TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast Sucks.

« on: July 12, 2010, 09:41:49 PM »

Well, I found out that it wasn't just TWC HD.

Multiple other HD channels were showing a black screen. Such as NICK HD, DISNEY HD, USA HD, etc.

Maybe it is just Comcast.

Why did you say TWC was removed if it was just a black screen? Happens now and then

Plus I believe that they are having issues with the XL or their channel modulator, the picture is zoomed in a bit.  This noticable when the large LDL is displayed.  Under the logo you see 'weather.co"  the "m" is cut off.

There's nothing wrong there on your end. What you are seeing when the large LDL is displayed is normal. On most TVs the "m" is cut off on the weather.com.

This is happening on most tvs? Not on any of mine

BP will be testing the cap to see if they can turn it off almost completely if they had to leave in case of a tropical system. The new cap should capture close to all of the oil escaping the well. Relief wells are also supposed to be finished within a week

I need to get my wisdom teeth removed, and I have a question... how long do you have to wait before you can start driving again after surgery? Do you think it would be safe to do so the next day?

The next day you really should be fine! Though make sure you are used to the pain pills first. They make you a bit light headed at times.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Re: Gallery

The other reason that the gallery was closed was due to very little usage, which made us feel it wasn't popular with everyone.  Martin, please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

This was the main reason it was removed. Spam problems were not a problem that couldn't be corrected.

What about free slurpees?

Tomorrow is July 11 aka 7/11 so 7/11 is giving away free small slurpees. Lots of 7/11s so lots of slurpees for me
