Who is solosoul?
A former TWCC user who started out nice but turned out he was a hacker and insulter. Fortunately, someone at another forum I go to called Solosoul's mother and he was banned from the computer from what I heard (this was about two years ago). Not sure if he'll ever return, though.

He still has his account at TaigaNet, but he hasn't been active since he "left" more than two years ago after the incident where TWCC got hacked (it turned out he was the one who did this), the same time he got his account closed at TWCC for the same reason.

Yeah, that dude was nothing short of a FREAK. He would always tell me he's gonna "Call the po-po" on me for "harassing" him. :rolleyes:


LOL, po-po? Doubt he cares.  :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

Joking, of course, about the Pope.  :biggrin:

Isn't po-po also a slang term for the fuzz? :P

I bet solosoul must either been caught downloading porno, failing school, not doing his chores, staying up all night, jamming up the computer with spyware and adware or anything else that got him into trouble.

To put in another way, it's not his computer. It's his mother's.

The Weather Channel Sale Wraps
Landmark Communications concludes sale of The Weather Channel to NBC Universal, two private-equity groups.

By Robert Marich -- Broadcasting & Cable, 9/12/2008 12:16:00 PM
Landmark Communications said Friday that it concluded the sale of The Weather Channel to NBC Universal and two private-equity groups in what previously described as a nearly $3.5 billion transaction.

 
NBCU’s partners are Blackstone Group and Bain Capital. The TWC assets include the cable network, weather.com, Weather Services International, Enterprise Electronics and Canadian weather outfit Pelmorex.

NBCU and its two partners won an auction in early July to buy TWC.

In Friday’s statement, Landmark also said it transferred the company’s other businesses -- which are all earmarked to be sold -- to a new entity named Landmark Media Enterprises. LME’s executive lineup is the same as Landmark Communications.

Landmark has a deal pending to sell its Nashville, Tenn., CBS affiliate, WTVF-TV, to Bonten Media Group, ahd the company said it is looking for a buyer for CBS affiliate KLAS in Las Vegas.

Can TWC choose to buy itself out of NBC if they ever decide to do so?
