Pretty incredible that the PS3 seemingly isn't scaling 720p to 1080i, screwing over so many (CRT) HDTV owners. Nobody thought of this? Nobody cared? Also on FileShack

  • NHL 07 demo - play as one of three teams during a 5 minute period.

















  • I called Comcast last week to get a 'site survey' done of our house location to see if we had the option for cable (mainly for internetz). We knew there were no cable lines when we built the house a few years ago, but a recent conversation with some other utility people had us wondering. They thought our road did have Comcast lines, so I made the call to find out. Comcast wasn't sure, and the site survey is free and takes 3-5 business days.

    My wife just called me at work, there was a letter in our mailbox from Comcast. They would have to extend the current lines 1.16 miles to reach our location.

    Cost?

    $23,000.

    1.16 miles.

    They said they will begin work as soon as we submit a check. O_o













  • So...

    Anyone else using Windows Live Mail Beta desktop?

    It has fucking adware installation search bullshit, in the desktop ap. A giant ribbon pane on the right is filled up by adsense searching, and if you minimize it, it doesn't go away, it replaces it with a giant fucking ad. WTF? I don't see an option anywhere to turn it off. That's a deal breaker right there - anyone know how to turn it off?

    The other is that it refuses to go to the top of the screen. If I drag it or stretch it to the top, it stops about 1cm from the top and won't move. Yes, I really want you dictating my window positions.

    Back to outlook for me, has some nice features, but unless that first major issue and that second annoying quirk are fixed, no way I'm using it as my mail client
