    Can anyone tell me where this sound byte is from?

    I think this particular sample has already been solved, but for future reference, a good resource for discovering which samples have been used in rap songs is http://www.the-breaks.com

    Your suggestions for a high quality Gin

    I don't know if it fits your description of "ultra high premium quality," but I like Plymouth Gin. It's available in two strengths - original, at 41.2%, and "Navy" strength, at 57%. I also like Bombay Sapphire, but you already have that in your pics. Happy hunting.

    News Babes..uh oh, uhhh News Persons?

    I'm a fan of CNN's Robin Meade, and France's Melissa Theuriau is quite a looker, too.

    Hit the penguin

    Yes, I'm sorry, that did cross the line into snarkiness. It was just more than I could abide at the time. ;)

    I love when people read the rest of the thread before posting.

    Gran Turismo to support 480p & 1080i?

    I know I'm late to the party on this one, but I love translating stuff. The video options screen reads: Video settings Widescreen settings: Wide (16:9) Vertical position Horizontal position Video output - Normal - Progressive (480p) - High Vision (1080i) The button to the lower...

    Where to put the DVD's?

    Thanks for the link, Parker. I hadn't seen that site. They do have some nice stuff and their prices are very reasonable, but I didn't see any with doors that would hold as much as I'm looking for. Thank you, though.

    Where to put the DVD's?

    So does anybody have any ideas on my question about where to look for a storage cabinet?

    Where to put the DVD's?

    Okay, I figure there must be a million of these DVD storage threads on here, so rather than start yet another, I figured I'd piggyback on this one. I'm hoping someone can help me out. I am looking for a cabinet for my DVDs - something with doors, closer to an armoire or chest of drawers than...

    Got the games yesterday, Troy - thanks! I'll add feedback for you in the good trader's list.

    Two scenes in Irreversible are hands down the most difficult I've ever watched.

    *** Official THE AVIATOR Discussion Thread

    Thanks for confirming this for me. I thought this might be what Scorsese was going for, but I wasn't entirely sure and thought there might have been a problem with one of the reels at the theater I saw. Bluest peas I've ever seen!

    What is this Chinese character?

    Hi Thomas, In Japanese, that particular kanji (or hanzi if you prefer) by itself doesn't mean much of anything. When it's used as part of a compound, it can mean a wide variety of things, but it's not really a frequently used character. Was there any more to the tattoo that might be a clue...

    There must be something else going on

    Honestly, a couple of nail salons in this area have been charged with operating as fronts for drug dealers.

    Keeping Christmas gifts a secret...

    Hi everyone. Around this time of year, how do you keep your friends and loved ones from buying things for themselves that you'd intended to give them as gifts, and what do you tell them if they ask you point blank? I just bought my girlfriend a set of posters from a website, and sure enough...

    Questions about the alphabet on a phone

    The Simpsons still make jokes about this. Ever heard Homer say that his phone number is "Klondike five, ..." ? Of course KL5 = 555, so it's a joke on all the imaginary 555 numbers you see in movies and tv shows. I'm only 24, but I'm still surprised more people haven't heard of this.

    Most over used song in movies?

    I agree that a lot of musical cues are extremely overused in previews. Randy Edelman's work is also extremely hackneyed in previews - it seemed like for a couple of years you couldn't escape his themes from "Dragonheart" and "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story." And for a while, White Zombie's "More...

    Pennies for....

    Psychology. $16.99 SEEMS much less than $17.00, even if it's a neglibible amount in reality. This is also why all of Wal-Mart's prices end in strange numbers, like $3.84. Because when Target is selling something for $3.99 and Wal-Mart has it for $3.84, people get the idea in their head that...

    Name that tune vol. 924

    Okay, I hope this will be an easy one, but for the love of God, I can not think of the name of this song, or the artist, or any of the lyrics, and it's killing me. I haven't heard the song in its entirety in years, but I was lucky (unlucky?) enough to find a snippet of it in one of the Shark...

    Good bags for books and gadgets?

    Hi everyone, I'm sure many of you, like myself, are gadget aficionados. I carry a Creative Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra and a GameBoy Advance SP to and from work every day, each in its own protective pouch and carried in a messenger-style bookbag. But in a few weeks I think there may be a third...

    Power Conditioner

    Well, I had a look at the way everything was configured in my apartment last night. It looks like the speakers were set to large, so I changed them to small. Maybe this will help the speakers draw less current. When I looked at the outlets and the circuit box, it looked like there were only...

    Power Conditioner

    Thanks so much for the response, Chu. I really appreciate your input. I'm guessing the A/C may have something to do with it, because I rarely have it on unless guests are over (I don't spend too much time in my apartment). Your suggestion about setting the speakers to small is a good one...

    Power Conditioner

    I've recently had problems with the electricity in my apartment - while I was watching a DVD a few weeks ago, my receiver kept going into protect mode and shutting down. No circuits in the apartment were ever broken as far as I know, but periodically the lights would dim slightly. It was like a...
