I've seen several videos squashed, then weeks later are okay. Very odd...

Everything Else TWC / Re: Which shows do you watch most often?

« on: June 19, 2008, 01:03:41 AM »

School days:
Extreme ladder portion of First Outlook, and beginning of Your Weather Today. Then I'll catch a bit of WeatherCenter, a bit of PM Edition, a bit of Abrams & Bettes, and a bit of Evening Edition.

Non-school days (weekdays):
I flip back and forth between Your Weather Today and NBC'S TODAY Show (if I'm up early enough). I really don't like Day Planner.... then, time-permitting, again I'll catch a bit of WeatherCenter, a bit of PM Edition, a bit of Abrams & Bettes, and a bit of Evening Edition.

Weekends:
Depending on when I wake up.. but usually a little of Weekend View... Weekend Now's the big winner though. Then not much until Evening Edition, unless I catch a bit of Weekend Weather Center. Again, it all depends on what I'm doing that day.

Well folks, consider this a "preview" of a project still "in progress."

Does anyone know what I could do to solve these problems? .

Yeah... buy a Windows-based notebook. 


LOL. Just kidding... I have no idea how to problem solve a Mac.

Why would they put a Nat Geo commercial on TWC?

Because it's good cross-promotion. Viewers of TWC likely have interests in the same thing NatGeo viewers do... nature, wildlife, etc. Makes a lot of sense.

It is legal to remove DRM... but only if that song will remain your property. In other words, removing DRM and sending it to your best buds is illegal, while removing it and burning it to a cd for yourself is perfectly okay.

I use a program (that I paid for), which works really well, called WMAConvert. It was $15, IIRC.

Then it's your guys computers, because, as with Gary, and the majority of FF users, I've had no major problems. In fact, FF 3, as promised, runs faster than previous versions.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: FiOS to add several HD channels, including TWC|HD

« on: June 16, 2008, 09:51:09 PM »

Here's some official confirmation TWC|HD is coming to FiOS! The new channel lineups for Portland (OR) and Fort Wayne (IN) show TWC|HD on channel 619! It comes to Ft. Wayne on 6/30 and Portland on 7/21.

Also, it's worth noting SD-TWC moves from channel 99 to channel 119.

I'm excited, and can't wait for a Pittsburgh announcement!

If anyone didn't see the first few minutes of Abrams & Bettes tonight in the new studio (cough, cough me), I have it on tape and can upload it.

That'd be great!

Again, my credibility's at stake

That never stopped you before... 

What do you mean? 

Never mind, it was a joke... obviously not a good one.

Gil, do yourself a favor and shut up until it's officially announced. Then, and only then, may you rub in it our face. As with Gary, until there's hard evidence, I don't believe you.

Again, my credibility's at stake

That never stopped you before...

Does anyone have information on the bumper music in the background of the programs?

If we knew... wouldn't we of been discussing it by now?

Yeah, I've searched all credible sources and there are no reports of an NBCU takeover.

BTW Tyler, I thought bad news wasn't allowed on your forum anymore? 

Didn't we agree to stay out of how we handle each other's forums? So far, things have been good between us since my return. Can we keep it that way? 

But, since you inquired... that rule was brought about because certain people were posting multiple topics depressing topics daily, which Matt and I, as many others, found unappealing. But, when under control, these topics are allowed in moderation, and only for big events (I.e. not: Johnny La Lou La of East Bumfukt died on the toilet [1) said person doesn't apply to any of us; 2) topic is not relevant]).Get my drift?

Also, as Paul stated concerning the political threads... at one point, they were banned, because several members did not respect others' views. But, several, if not all of those members have since been banned, and I brought the idea up to Matt, and he agreed to try it, as long as all politics were kept in in one thread, and the thread's participants were respectful. So far, things have went well.

That rule is quite like the law-chock full of loopholes. 

And while I know you're just kidding, I don't find that statement funny. The very few exceptions to our rules are spelled out completely by either myself of Matt so there is no confusion.
