Like many others, I am reviewing my current telephone expenses and long distance rates. I don't make a lot of long distance calls, but I do call my cousin in Eastern Australia about once a month from my home in Minneapolis. My regular long distance carrier, AT&T offers an international plan that...

John Gates, don't feel that there must be sometning wrong with you if you don't personally rate C.K. as a "great" film. Usually it is the young people who don't don't fully appreciate certain films; some movies take time and repeated viewings. However, at age 55, I have seen C.K. several times...

As Matt Stone said, the Dukes held a seat on a commodities exchange - not a stock exchange. They were all buying and selling commodities futures contracts, not shares of stock. A share of stock represents actual (partial) ownership of the company; a commodities futures contract represents the...

While I don't disagree with the comments of the others, if this movie is a favorite, and unless there is some news about a new widescreen transfer being offered soon, I would say go ahead and buy it. Regarding the open matte presentation, though an unfortunate choice considering that it is not...

Whatever your views may be on HD DVD, I think it would be a huge mistake for any DVD collector to stop buying the best available copy of his or her movie favorites just because HD on demand becomes available. If we've learned anything over the last 50 years, it is that when anyone but you...

Am I the only one (of you "alphabetical" sorters) who puts movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey as if they were actually Two Thousand And One A Space Odyssey? For sorting purposes, I assume that all numbers are spelled out. I ignore punctuation and spaces. Also, for those of you who put such...

I store DVDs alphabetically by title almost exclusively. However, I put all the James Bonds together. Then, when the Universal double movie DVDs were released, I had a new problem. I now have all the Frankenstein movies (except Abbott & Costello, don't ask me why) together (six titles) under...

Here we go again. I started a thread like this a while back. It turned out that everyone hates UPS. All I can figure is that UPS must offer an incredible rate to companies like Amazon. It never fails: UPS takes a week; the US Postal Service takes two days. As a type, I am waiting for The...

Same as gophers. Haven't you seen Caddyshack?

Buy.com: $19.99 + $1.95 shipping = $21.94. I ordered it on September 18 and, well, let's just say that it didn't arrive late. :)

OK, I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know the answer, but are the British people "subjects" or "citizens", or both? President Bush referred to British "citizens". Is that correct? How about a little civics lesson for an ignorant colonialist?

Funny, I still don't remember you asking for money. My recollection is that the members asked to give it. Big difference. Don't let the bastards get you down. ------------------

Having been a cable subscriber and currently being a satellite subscriber I can say without reservation that you should spend your money on books and DVDs. There is not enough good programming on to justify the bother and expense of either cable or satellite, IMHO. ------------------ "If you...

Aaron, regardless of what you say, I have not and do not back off on anything I have said regarding the practice of telling others about one's own acts of generosity. I thought, and still do think, that it is immature and reflects a feeling of insecurity. With regard to where you come from...

quote: I do not believe that you choosing "Let's Talk About How Great We Are" is a method for hearing other peoples opinion on the matter. That's a fair assessment. In reflecting on this observation of yours, I think you are probably correct. Although I actually am interested in an explanation...

Am I the only one who finds it more than a little odd that so many Home Theater Forum members have found it necessary to tell the membership that they contributed to the purchase of the new server, and amount of their contribution? Can any of you arm-chair psychologists explain this phenomenon...

ChrisA, I have been applying my best analytical techniques in trying to solve the mystery of why you and your friends were not amused by Guffman. So far, my best guess is that the stars were not in alignment. You may have to clear your brain of all memories of that first attempt and try again...

ChrisA, do would you mind telling us the age of the folks who attemped watching Guffman? It occurs to me that it might be an "age" thing, at least partially. ------------------ "If you set aside Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, the safety record of nuclear is really very good." Paul O'Neill...

Parker, after you wrap up this drive, it would be interesting to see some statistics, such as: Total dollars raised Total number of individual contributions Number of contributions through PayPal Number of contributions by check Largest single contribution, and Whatever the hell...
