I'd beat your ass.

I have to admit, I would certainly like to see you try.

I'd like to know what makes you think your such a tough guy.

Roland, your not supposed to post other people's work. 

Maybe you need a refresher about the agreement on plagairism between TWCT and TWCC? Take a look:

What does a cable box with "scrambled channels" mean?

Here's a pretty good definition:

"Scrambled Signals refers to the encryption of satellite data streams by cable television program providers to prevent the unauthorized reception of their signals"...

Here is a pic of a scrambled channel:

Fay, could be a very dangerous major hurricane according to several sources.

Well, considering the current projected path, I don't see how that could happen  

But, if it does take the most western part of the "cone" it could get to hurricane status.  I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.  But, as Stephen said, definitely something to watch out for

The current projected path is very preliminary. Anything can still happen. We'll have to wait another couple of days to get a better look at where this is going to go.

He probably made it himself. The 3000 had no audible tone. If it did, it would still be with us today. 

Actually the 3000 DID have have an audible alarm tone. It was s series of very short beeps. The reason why the FCC had a problem with is is because the alert tone only played the FIRST time a warning was displayed. The FCC wanted the alert tone EVERY time the warning repeated, which the 3000 could not do.

LOL, its great to be the idiot of TWCT.

Nothing to be sorry about, my friend (my Dave impression!  ). We're all entitled to a view on this. 

BTW, thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you like the site!
