If you have really good recorded tapes (Those recorded on a high quality home deck from a good source like a pristine vinyl album, NOT most “professionally produced” cassette tapes) will sound much better on a good cassette deck and analog headphones than just about any digital source and especially anything like an iPod. But, that is the nature of things when comparing analog and digital music recordings.
I agree. I’d think it’s conservatives that despise the trend more than anyone. I sure do!
I’ve been hacked ONCE; my bank was very responsive, too.
You know, I guess I should have looked more closely. I just assumed this was the RFID baloney... that’s why I cut it up
That is Kewql.
Why do you care at all?
The newer mousetrap is not always a better mousetrap. Whether that is a lo-fi digital audio device, a non-filament lightbulb, or gasohol.
You're lucky. When Barack Obama gave an ipod to the Queen of England, he loaded the thing up with speeches he'd once given. #truestory
Those pushing for CHANGE don’t permit you to question it. Go with the flow. Keep up with the Jones. Don’t be outside of the mainstream.
YOU still believe marriage is only between one man and one woman?!
YOU still believe that a person should save for his or her own retirement?!
You probably like that old style of math where people memorized basic tables rather than rounding up to 10 and then subtracting numbers...
I've had my iPod classic for close to 10 years now but finally ready to upgrade that. Turns out that with the streaming music option on iTunes, you need the new style iPods in order to store the songs locally and listen to music offline on them.
But I do miss the days of tube socks.
That is a beautiful phone. I love it!!! Wish I had one. :)
Some of us want to work on Thanksgiving. I applied to work on the holidays. No luck yet, but I'm still searching for seasonal work. The more that stores stay open, the more seasonal jobs there are available.
New-fangled iPod things? Where's this guy been for the last decade and a half? iPods were introduced on the market in 2001.
A chip card can’t stop fraud from goods and services paid for over the phone or on the internet, particularly the former. That still depends on the old methods of possibly verifying the card holder’s address, age, card verification number, etc.
We’ve had chip cards in Canada now for some 5 years or more. Where before you would have swiped and then signed (possibly electronically), with the signature using being ignored (who ever actually looks to see the signature matches the one on the back of the card?), now you would just insert the card in the chip reader and punch in your PIN. More secure mostly against duplicate cards made by duplicating the mag stripe - the chip is supposed to be secure, although I understand that its encryption has been broken.
Lately all the new cards here have “tap” RF (NFC) technology. This is typically only good up to $100, maybe $200 for gas. I don’t worry about it, because if there’s a fraudulent charge, it’s the bank’s problem, not mine.

Do you have an IPod you recommend? I know next to nothing about Apple products. I just want to download music so that I can listen off line when I go running.
And the hubby wants to know when tube stocks went out of fashion? :)
If you purchase your music, then you might want to consider the iPod Classic which has an old-fashioned hard drive and stores more music (160GB)
I would say 1985 was the last year of the tube socks. I have a picture of myself playing tennis with them that year. Shortly after that, it became unfashionable for men to wear socks that reached up past their ankles (at least when we had shorts on).
