7/8     Interesting viewpoint on DVD vs VHS.  Blockbuster is evil.
        http://csua.org/u/64
        \_ And the writer is stupid, but yes, Bustblocker is evil.
        \_ But the blockbuster commercials with the hamster and the rabbit
           are so cute!  I like the one where the hamster is being a bad
           little hamster.  :-)

7/23    I don't get it.  Blockbuster is killing Netflix, yet Blockbuster's
        selection is crap.

        \_ Last think I read, just a month or so ago, was that Blockbuster
           was failing miserably.
        \_ I used to be a Netflix customer about 7 or 8 years ago -

2/18    Why the big uproar over Blockbuster's new fee structure? It seems
        to only benefit the consumer. I was screwed often by returning
        movies late, but now it's a non-issue. They used to make you buy
        them before if you were x many days overdue, too, and they refunded
        the fee if you didn't want to buy it but returned it. Just like
        now. Do these consumer protection advocates realize the new

11/2    Anyone using netflix or another online DVD rental servie like
        walmart, I am interested to hear about how long the turn around
        time is. What's the max # of movies you can get in a month?
        \_ I've been using Netflix for about a year, and it's great.
           You tell them the top 10 movies you want to see, and they
           send you 3 of them; you can only keep 3 at a time, and when

People always underestimate both my intelligence and my athletic abilities. Other women of all sizes are more comfortable around me. Thanks to sexy models like Emme and Mia Tyler, I finally have hot role models. Linda Atkins, San Francisco I like being able to eat anything I want and I love feeling free from society's desire to define my shape or to shrink me, literally and figuratively. Jay Hinman, San Francisco Enjoying the gastronomic pleasures that are abundantly available to be enjoyed -- though your outlook on being overweight will obviously temper how much or how little pleasure you receive. If you truly appreciate food as a component of life that makes you happy, then those extra pounds will be meaningless in the long run. Burt Schmitz, Cupertino At 76, I'm 5 feet 10, overweight (I'm told) at a constant 210 and a moderate couch potato. Within the last year I walked up and down rocky slopes and rough terrain for five hours and five miles in Northern Newfoundland. In days of yore, when chided by my family, I retorted, "That's my survival kit! Whether this is true or not in your case, this preconception opens doors and helps you earn people's trust. Peter Moylan, San Francisco You don't have people hitting on you. You can live up to your parents' admonition -- "eat everything on your plate" -- with no problem. You can keep drinking beer all night long, so you don't have to go home early. And you have a better chance of dying quickly from a heart attack, rather than lingering with some other disease or being kept alive by our insane medical system in a world mad with terrorism, devastated 401s from corporate greed, probably no baseball after the next strike and the continued destruction of the environment.
