2/17    Are there any reasons not to take unemployment benefits from the
        state?  And what is the website to go to?
        \_ only if you're totally pathetic like me! - danh
        \_ You only get them for 6 months, and if you plan on being unemployed
           for a looong time, they'll go up next year in January.

           \_ Doesn't your 6 months reset after some period of time?
              \_ If you work 3 mo. it resets.

2/17    I have cable modem + tv. I've heard that cable modem comes with TV
        by default. Does that mean if I cancel cable tv (and only pay cable
        modem), I can still watch it?
        \_ This depends on where you live.  I live in Fremont and used to have
       free cable tv which comes with cable modem.  But one or two weeks ago,
       I got no more free cable tv (at&t might have done something to disable
       the free cable).  But I have a friend who lives in Cupertino and still
       get free cable tv.  I know another friend who lives in Berkeley and
       never have free cable tv with his modem.

           \_ It's the video trap.  If there's one on your line, you won't get
              cable tv.  If you don't, you'll have it "for free."

        \_ I live in Berkeley and have free cable tv. My friend in SF (Potrero
           Hill) cancelled his cable tv the day after (before?) he ordered cable
           modem and now gets free cable tv.
