I'm buying an iPod Classic for the storage (for work related projects *wink*) and a iPod Shuffle because I don't need to watch videos or photos and rarely even look at my current 3G iPod that is slowly dying. Apple would be crazy to drop it, but that's what I said about the rumors regarding the death of the iPod Mini. *sigh*
BTW, why did you find it necessary to include Jessica's direct mail address? You wouldn't want someone to mail her nasty mail, now would you? I see you didn't include your own address/info.
Sorry James, but you're wasting your time. Return the damn fan to Target. Get a refund AND/or a new fan.
It's Target's problem, not yours. I'm a former Customer Service Manager and I can tell you that many resellers receive bad product due to poor handling. Either from shippers or careless S/R personnel. We simply refunded the customer, occasionally gave them a free or reduced price unit and were done with the problem. Whatever it takes to make the customer happy.
As bad ass Bush is, he could not have accomplished any of his misdeeds without the cretins in Congress supporting his efforts at every step. Including several Dems. Maybe I'm hopelessly naive, but I don't think there should be term limits for any office. Of course, I'd change so many other rules to make sure incompetents, er, incumbents didn't take advantage of their offices. Again, hopelessly naive probably because it will never, ever happen in my lifetime. And the voters are responsible (for the most part).
Well, that's where I disagree. There shouldn't be term limits for any office, especially the Presidency. The fact that one branch has a limit not imposed on the other branches doesn't change my opinion. Of course, I suspect (know) that I am in the minority. Part of the problem is that incumbents stack the odds in their favor, ruining it for good pols. Ultimately, it's the job of voters to be informed and dedicated to preserving the integrity of elections. A tall order, but again, their responsibility.
We already have term limits in the form of elections. Of course, we need to level the playing field for competitors, but still, I think voters should be the deciding factor in terms of er, terms.
"Running against each other is the worst news possible for both candidates."
And a good scenario for a "moderate" Dem (Hey Hillary! Yawn.) to run against.
I think the Dems finally have voters behind them; but in a real shocker, they'll have greater gains in the Senate than the House:
House: 236 Democrats, 199 Republicans
Senate: 51 Democrats, 49 Republicans
I would have gone with 52 seats, but I'm sure Ford will lose in Tenn. The House should be closer to 240, but I bet some seats will swing due to "voting/electronic irregularities."
This whole episode proves once again that the Dems are a bunch of wusses. It also disproves the liberal media label that wingnuts likes to sprout about. Anyone with half a brain knows that Kerry was referring to Bush. As Keith Olbermann opined: "Kerry called Bush stupid and Bush was too stupid to realize it."
The slim chance that I could possibly vote for McCain has completely evaporated. He's in bed with the same people that impugned his own service and integrity. If America keeps the Repugnants in control of either house of Congress, they deserve the ass-kicking that'll result.
No IFs, ANDs or BUTs: I'm confident that the Dems will blow it once again. They always do, always will.
Polls mean nothing. Getting out the vote will show how strong the Repugnants are. They will survive and make the Dems (and the nation) pay.
I love the fact that you can go down in configuration. Gives students and those with a low budget options.
I'll wait a bit to decide on my new hardware needs.
Great new feature.
For some reason I always imagined Beeblebrox as some middle-aged curmudgeon with a perma-frown. Or did recent fatherhood soften him? ;-)
Julius, I'm not 100% sure about the ownership of the masters, but to the best of knowledge, Beatles Corps. does own them outright; EMI was the temporary copyright holder when the recordings were originally released. I could be wrong, especially since they already allowed their publishing rights to get away. Maybe EMI was smart enough to keep the masters.
I wouldn't cry for the Motown artists because Berry Gordy, Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson wrote the vast majority of the hits for the label during its greatest period. The label also gave wonderful opportunities for some of the greatest musicians in Pop history. Of course, I'm not talking about the studio bands (most notbably the Funk Brothers), because they were dropped like hot cakes when the company moved to the West Coast.
No matter what happens May 8th, I think there will still be some questions and fighting between the two entities.
"And incidentally, I thought Michael Jackson had bought all rights to the Beetles songs? Why would they remaster something they don’t own?"
Michael Jackson bought most of their catalog (which has since been combined with a large catalog of SONY to become Sony/ATV, owners of 251 Beatles songs and the catalog of at least a dozen other artists that include Bob Dylan, Elvis, and others). Apple Corps. owns the actual recordings, so they can remaster those and sell them online. Of course, any online store will generate millions for Sony/ATV since they own the publishing rights.
