I just had the worst tasting coffee of my life. 

I tasted coffee once and hated it, so I will never be a coffee drinker

Here is a random question. Everytime I watch the Local on the 8's, all I see at the end is the 7 day outlook.  Have they discontinued the 3 day Extended Forecast, or am I just not catching those flavors?

Yes, as of March 20th, 2008, the 3-day extended forecast is temporarily discontinued.

WOW, MSU WON 82-73! 

I know I am a Gator fan, but I would love to see MSU in the finals. WOOT! so much good stuff has happened!

Well, it appears as though MSU is playing UNC on Monday, during a possible snowstorm!

As of 7:30 AM EDT, 14 people are dead in the Binghamton, NY Civic Association building. The identity of the shooter remains a mystery, but he appears to be of Vietnamese descent. The shooter blocked the back door with his car and ran in the front door. Updates will be posted here as they arrive.

Local Forecast / Re: April 2009 playlist delayed!

« on: April 03, 2009, 09:11:57 PM »

Take it down a notch?  No way.  I think we should all inundate their email boxes with opinions on this.  Really.

Probably why TWC ignores us...

Exactly why. All they get are messages say everything new you do sucks. Icons, forecasts, studio, music..... 

I can say almost for certain they aren't doing anything with the music. I doubt NBC has anything to do with any delay or changes.  TWC has built an image around their music heck even came out with cds for it. Dont know why people are reading into this so much.

I also dont understand why people are so opposed to changes made by TWC! There is nothing you can do about it so whining wont do a damn good. The XL isn't coming back nor are the icons. The old old lf songs aren't going to appear either. In todays world cable companies have to constantly change and keep up with the times. Just my opinion anyway.

I agree Martin. IMO, change is inevitable, and griping about it doesn't help any. 

Call me crazy, but I like most of their changes. The IS and the new icons are so much more realistic and up to date and the shows on TWC are funner to watch. I love their new twitter idea, etc.. I support their changes.. They can't keep the old graphics, icons and whatnot forever because the look would go stale. And TWC's past isn't entirely gone.

I will call you crazy. Those icons are the worst graphics I have ever seen. Too many of the icons look similar to others (Heavy Snow/Wind, Snow/Wind, Blizzard; Thunderstorms, Strong Thunderstorms) and in my opinion, they look awful. Anyway, I thought this thread was about the delaying of the April playlist, not voicing our opinions on the TWC graphics as of late.

Quick question to everyone,

Which is better for me to buy 
hauppauge HVR950Q?

Or

One of these three Prosticks?

In order for me to stream online on Ustream in the near future. Thank you in advance!

I say Pinnacle. I have bought two different Hauppauge tuners, and have not been able to get either to work. One I bought at CompUSA, and another at Circuit City, both of which are now out of business, so I am stuck with two un-working tuners. So, I say anything BUT Hauppauge Win-TV

« on: April 03, 2009, 08:15:05 AM »

Does anyone remember the exact date in 1998 that the XL icons made their debut? You know which ones I'm referring to... They were decommissioned on air December of 2006

You know, that is a good question, I am not sure what the answer is to it.
I have looked all over, but all I see is that they debuted sometime in 1998.

We're on Act 5 of Macbeth right now in English. I've yet to even open the book. I hate reading things I have no interest in.

Exact same here. I will be reading MacBeth junior year next year, and I am NOT looking forward to it. I sure wish we could have done nothing in English this week...

If you reach Senior year you WILL read another Shakesphere story. Macbeth. And trust me, it took me a MONTH to finish that story. It's an epic.
