  1. If DC is right, and WBAL is all digital than you won't need a converter and this whole thing is a scam, because i have rabbit ears on a TV in my house and WBAL works perfect.

     

     

    How old is your TV? If it has a digital tuner you can pull in digital signals with rabbit ears. Its not great, but it will work.

     

    Either way I think WBAL is still broadcasting analog.

  2. Also to Spen, I don't think the 3 point shooting is shameful, or at least not as shameful as if these girls were running up and down the court scoring lay ups. You've still got to make the shots, regardless of how bad the other team is going down the floor and knocking down 3 pointers to the tune of a 100 is IMO, a lot tougher and less mean spirited, not to say it wasn't mean spirited, then over matching people by speed and size.

     

    I see what you mean, I didnt think of it that way.

  3. I was just wondering what people thought about it?

     

     

    I'm sure a decent amount of you know the story as it's been making national news, but here's article for those who haven't.

    I know its a cop out answer but while I am unsure whether or not I would have fired the coach I do not have a problem with him being fired.

     

    From the original article

     

    A parent who attended the game told The Associated Press that Covenant continued to make 3-pointers — even in the fourth quarter.

     

    Thats pretty shameful if true.

     

    Maybe its just me though, one of the things I dislike about college football is they way teams run up the score on lesser teams.

  4. From your hard drive or a disc?

     

    If from your hard drive, I would try Roxio. If you have a recent PC, it may have even coem with the software.

     

    If its from a disc look to see if you can find DVD Decrypter. It was a great product and easy to use. Its hard to find now though.

  5. "Rock star" or not, the President should at the very least garner respect. There have been many presidents who have been as respected and admired as Obama... ask your grandparents or great-grandparents which presidents they admired during their lives.

     

    A man should never be degraded solely because he is admired. Doing so is no different than lashing out at Ray Lewis for being a murderous thug.

     

    I'll respond after I call my grandparents and great grandparents.

     

    I'll agree with "A man should never be degraded solely because he is admired" and disagree with "the President should at the very least garner respect". While I certainly believe in giving every incoming president a fair chance, if a president doesn't respect the oath he took, the office he holds, and the constitution than he isn't automatically worthy of my respect.

  6. At heart, I wasn't really knocking the man personally. My general intent in Obama arguments is to criticize the fact that our president--our political leader--has become a rock star.

     

    While perhaps troublesome I am not sure that's anything new. Clinton and probably more so Reagan both had periods where they were treated the same way. Of course this medium didn't exist yet (or wasnt as big), so it may not have been so obvious.

  7. I mean, I hate how people are acting like he's the second coming and what not... but seriously... can't we give the guy, say, a month on the job before we rip him down?

     

    I agree completely, I was just playing along.

     

     

  8. The Golden Ring Best Buy is tiny in comparison to most, especially considering that the White Marsh store up the street is one of the largest and best-selling in the country.

     

    Yeah its small but I am OK with that. The few times I have been there its been really disorganized and messy.

  9. I expected a 4-12 season. After some of the injuries the Ravens had I may have even toned down those expectations. But with a rookie QB and rookie coach this team found a way to win 13 games. Thats kind of amazing, this team has some serious weaknesses but they kept fighting all the way to the AFC championship.

  10. Whenever they showed the camera angle from behind Flacco I almost never saw anyone open. Flacco wasnt great, but he really didnt have much help either. With some time the receivers have to find a way to get open. Plus the only receiver who seems to go up and fight for the ball is Heap, and he had to stay in and block most of the game.
