"Thug Luv" is a song by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony featuring 2Pac. It is featured on Bone Thugs-n-Harmony's 1997 album The Art of War. The original version of the song only had Bizzy Bone, Sylk.E-Fyne and 2Pac.
A lesser known later mix of the original, which features Layzie Bone's verse in the place of Sylk.E-Fyne's, has also surfaced. In this version, Bizzy Bone has ad-libs over 2Pac's verse and the arrangement of the beat is slightly different, in a 3rd version, Wish Bone has a slightly different verse. A 5th version can be found without the gunshots every 7 seconds, this was because Bone thought that it was insensitive seeing how Tupac had died, but they were later told it was fine by a number of Tupac's relatives.
The song was produced by DJ U-Neek. 2Pac arrived at the recording studio late and wrote his verses in 111 seconds as confirmed by Bizzy Bone in a YouTube video, then had to leave. The other members of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony completed their verses after he had left.
The song is considered a classic by many fans as it was a long anticipated collaboration between 2Pac and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony. It is said that "Thug Luv" was supposed to end the feud between Ruthless Records and Death Row Records. This song can be heard as the opening song for the video of "If I Could Teach The World." It also plays at the end of the video.

SOUIT (Service Oriented User Interface Technology) pronounced similar to "sweet", is a web technology which steers away from heavier MVC (Model View Controller) frameworks and instead relies heavily on JavaScript in the browser which acts as the controller.
SOUIT was first coined by Steve Olson in 2009 (Author of "Ajax on Java" OReilly, 2007) in discussing the different names for the movement to lighter, faster ways to bring data to the browser experience.
SOUIT is a newer name for the "Less MVC" movement, another name is SOFEA coined by Matt Raible and described in an infoQ article from 2007
SOUIT is referenced in the article "Life Above the Service Tier" published October, 2007 on the serverside.com; and in an article on appcelerant, where SOUIT is actually referenced as SOUI.

Style over substance is a logical fallacy which occurs when one emphasises the way in which the argument is presented, while marginalising (or outright ignoring) the content of the argument. In some cases, the fallacy is employed as a form of ad hominem attack.
Examples of the fallacy
Example One
* Person 1: Who needs a smoke detector? No one ever has a fire in their house, smoke detectors are a waste of money!
* Person 2: What?! You'd rather save a bit of money than ensure your family's safety? Don't you care whether they burn to death, you idiot?
* Person 1: I don't have to take your insults! Go away!
The fact that Person 2 insulted Person 1 does not alter the validity of Person 2's argument, nor does it excuse the hasty generalisation fallacy that Person 1 has employed. Person 1 is also using a thought-terminating cliché in telling Person 2 to "Go away!".
Example Two
The Style over substance fallacy is very common in the corporate world
* Person 1: So therefore, you can see by this detailed logic state diagram that our inventory flow can be optimized with this minor software change to the inventory control and tracking modules.
* Person 2: I don't like the color of the font you are using. Can you make that corn flower blue?
* Person 3: Yes, if the font was corn flower blue on a grey background then the inventory reports would be more readable.
In this case we see Person 1 has performed a detailed logical flow analysis and determined a correct modification to achieve a desired, and correct result. Person 2 and 3 then dismiss the basis of the work entirely because they can only see superficial fonts and colors and thus avoid the business benefits of the analysis.
Example Three
Sometimes, outright non-responses or "stonewalls" are used as a part of style over substance. For example:
* Person 1: Communism by definition and practice is in direct conflict with the principles of Anarchy. How can you consider yourself to be an Anarchistic Communist?
* Person 2: "So Person 3, we should disband the government and make institutions that give money to the poor!"
* Person 3: "Yeah, no government is the best government, let's have those institutions control everything!"
Example Four
The baseless denial/unreasonable doubt is often an argumentative tool that accompanies circular reasoning, ad hominem or the no true Scotsman fallacy.
* Person 1: Candidate X has been skimming funds from the city! , I have receipts of his transactions and even photos taken of him drilling holes in the town safe!
* Person 2: Your receipts are faked! And for all what you know, he could have been cleaning the safe or that could have been a picture of his twin brother!
* Person 1: But Candidate X is the only boy in his family, and these were printed with the city's official seal!
* Person 2: That could have been planted there by Candidate X's opponents! They're known to be sneaky, because no true member of our party could do something like that!
Example Five
Stonewalling and mocking an unfamiliar concept, usually a form of equivocation.
* Person 1: Person 2, you claim the end is coming because it's mentioned in your book "Diuretics", isn't that a bit of circular reasoning?
* Person 2: (In a confused manner) You know what's circular reasoning? When the end comes, you'll be walking in circles trying to reason how you missed out on knowing the end came!
This may also be considered as a variety of a red herring fallacy.
Exceptions
Some cases where style appears to precede substance exist. One of the few such instances is the Sokal Affair, where physicist Alan Sokal wrote a postmodern-style essay in the journal Social Text without really saying anything; the title of the article itself ("Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity") was nonsense. However, on closer examination, the style that Sokal uses is satirical, and therefore his logical argument is implicit; the style does not precede substance, it instead is the substance.
