I mean I want a car I can drive without thinking what so ever.
One that doesn't rely on my reaction time to prevent crashes. One that doesn't need my focus to stay on the road.
Where's that car?
I often find the internet vital to download the latest updates to programs like Spy Bot, how am I going to do that (and get rid of the infection) if my computer is banned from the net?
At an ISP level, it wouldn't be just the infected machine.
So two points, first the fire station did have to pay the cost of driving the truck out there, I mean there were other houses in danger. If they didn't they would be endangering public safety by letting a fire grow out of control.
Second, call it what you want, a fee, an insurance premium, the fact is these firefighters were told they not do their job because someone didn't pay them enough for it.
And when someone who did pay for it, asked them to do their job (the neighbor) again they refused. It strikes me as insanity, because the sooner you put out a fire, the less likely it is to do more damage to everyone involved. If embers go up and catch the neighbor's roof on fire, isn't that now gross negligence by fire department?
if you're driving though this town and your car catches fire, you didn't pay the fee
Almost every fire department and EMS service in the USA bills non-resisdents for car fires and crashes in their jurisdiction; coverage for non-residents is rare. This has been the case for many years and completely makes sense, especially for towns which have a major highway nearby. Their entire fire department budget would be blown dealing with car fires and crashes for people who were simply passing through while putting nothing into the local economy. The costs must be recovered without putting that burden on locals.
My point is, the firefighters were told not to put out a fire. Your implicit claim is, the EMT/firefighters would still attempt to save you and your property. My claim is, with this pay as you go type service, they are forbidden from doing so.
In addition, the claim that towns near freeways don't get any benefit from the traffic, is nuts. If you discard economy boosting things such as people stopping for gas or food, you need to look at if the town would even exist if the freeway wasn't there. You would need a population that was completely self sufficient in terms of food, fuel, energy and other resources to claim that there was no benefit of that freeway.
Emergency services are not optional.
Yes they are when the residents of this county elected NOT to fund a fire department of their own. The only option for fire protection was for residents to hire contract service from the nearby city. In a second bout of stupidity, this particular homeowner elected NOT to purchase the contract service.
Okay, let me rephrase what I said, Emergency services must never be made optional. I don't want an EMT telling me that because I missed a bill they aren't going to save my life or my wife's life.
When the 911 operator told him that he hadn't paid the fee, the guy offer to pay for the entire fire fighting cost over the phone and to the firefighters. They refused.
In addition his neighbor did the same to the firefighters. They refused.
Finally, according to the guy, he pays public safety taxes that go to things like shiny new fire engines, that they can drive out to his house (so they can toast smores and watch it burn).
My issues are two fold:
1. The guy offered to pay (he claimed that he forgot about the fee, who hasn't missed a bill payment once in their life?)
2. This runs afoul of the Good Samaritan Laws. Anyone who was driving by that might have helped out, saw the firefighters and figured they were handling things.
For those who think he got what he deserved, think about this: if you're driving though this town and your car catches fire, you didn't pay the fee, so they won't try in save it, but they'll watch your car burn.
Emergency services are not optional. They must be funded through taxes. We need a law to state this, I mean just look up the crash tax.
I pay my taxes so these people are covered when driving though my town, why am I not covered by them when I drive through their town?
If you look, the game holds the DSI sideways. There are important values on the left, while picking numbers on the right. If you're playing, you're constantly covering the left screen with your left hand when using the stylus on the right side.
They already could display stuff though the HDMI bus, as HDCP isn't required on the broadcast.
What this means is with the right chip, open source programs like MythTV can receive HD, from (for example) a cable box using HDCP.
This is the main reason I haven't paid extra money each month to my cable provider for HD, I can't record it. If I can record HD, (through HDMI) then I'll gladly pay more money. HDCP has actually capped their profits in my case.

So here's the thing I've found, people want previews and reviews of games before they come out to figure out if they want to buy it.
In order to get that, companies would have to send me a game early.
For that to happen I would have to give people what they want (previews and reviews of games before they come out).
Yup, that'd be what's known as a circular reference.
I started a gaming blog an not one company has tried to buy me off.
Guess they're too focused on the Lame Stream Gaming Media to care about us gamers on main street.
