Just found out from the Kyle master (aka Kyle Smith ), that a 5.5 earthquake just happened a few min ago! I'm impressed to find that it's been felt by a large number of places, such as VT, NY, OH, MI and parts of Canada. The epicenter was in Ottawa.

Anyone in that area felt the shaking? Since I'm an earthquake veteran and I'm used to this, I'm pretty sure it would have been scary for those who felt it. lol

The quake was felt in Downtown Pittsburgh. Local news broke and reported on it, because Allegheny County 911 was flooded with calls.

Please, just drop it. Please don't say anything else about it or what I have said.

You seriously need to refrain from telling people, in posts and in PMs, that they need to stop discussing a topic. It's not your job to do so. What you post here is subject to interpretation by other members, and if they want to voice their opinion on a post, they have every right to do so, as  long as it is within the forums rules and regulations. If you have a problem with that, then maybe you need to stop posting such ridiculous ideas.

You mean you would actually waste money to have a separate satellite subscription, in addition to your cable subscription, just to have clips without narration? Sad waste of money...

I knew you were going to argue that. Can't we just for once ignore posts we disagree with? I have my reasons for saying what I do, and there's no need to argue everything I say, especially if it is several posts above.

Then you probably knew I was going to chime in too.

As Mike said, TWC, as do all media outlets, researches extensively before implementing changes on-air. There clearly isn't a want for a clock or I can assure you it would be there. The clock wasn't on domestic IntelliStar's new LDL until it was extensively requested.

Nowhere in particular, really (except for the Mackinac Bridge Walk on Labor Day). I just really enjoy seeing the local forecasts from different angles, so I've been going all over the state the past 14 months. It somehow makes me proud to have credit for finding all these XL's in the state, and to have all these local forecasts from all these locations. I feel like a walking library, with some 1400 videos

You travel all across MI just to see local forecasts?

Correct. And they also used them during the Haitian earthquake as well.

I'll never work at a fast food restaurant. Whenever I eat their food, I always get heartburn.

Just because you would work at a fast food place doesn't mean you have to eat the food. Money is money.

Jesse is exactly right. We changed the area to make it less cluttered, and more uniform. You will only be able to enter one ID, and that's it. If you post in the tech support area, just make sure to indicate the ID number you are talking about.

Did you get a student discount?

Yep. Anyone can get it really. I didn't realize they just made you enter your zip and select a college. Also got the iPod touch for 100 bucks with a rebate later. You can get one for free if you want the 2nd generation.

Yup that's exactly what I plan on doing. Hey, since they're so overly-priced, I'd like to save as much money as possible.
