Try to get that to hold up while you are being arrested. By the time you get to the courts, have a lawyer to cover you, a judge to listen and a jury to understand, let's see that should only cost you about 1.5 years of your life, about $50k, not counting lost time from work, etc.
Self righteousness is a wonderful thing, but without deep pockets and a really good attorney, seldom do they go hand in hand.
From the article, the homeowners live outside the county's fire coverage area. The home owner has been paying the $75 coverage fee in the past. He just forgot to do it this year.
The sad part is that the one time he needed it, is the one time he forgot to pay.
The city makes a good point. If they let people pay on the spot, then only those who were burning down would pay for coverage, which means the cost is going to be much higher. Typical of an insurance program.
The stupid part of this is their grandson was burning trash near the home. That's the real problem.
There is nothing wrong with an application using existing hardware to run.
However, and this is all based on speculation since we are not there yet, is that it is not my browser that is the problem on the Internet, but that now every Joe Schmoe company is going to be ramming excessively graphical crap to my system on the assumption that I have a full blown graphical super deluxe system that will run it.
Numerous sites add paint without adding any real content just to get people's attention.
In the long term, then we end up back to the game of "Site best viewed with..." Instead of it being browser it will say with 1GB of video RAM, etc...
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
On a side note, my humorous observation is that we have moved back to dumb terminals as our browser, but at some point, they are moving us back to client server...
... all the owners who own hybrids, and also some form of gas guzzler because the hybrid isn't big enough?
A Prius does not hold my hockey gear very well, much less parts and such for home improvement projects.
Seriously, I will love it when a solid, workable, hybrid / electric pickup is available, that will not have battery death because the cold winters kill the batteries.
Would you want to visit a planet that broadcasts MTV and CSPN and monster movies? How much more confusing it must be for them when Godzilla attacks and the languages varies for each nation... They must think our planet is overrun by dinosaurs.
This comment is not about Apple vs Android, or cell phones or what nots.
This is a pet peeve of mine, messages that are trying to create an opinion for the reader, using phrases to force someone else's opinion into my own.
Buried in the penultimate paragraph is the somewhat alarming note that "77% of iPhone owners say they'll buy another iPhone, compared to 20% of Android customers who say they'll buy another Android phone."
I want to know why the usage. "Somewhat alarming" could have been left out of the original poster and carried the same weight. What is alarming about it? Is it alarming for Apple because they do not have a higher rate? Or because Android has such a high rate? Or is it vice versa? What makes it alarming?
Apparently, I'm on a LOTR theme this week... how about one friggin battery design, so that they are interchangable with just about every device. Cell phones, cameras, etc... everything uses a bloody different battery design. Hell even similar model phones use different batteries that are not interchangable.
Maybe this will be an LTE based phone instead of CDMA. Wasn't there an article on/. about Apple hiring LTE engineers earlier this year? Wouldn't this be the next logical step for Apple to implement the next stage? This is a perfect strategy for Verizon to launch the most popular phone on the next protocol.
One phone to rule them all, one phone to bind them
One phone to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
Course when they actually do sell it en masse, it will bring Verizon's networks to its knees too!
1. Location - typically connected where the majority of people gather, family / living room. How many people set up their gaming rigs right where every one can physically gather around. PCs are off in their own little world.
2. Initial Setup - consoles are typically a one shot deal. Hook it up, and your good to go. PC... you want the latest and greatest super game... constantly requires upgrading your hardware to get it to work. Driver incompatibility? I have to call who to get help? What... All that to play tetris??? What! (you get the gist)
3. Cost - Console, sub $500. Gaming PC - $1k or more
4. Image of users - Console gamers (everyone) vs PC gamers (pimpley faced nerds who can't get a date)
I call BS.
Plain and simple: No one knows what they will do unless they have trained for that situation. That's why drivers need to spend more time on the road learning all the crap that can go wrong.
The steps a driver will go through to remedy the situation is over generalized.
The assumption is that the vehicle suddenly accelerates, so the driver will throw the vehicle in neutral. That is wrong. The real thing a driver will do is take their foot off the accelerator, to reduce pressure to confirm that the vehicle is still accelerating on its own violation. That also assumes they haven't left it on cruise control. Come to think of it, I wonder if the cruise control is the issue.
If the vehicle is still accelerating, they are more than likely going to hit the accelerator and then pull foot off, to test if it is stuck. If it becomes more stuck, then we know why the vehicles are suddenly accelerating to over 100+ mph.
After that, then it depends on how rational the person is, whether they will think to throw the vehicle in neutral, or shut off the vehicle.
If the average human response time is about 2 seconds, you'll be lucky if you haven't buried your vehicle into the back end of another vehicle, while you work through how to stop the situation.
Call me silly, but I'm pretty certain I didn't spend a lot of time practicing this scenario when I was learning to drive. And I'll wager even people learning to drive a manual don't practice this at all.
Assuming how people will assume responses will be, is worse than making an a$$ out of u and me. Its just... overassumptious. =)
This was Palin's private email address, where she conducts personal activities. The fact that there are might be some work related stuff is not that big of a deal.
Note some of the "work related" stuff were personal comments, not work related, about the topic.
It is illegal for government representatives to use their work related email for anything not related to work. Most recently up here, state legislators were campaigning for others and their party, on work time and work emails. This is a clear violation of the State's Ethics.
So its not surprising that Sarah would have a personal account where she does personal things.

"Stream of Wii", nice.
First thought when I read that was an instant creamed porridge breakfast thing...
So just as I'm about to snipe that cocky bastage, I'll get an ad for Code Nuke Mt. Dew.
Sadly, I have a bad feeling...
And here I was thinking I was being a nonconformist for not having a smart phone... Damn...
This assumes your smart phone is not randomly sending data on its own at a couple of MBs a day.
So in the next 20 years we are going to have a bunch of scientists needing grants to study vampires and werewolves?
So the medium is the message...
And this is new? How far back it goes I don't know. But the original Godzilla comes to mind...
... will it take to run the spell checker and grammer nazi on my document?
They will create inflatable dolls of hot Russian nurses and schoolgirls

So does this mean that IE9 with its GPU acceleration can be used as the avenue for attack?
Am glad I'm down to 1 credit card.

Like this is so like cool. Now lil Tifne can like wrt her own 133t apps that like evr1 should like dl, cause it totally is like the bomb...
Ok... enough of that rant...

My guess is if the phone can be set up as a USB device, it can be breached.
So I wonder when they will have one for the iPhone?
