General Discussion / Riding a Light Rail Car in Skivvies

« on: January 11, 2010, 09:02:18 PM »

It's Sunday afternoon and North Texas barely gotten through a hard freeze. A group of 70 people (mostly in their 20s) in Downtown Dallas hopped on the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Light Rail northbound to Downtown Garland. As the train took off, so did their pants. You've read right. Those 70 people participated in what was called a "nationwide event". Why did they do it? One of the 2 dudes who organized the event said he "didn't have anything better to do" that day.

Why don't they just go to Church? Do community service? Play basketball? Jump in a freezing pool or lake and start a Polar Bear club of their own? Read a book? Something.

Anyways, it was quite a trip, but not without a hefty price. One of the riders who witnessed the event (with her pants very much on) called DART Police. Going public in your undies IS considered disorderly conduct after all.

Haven't heard any other cable company coming up with a a similar campaign, so I'm guessing...yeah, Time Warner's the only one taking a stand on this issue.

Here's my take on the color-shaded forecasts shown on TWC.

It seems the staff of Time Warner Cable has had it with networks raising rates, especially after last year when they've avoided a near Viacom blackout. So they've put together a site called "Roll Over or Get Tough".

Let's face it: Cable shouldn't be a luxury item.

General Discussion / Is Anyone Having Trouble With Yahoo Mail?

« on: November 21, 2009, 07:51:05 PM »

For some reason throughout the day, everytime I tried to check my Yahoo Mail, I always get an ignoramous "Page cannot be displayed" or "Oops! This link appears to be broken."

Anyone else got the same thing?
