Ok.

Try to keep your posts above one word, or dont post them at all please. It's a waste of precious database space..

So is the process of making changes to the XL basically the same as the IntelliStar, since both those units have a harddrive and OS (albeit different OS's)?

Pretty much, its like the difference between editing a text file (easily done via remote software) vs. reprogramming a chip (diffucult via remote software).

Mike is correct. The Inner Harbor station has ever reported those conditions.

On a seperate note, is it really that diificult to change the reporting site on a 4000? 

Yes, the Star Team has confirmed awhile back that it is difficult to make changes to 4000's these days. I don't understand why though, because it should be just as easy to make changes to it as it was when it was new.

It's all in the software, XL / IS / IS2 are all controlled by Intel / PC Hardware and PC (modern) software, where as the 4000's deal with Intel Macro / Assembly Language, cant remember which I just know its a totally different system from what is used to edit the x86 systems, programming an IS deals with a software key change where as with the 4000 its like reprogramming a eeprom chip.

I should've registered that trademark when i had the chance, several years ago. Probably is though, already.

Damn you, Kyle.

Just to add to this, Gil. It is trademarked in the US, by two companies. However it is not trademarked in Canada, its locational country.

Good job with that! I had to make a few minor tweeks per Wikipedia's guidelines though, such as bolding the title at the beginning of the article, etc.

Thanks Mike! If theres anything else you think should be added or have any hints, or tips let me know!

But would a 16 year old, be able to take a job in TWC? I'd be interested.

No.

u have to be 21 then

I'd say 18 at the minimum. It's all knowledge and qualification basis.

Look at the bottom:
http://www.weather.com/careers/postings.html

It says "Various TWCC Locations". What does that stand for?

Well TWC's Headquarters is in Atlanta, but there are other TWC operations in the states, not TV operations but like newspaper, radio, and advertisment.

Aren't I too young to work for TWC anyways?

Hence the, "underqualified."

Nah, i'm not interested at the time...

Not to mention that your horribly underqualified.

Can you post the link to the openings?

And I swear, if you come back and say "I don't see "Chris' Position" on the listings!" I will ban you!

From BMI. You can contact artists on BMI. BMI can give you contact info for any artist in their repertoire if you're lucky. They just won't give it to any Tom, Dick and Harry

Dude, I have a hard time getting contact info, how the hell can you pull it off?
