Basically their new album will have bonus tracks on any CD's sold through Target, Best Buy or iTunes. Any other sellers, like independent stores, get a version with zero bonus tracks.
The kicker? Each of the versions going to the 3 big sellers have different bonus tracks. Now can someone explain to me what the point of doing this is? What POSSIBLE reason can there be for giving certain sellers certain songs and excluding other sellers from those songs. I'm genuinely curious. Because the only reason I can think of is to get fans to buy more than 1 copy of the album just to collect all the tracks. I just hope people aren't actually dumb enough to do that.
BTW... only people who buy the CD at Target are going to get the title track. The song the album is named after. LOL.

Anyway, discovering the complexity of layers really changed my view on how I did things. Though the result really isn't that good, it marks a point in where my messing around with pictures and art in general changed drastically.
Anyone have examples of their points of change?

i used to think a coma was actually acoma, as in "he fell into acoma after the crash." if you think about it, it makes sense. you don't say "he's going into a shock." you say "he's going into shock." i thought acoma was a state your body entered (like shock, respritory failure, or vfib). i remember finally seeing it in a book or something one day, and thinking that my way was better.
my wife used to think wind chill factor was windshield factor. she also used to think the "bitter sweet memories" line in whitney houston's i will always love you was "been a sweet man, maurice".
now you go.

I'm pulling the plug this weekend and renting myself a laptop. I need some recommendations as to good laptops that act well as desktop replacements.
Battery life isn't a big issue, as i will rarely be in a situation where power isn't available. It needs to atleast have 2 gig of RAM, 150 or larger drive, and a decent video chipset (as far as laptop chipsets go)

Basically, I have two monitors, one is a 24" 1920x1200 and the other is like 17" and 1280x1024. I'm using NView to configure the multi-monitor setup but the only two options it gives me are span and clone. If I span the monitors it downgrades the resolution on my 24" and screws with my Wacom tablet, so that won't work. What I want to do is have two seperate desktops, where one desktop is on one montior and one is on the other, and then have the ability to toggle between the two. Can I even do something like this and if so, how?
