Rhymes Chuck D Slick Rick Scarface They seem like good choices if you're going on the voice alone.
  • Junior said:Saw this. Thought it was interesting. Started reading the comments and felt depressed. Yeah, the comments are depressing. Respect to NPR for putting a rapper on the list. They must have known there'd be backlash. I like that…
  • Grandfather said:Isnt a Werdum a mudials champ? I mean, if thats so, its really not that much of an upset that he would tapout fedor It just sucks... I think so. He's also an ADCC champ. Werdum's got jiu-jitsu. Yeah, that fight wa…
  • Also, Jesse Jackson and John Lewis.
  • When they projected VA going blue.
  • The man knows how to give a speech.
  • Btw, I've learned that De Ruijter sprinkles destroy the store brand ones.
  • So, I haven't tried the herring yet, but it's on the list. Where's your favorite frites place? I've been to Vleminckx on Voetboogstraat, and those were solid. I've also heard good things about Mannekin Pis on Damrak.b,121b,121While I'm at it, where …
  • I heard that they talk about the weather constantly, and that's all they ever talk about it. (Speaking of which, today's weather was pretty interesting. Rain kept faking me out. It'd stop for a bit, and then it'd pour, and then it'd stop, and then p…
  • I was in TOTAL SHOCK for a couple seconds. STILL BLOWING MY MIND. I'm still getting over it. Not as traumatic as Serra-GSP for me though. I guess I'm getting used to the upsets.
  • i cant make htis one but you should plan for 5/26 UFC?? 71: LIDDELL VS. JACKSON - 05/26/2007 I'll be going to 71. Let me know if any of y'all are going. I've never been to Vegas, so I'd appreciate any info you local cats could provide.
  • Emphatic Co-sign. I just got my package yesterday. Thanks a lot, Thes. You're the man.
  • The new auction's only open to pre-approved bidders. I was curious to see what's involved to become a pre-approved bidder. Here's the message they send you: Hello, Thanks for your interest in our auction for the Velvet Underground Acetate. As you …
  • If you guys don't feel like screwing with the about:config, you can install the fasterfox extension. It's a frontend to the speed-related settings you'll find in about:config. The fasterfox FAQ gives you an overview of how this all works.
  • Mingering mike was how i found soulstrut. i will be purchasing this book. Same here. Can't wait to check out the book (and the t-shirt designs).
  • I think you have to execute it for the first time, then it will propagate on its own. Meaning for something like osx.leap.a, you have to double click the file, enter username/pw. Then for the 2nd computer, 3rd, etc.....it propagates automatically. …
  • yes, but again my point is, a worm is not a virus. Worms do not self-execute. Don't they? If a computer is running a vulnerable service and an infected computer sends it exploit code, that computer will then get infected and start propagating the w…
  • finally another reason...... OS X will prompt you for your username/pw when installing any program. For instance, if you were to click on a virus/worm/trojan horse, it will require authentication. Another layer of protection that is not provided by…
  • you're probably thinking of this. Which was an overblown worm that the media "claimed" to be a virus. Again, a worm is NOT a virus. A worm can be dangerous too, no? I guess it's more of a danger for servers than desktops, but desktops still run net…
  • no, no viruses on os x. NONE. Another common misconception. Those reports were of vulnerabilities discovered by people that have been quickly patched. No virus was ever introduced in the real world anytime those vulnerabilities have been discovered…
  • - os x has been virus free since inception. That's 5 and a half years of virus free performance. Sure os x isn't perfect, I can never predict the future, there might be viruses on the horizon. The track record speaks for itself, something that can'…
  • Why AMD over Intel? I'm generally an AMD fan, but I'd go with Intel. Intel has the performance crown over AMD on the current crop of dual-core processors, at least. I think they run cooler than AMD also.
  • Actually, Dell's aren't bad if you're looking for a cheap laptop. You can get some really cheap, well-configured laptops with the right Dell coupon code. The Thinkpads and Macbooks are much nicer, but they do cost more. The Macbooks are actually a p…
  • Here's a Slate article on the Venkatesh book mentioned in this thread.
