It is a shame that the $6.5 million could not have been used for a library. A library is sorely needed in that area.

I guess our culture does not value academics like it did in the past. Sigh...

I think the real issue is that KETV wants COX to retransmit their 7.2 "Weather Now" sub chanel, and is using their 7.1 HD channel as the club. COX currently has no room for more channels as it migrates its analog channels to digital ones. The good news is that we all can receive the KETV 7...

... That's exactly why I only use WPA2 + MAC filtering. Not only is WPA2 extremely difficult to crack, you can't even touch my router unless you have a MAC address that I have entered into my allow list. I'd disable SSID advertisement, but I like to see that I'm connected to my network. :D Of cours...

Hi digital camera gurus, With the recent fiasco with "Reuters News" publishing PhotoShopped photos, a thought occurred to me. Are there any digital cameras (high-end I presume) that contain unique digital certificates? The camera could then calculate a 'hash' of the picture using the camer...

I've been wishing that KXVO would go full power so Cox could finally add them in time for the new fall season. Good news, KXVO-DT is now full power digital. (UHF Channel 38 mapped to 15.1) This started Monday, but there were some problems with some digital tuners. KXVO-DT appears to be working prop...

Thanks Brad.

I find it interesting how little publicity there is about this project.

Retail, restaurants, office space and a gas station was the last I heard.

The "PACIFIC SPRINGS VISTA" (NW corner of 168th and Pacific) streets are in, and it looks like building has begun.

Does anyone have access to the plot plan of this area?

In todays OWH, there is a good article on the local digital TV channels and sub-channels. No mention of the new KETV "Weather Now", I suspect it is still in the 'testing' phase, and a formal announcement will be coming soon. UPN-WB merger alters Omaha TV landscape http://www.omaha.com/inde...

KETV has actually been doing this for a while. No, this "upgrade" occured today. Like I said, only a radar image was broadcast before. The interesting thing is that this channel might not be operating within FCC guidelines, because they air no children's programming, and there is a certai...

I use DISH satellite for my premium programming, and DTV for all my local programming. Many new TV's have DTV tuners in them. Do you need a big HDTV antenna to get all the sub-channels over the air? Or is your TV able to get those without an external antenna? It depends, but in general it doesn't t...

English Lonnie, you know I don't speak spanish... Just kidding funny quote from the "ancor man". Honestly. I don't know what these sub channels are. I am taking it they are broadcasting more than one "Channel" on a "Channel" now. Brad, As you probably heard, over-the-a...

I noticed that KETV has upgraded its digital sub-channel 7.2. Instead of just a radar image, it is a full blown local weather channel, "Weather Now" with national feeds from AccuWeather. Unfortunately, KETV has the weakest weather team in the area, IMHO, this is a very nice service. Thanks...

According to WOWT this evening, the project (180th and Dodge) is on schedule and will open in July 2006.

Clearly there is no bonus for early completion, so there is no early completion.

In todays OWH Building Permits: "17007 Elm Plaza, new building, $4,720,223".

This is a 13+ acre plot in Legacy.

I assume this is the Lifetime Fitness?

Is there an update on when 180th & Dodge will open? It looks like a cleaning and line painting is all that is left to do.

Lonnie, do you blame home builders when crooks are always coming up with new ways to break into houses? Microsoft's code may have flaws; however, all software does. It is a neverending battle to combat hackers. While all software has bugs, and can be exploited, it is clear that Microsoft is much to...

Not to put a wet blanket on the B&M Foundation, but I did some research that I find interesting. With Warren's $1.5B influx of money, the B&M Foundation has to spend over $3B each year. (5% of their endowment plus Warren's money) The antivirus software market is almost solely to protect Micr...

So, the B&M Gates Foundation will have an endowment approaching $70 Billion before long... I think $70B is conservative, considering the gifts will be BRKA/B that will gain value over time.... No, from what I understand of the deal, Warren is putting $37B in an account (all BRK stock), and ever...

As much as I detest the high taxes in Nebraska, the state road tax is one of the more 'fair' taxes... you drive, you pay for the roads. An even more fair method of taxing road use would be to pay tax by the mile. This could be done at license registration time. No matter what kind of fuel source you...

The Omaha World Herald needs to reinvent itself or become irrelevant. Soon.

After some time of inactivity, the Apple Store at Village Pointe now has a black, wood shroud built around it's front.

No other construction was visible.

Di Coppia was one of three locally owned restaurants to close their doors in the past month. "Ultimately, it's going to come down to the people of Omaha, as far as which restaurants survive and don't survive," said di Coppia's John Halligan, who shut down his restaurant on June 10. I hear...

That's one less Fortune 1000 (and future Fortune 500) for Omaha. I don't think the Fortune 500 (or 1000) list requires the company to be a public company.

Do we really know who "owns" these restaurants?

Some chain restaurants are locally owned and operated.

Some single location "local" restaurants are owned by out-of-state individuals, LLC's or banks.

What is the point of this thread?
