Personally, I think cable companies should charge one flat rate for HD channels. Like $19.99 for all HD channels... because with most companies, you have to pay to rent the HD box (~$10) in most areas) + the HD service (~$20)... but that will only get you local channels, and TNT, AE, USA, etc. You have to be subscribed to the SD movie channels and sports channels to get them, which is bull crap IMO. You're already dishing them $30+ a month, can't the pony up the few sport and movie channels the offer in HD?

On a separate note, Verizon here in Pittsburgh has promised the addition of 50 more HD channels by Spring's end (TWC|HD + fingers crossed), and 150 total new HD channels by the end of the year.

The listings will come back shortly. Maybe your box reset (likely the case). Usually takes a few hours for the guide to load back up fully.

Mccain is another Bush but older.

Bingo.

And uglier (if that's even possible).

I just hope this isn't the beginning of rough times with TWC.

Sadly, it is. And things will only get worse over the next several months and next year or so as TWC is bought out. All the interested companies (NBC, CBS, FOX, Disney Corp., Comcast, etc) already have Youtube restrictions in place.

No they're not... I'm viewing the PHI/MT HOLLY NWS page and they're not there. PIT's are missing as well.

I don't have the time nor the patience to read that whole article right now... but IMO, public schools need tougher goals and guidelines concerning passing to the next grade level, as well as graduating. Maybe then there wouldn't be as many STUPID people in our fantastic country.

General Discussion / Re: DETENTION!!!

« on: April 24, 2008, 06:02:51 PM »

I got a detention a few weeks ago. Funny story, not sure if anyone's interest or not.

Tell us!

Long story actually,

So i was making up a test that i had missed during Lunch, and this kid, who is a total brat, came up to me and proceeded to drink my Coke. I'm always willing to share, but he crossed the line. So as he sat at the table next to me, I stood up, took my Coke, which I had taken no more than 2 sips from, walked over to him, and poured the entire can of Coke on his head. I would say it was well worth the detention to teach the brat a lesson. NO ONE take MY Coke...

Sorry, I just don't buy that.

Oh, and did the kid respond back? Because if someone poured something on me at school... I'd likely beat their head into the ground. No joke.
