Programming and Graphics / Re: New Graphics coming to TWC

Has anybody had the cities in the bottom bar change?  We have locations on our bar that aren't even within my cable company's territory.  Just wondering if this is more of a "regional cities" thing or if they mistakenly added these cities.

Besides dinner at Denny's I bought a new lanyard for my keys.  My previous one I have had since the beginning of my senior year at HS which was two and a half years ago.  It was getting so wore that it was about to tear in half lol.

Sorry to drag an old topic from the grave, but I was curious if anyone else had their TWC Desktop automatically update to the new one.  I had uninstalled their new "App" and re installed the older desktop program but the other day it installed the new one automatically.

Part of the reason I'm wanting to switch to Cox is to get a local forecast from TWC in HD...but apparently Cox has had nothing but issues with their IS2.    Is it possible they could just get a replacement IS2?

I like it as well.  But will there be more slides?  Some regional/provincial cc maps would be nice.  Also Maybe some slides with weekend getaways like TWC has.  Looks pretty awesome so far though! Will there be a warning crawl for watches/warnings?

I don't know about Nebraska but down here homosexuals have had no harm on heterosexuals.  I lived across the street from a gay couple for ten years, I went to school with gays and I've even worked with gays and my life was by no means impacted simply because of one's sexuality.  Also I don't know who told you homosexuality is a choice, but it isn't.  Just because religion says and half of society thinks that relationships should be between opposite sexes does not make sexuality a choice.  As for your 'super rights' only applying to them.  It's rights that do not apply only to them.  I'm no expert at the constitution and exactly what rights are in it, but I'm sure there are some that gays do not get to enjoy.  At the very least it is discrimination.  As for Atheists.  I myself do not see why it offends some people if God is included in stuff.  But at the same time I do not see why it should offend Christians if there are Muslim events or symbols and such.  This is America, there are many, many different religions.  Instead of hiding them because it offends someone we should just deal with others having different religions, or having no religion at all.

Also, I didn't say voter fraud wasn't a problem in this country, I said in most states it isn't a problem.  I know in Kansas, in the past 10 years theres only been about a handful of voter fraud cases.  And almost all of them were simply honest mistakes.  I myself have no problem showing my ID to vote.  And sure, if I wasn't already registered to vote I wouldn't mind spending $15 to get a replacement copy of my birth certificate (since mine was stolen years ago), and then registering to vote.  But for some people they do not have that kind of money to get a copy of their birth certificate, or even an ID.  If they are going to create these laws they need to provide provisions at no cost and in a way that is easy for the voters and won't deter them. 

Anywho lol

And aren't there more pressing issues than creating a "right" for less than 10% of the population?

I'm sure people said the same thing in the 1950s and 1960s, seeing as only 13% of the American population is black.

Also seeing as ten's of thousands of Americans don't have a basic right to get on their partners health insurance or visit them while their in the hospital or even claim them on their taxes solely based on some people's bias or religious views, I'd think that the issue would be toward the top of other issues.  One issue most of this country seems to be all gun-ho about is voter rights for the supposed "voter fraud" problem we have, when in fact in most states there is next to no voter fruad.  Just a waste of money and time creating pointless regulations.

I also agree with Tyler.  There are many issues that should be left up to individual states, but marriage is not one of them.   

But, I digress

Would  be nice if he believed in gay marriage...

Wasn't that one of his campaign promises?

I don't believe so...if anything I think he said he would consider supporting civil unions.

I got the impression same-sex merriage is a state issue. But anyway, what does this have to do with martial law?

Quite frankly I don't see how civil rights should be a state issue.  But that aside idk how we got off topic either lol.

Downloaded it the day it came out. Couldn't read the taskbar temperature and hated that it wouldn't just minimize on startup so went back to older version.

Is there a Link where I could download the old version?  I agree with you in that I liked having it minimize after it started and having the icon a little bigger.

Everything Else TWC / TWC Desktop "App"

« on: December 27, 2011, 04:53:37 PM »

Anyone download the latest Desktop "App" from TWC?  I have always had a TWC desktop program but here recently I updated it and now its real nice.  Nice graphics and such.  For some reason the temperature icon in the taskbar is a little smaller than before.  I'd be nice if the icons were animated as well.  Just curious if anyone downloaded the latest update.
