I start work 2 weeks from now. Mondays are my least favorite with work straight from 8am to 9pm with a 5 hour break in between. I bought all my textbooks so far though
You have school on Labor Day?!

I own several older gaming consoles and portable gaming devices, mainly from Nintendo. One of them I do own is an NES-101, which is a lesser-known and more compact design of the original Nintendo Entertainment System. It no longer works for now though because the power cord that came with it got shorted out. :(

86°F light rain. The low temperature at KVDF this morning was 68°F, which actually ties the record low from 1947 at TPA (Tampa International), but TPA only got down to 78°F this morning.

You know, maybe NOAA upped their named storm predictions for our Atlantic basin because the next one down the line is Isaac and it was around this time last year when Irene formed.. :thinking:

Small hail is falling right now in Temple Terrace.
Nothing here in Thonotosassa but it's raining here with some thunder. This is the second time it's rained today.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion
« on: August 14, 2012, 01:19:59 PM »
I just noticed something... the new (meaning newer than the DirecTV local forecast) national local forecast LDL must be extremely annoying (not to mention totally useless) to viewers now, being visible just from Sacremento to Washington, D.C.
You have to understand that this product was developed back in 2008, and the day prior to its release, the (at the time) IntelliStar-generated LDL stopped appearing on the LFs, and when the LF slides finished, the last product was a view of the satellite/radar for the last 3 hours covering 4 regions of the nation. As for the newer satellite LF, you also have to know that DISH customers see the national forecast at all times, so having conditions for 46 major cities across the states seems reasonable.

I never understood why they don't extend the DirecTV forecast out by another several seconds just to fill the entire local forecast segment.  Cable viewers don't get national radar and satellite views, so I don't know why the DirecTV viewers have to.
I absolutely agree with you. In fact, before it came out (but the news was made), I was expecting to see a similar lineup of that to the IntelliStar (such as local radar and air quality). As for the radar, I really think there could be both a national and a local radar screen. However, the only radar images existent in TWC's database are completely watermarked and I doubt TWC would want to publish their local radar images ("Classic map" on weather.com) without watermark.

I don't see why 720p and 1080p videos need to be uploaded to youtube if all you need to do is yt:crop=16:9 with a 480p video

I have to disagree with that. As Tavores said, it's not about the aspect ratio, but rather the quality. Take a look at the images below and you'll see why 720p/1080p are preferred over 480p.

Not if your getting the feed from component wires, the feed still comes out HD.
In Jim's case, he's getting the HD signal via ClearQAM from his cable headend.

You probably are missing something because you should be able to trim it just fine and keep it HD. If you want pure HD quality then why not just upload the raw file first then use the Youtube editor? :unsure:

This wouldn't be the best advice for someone like me who has a snail paced internet connection. :no: I've uploaded raw files a few times and that's the reason I don't do them often. It takes way too long, I start to get impatient if I'm uploading a 200mb file for example and I come back a few hours later and it still has a ways to go.
That's another problem: HD files are huge, and there isn't any way to fix that. :no:
