Does anyone here subscribe to MLB.tv?
I had it for one season, when it came free with my DSL service. It was pretty good. Granted, this was 3 or 4 years ago. The one thing I really liked, after working long day, I could watch pitch by pitch game, so it was just each pitch, none of the scratch/spit BS between pitches. Reduced the game to about an 80-90 minutes (For a Yankee game, that's fast). They also had a (forget name) action only game, so only the pitches when something happened (hit, out, strike out, steal, failed attempt steal, etc). That dropped the game down to about 45 minutes. Not for every game, and not live, but nice when working crazy hours and want to see what happened.
If you are ok with watching a game AFTER it's done, I think that bypasses the blackout rules. Not sure how long it takes before you can watch it. Last season I did the season pass on cable. Too many blackouts, and Time Warner didn't offer HD games. Now that I'm with U-verse, not sure.
I have a specific document that refuses to print from Word. Does that make any sense? Excerpts pasted into new documents print correctly. I tried copying the full text, minus the last paragraph mark, and putting it in a new document, but no luck.
It claims to be printing. Nothing backs up in the print queue. No error messages. Just no printing.
I bet the document is corrupted.
My suggestion: save the document with a different name. Re-open and try again.
Then, reboot the computer and re-open Word.
I know this question has been asked before, but does anyone have favorite sites for uploading and sharing large files? I have about 30 files, about 5M each, and would prefer that the client not have to download any software, but otherwise open to suggestion. Thanks!
hmm.
drop.io might be good, but you would have to open multiple free sites to get to 150 MB or pay for an upgrade.
You might try dropsend.com
This isn't exactly tech-related, but does anyone know of a good alternative to babysitterexchange.com? They keep raising their rates and dropping features, and my coop is sick of them.
Genius Bar verdict: yup, the display is screwy. They can send it out for replacement (of the display and/or LVDS cable, whichever one is the actual problem) AND will replace the fan (which appears to have not been working for a few weeks [shut up] because after I use the laptop for a few hours, it shuts down entirely, and the underside is scorching hot) for a flat fee of $280.
I'm thinking I'll do that for now, because it's 75% less than a new Macbook.
But it'll be gone for a week, and I may perish from withdrawal.
Are any DC-istas looking for IT work? My company is hiring. For all my bitching about the website redesign process (yes, I know the current version sucks—we're working on it), I quite like the place. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more info. Profile address is fine.
Brenda, dropbox.com has a 2GB free account -- I mostly use it for the syncing-stuff-between-my-many-computers thing, but it's quite serviceable for sharing things too.
(eta: actually, 2.25 GB if you use my referral link thingie here: [link] , as well as a bonus bit of storage for me. That offer is good for at least several more people, btw.)
