The word bit is a colloquial expression referring to specific coins in various coinages throughout the world.
United States
In the United States, the bit is equal to one eighth of a dollar or 121⁄2cents. In the U.S., the "bit" as a designation for money dates from the colonial period, when the most common unit of currency used was the Spanish dollar, also known as "piece of eight", which was worth 8 Spanish silver reales. One eighth of a dollar or one silver real was one "bit".
With the adoption of the decimal U.S. currency in 1794, there was no longer a U.S. coin worth 1⁄8 of a dollar but "two bits" remained in the language with the meaning of one quarter dollar, "four bits" half dollar, etc. Because there was no one-bit coin, a dime (10¢) was sometimes called a short bit and 15¢ a long bit. (The picayune, which was originally 1⁄2real or 1⁄2bit (61⁄4¢), was similarly transferred to the US 5¢-piece.)
In addition, Spanish coinage, like other foreign coins, continued to be widely used and allowed as legal tender by Chapter XXII of the Act of April 10, 1806 until the Coinage Act of 1857 discontinued the practice.
This article covers notable characters of Tron franchise, including all of its various cinematic, literary, video game adaptations and sequels.
Development
For the first film, Richard Rickitt explains that to "produce the characters who inhabit the computer world, actors were dressed in costumes that were covered in black-and-white computer circuitry designs....With coloured light shining through the white areas of their costumes, the resulting characters appeared to glow as if lit from within....optical processes were used to create all of the film's computerized characters..." Frederick S. Clarke reports that "Tron: Legacy will combine live action with CGI," adding that "several characters...will be completely digital..."
Tron
Kevin Flynn
Kevin Flynn is a former employee at the fictional software company ENCOM and the protagonist of the first film. He is played by Jeff Bridges.
At the start of the first film, he is manager of "Flynn's", a video arcade where he impresses his patrons with his skills at games that (unknown to them) he designed at ENCOM, but remains determined to find evidence that CEO Ed Dillinger plagiarised Flynn's work to advance his position within the company. Throughout most of the film, Flynn travels around the digital world, accompanying the eponymous character Tron; but later discovers that as a User, he commands the physical laws of the digital world, enabling him beyond the abilities of an ordinary program. Eventually, he enables Tron to destroy the Master Control Program shown to oppress the digital world, and upon return to the material world obtains the evidence necessary to expose Dillinger, and becomes ENCOM's CEO himself.
Spirit is This Condition's third EP, a five-track album recorded in April 2010. It was released on July 27, 2010 through online retailers and digital music stores (iTunes), as well as a physical release through the band's online merch store. Recorded in Boonton, NJ's The Pilot Studio with producer Rob Freeman, whom the band had worked with on three singles in 2009, the album features five new tracks, including "Go" and "Stay Right Here".
Spirit is the tenth studio album of Japanese singer-songwriter Hitomi. The album was formally released on April 27, 2011 under the independent label Maximum 10.
The album was released approximately two years after her previous work, Love Life 2, and it is her first album after her departure from the Avex major label. It was produced by musicians of Advanced Alternative Media Inc., making this the first album in which Hitomi works exclusively with Western songwriters, composers, and producers.
No singles were released for promoting the album, although two songs were made available to the public prior to its release. The song "Love Me, Love Body" was used as the official theme song to Coca-Cola Japan's healthy drink for women "Love Body", and was digitally released on July 28, 2010.
"Song For You" was the other song previously released. It was included in Hitomi's single "Umarete Kurete Arigatō", which was her last single released under the Avex label. The last songs that Hitomi published under the Avex major label, "Umarete Kurete Arigatō" and "Smile World" -the two A-side songs of her last major single-, along with the thems songs of the NHK anime TV series Hanakappa, "Special" and "Guru Maze Yeah", were not included in the album.
Sociaal-Liberale Partij (listen; SLP; Dutch for Social Liberal Party) was a BelgianFlemish political party formed after dissolution of the moderate nationalist People's Union (Volksunie) party. Prior to 19 April 2008 it was known as Spirit, and intermediately as Flemish Progressives (VlaamsProgressieven). The party fused with Green! in the end of 2009 thus ceasing to exist.

I got fired up after Deus in Absentia, so I almost immediately made another one. I am VERY pleased with how this one came out and I hope you like it as much as I do.
Shoutout to Xavier who requested this song, way back when I posted Majesty. Here you go, bud!
Also a big thank you to Nico C. / Mordra for unintentionally helping me with the solo part. I watched his video on Spirit since the solo messed with my head. His video solved most of the headache. You can watch it here: https://youtu.be/PDHtHXr1P6Q

I've got less feelings than flies on ceilings, For anything that has to do with human ass beings. They don't know how to treat me, yo. I ain't X5763P0. You plug me in and I clean the house, God damn cat hair, all up in my mouth. You ain't watchin TV, I'm watchin' you. And you're an ugly ass motherfucker too. As soon as you open your mouth, I wanna hit it. Keep your thoughts to yourself 'cause I could give a shit. These robots are down for drugs, rappin', extortion. Everytime I see you, I wish your mom had an abortion. You ain't no robot and you sure ain't no rapper. I leave shit like you behind in a crapper. You were drawn to the robot-thug lifestyle, And you believe the bullshit you saw in 8 Mile. You ain't no robot, bitch! You were created from jizz. You ain't no robot, You've got to take a whiz. You ain't no robot, Your skin ain't chrome. You ain't no robot, You call this planet home, bitch! Motherfuckin' fuckers all over my shit, 'Cause I'm a robot down with 8-Bit. Goin' ancient on the motherfuckin' mic, All my God damn fuckin' skills keepin' it tight, bitch. Fuck, shit, fuck. My Tourette's be actin' up. It's just a glitch that some solder will fix. Motherfucking technical assistance is needed, While you all sorry ass humans still bleeding. Humans ain't shit, but shit on my shoe. But then again, what's new? And who the fuck asked you? A one night stand with your kind is so bland. Gotta listen to 'em talk 'cause they ain't preprogrammed. I'm free of toe-jam and clean as a whistle, But don't know how to smile 'cause the earth is a shit hole. Flooded with toxins, I feel like I'm locked in. What's the fuckin' point of me talkin'? You ain't no robot, bitch! You were created from jizz. You ain't no robot, You've got to take a whiz. You ain't no robot, Your skin ain't chrome. You ain't no robot, You call this planet home, bitch!
