I saw it too but didn't record it. I think the 2 mins are only for this time due to extended coverage. The :08 and :38 lfs on primetime were also 2 mins long last year when they preempted longform to cover the late April tornado outbreak

TWC just said 1 death from a possible tornado in Houston. Apparently a tree came down on that person.

I like Bon Jovi's music, I just don't like his version of that song.

My new computer has Windows 8 and I hate it. I find it more appropriate for a tablet or touch screen phone, not a laptop. I had to install vistart to get the classic start menu back. My question is why is the start menu so hard to find?
Also didn't 8 just come out a year or two after 7? I didn't see anything wrong with Windows 7 at all. It was very convenient to use as all the computers in my school's computer labs have them. If it's not broke don't fix it

The start menu is in the bottom left corner, where it always has been. If you do the same function as you would with Windows 7 and just click there, it will appear. Just zoom over to that corner and click, it'll pop-up. Personally, I don't mind this issue as I've always just hit the key on the keyboard to open the menu.

Yup, I know but it's just much easier for me to visually see the start menu rather than placing my cursor on the bottom right.

I also have another question, do you guys know of any online backup system I can use for my files? I have about ~1800 songs I want to transfer to the new computer? I also want to install my slingbox on the new computer but I lost the CD disc. Since I had it on an XP machine, do you think 8 will have any significant compatibility issues with me installing programs that were originally intended for use on XP?

Why would a cable company purchase one of the big three major tv networks? (The other two are ABC and CBS).

Maybe they saw it as a profit opportunity, just my two cents though.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

Cantore and Steele were a great pair indeed it was one of the few live programs Ive watched on TWC in 2009 especially during Vortex 2. Robinson was let go when again?

I believe he left on his own terms in December 2009.

Yeah, I think Kevin chose to leave after his contract expired.

This is incorrect. He got a chief meteorologist job I think in Ohio at that time.

oh ok that's good to know.

Cantore and Robinson were a great duo, this video explains it all...

Off topic, I'm surprised they didn't bring that song back. It fits in perfectly with their current music.
