    Have no Health Insurance - Is Blue Cross/Blue Shield the way to go?

    Good luck getting them to insure you at all. I applied with them a couple years ago for my family and we were denied coverage because we had a couple of very minor (and not ongoing) medical treatments within the last 5 years.

    Going with the Samsung BDP-1000

    That Amazon deal is fantastic! I ordered one today too, with next-day shipping (I want to play with it over the long weekend, and was willing to pay a little extra for my impatience). Is there any chance that these Samsungs already have the correct firmware right out of the box? How can you...

    Enron - I still don't feel sorry for these folks...

    That's never been the case at any company I've ever worked for. Usually (if not always) 401k plans are administered by a third party company like Merrill Lynch or Vanguard. The company can't touch your contributions, but they do have some control over any amount they've provided as a match...
