You should use PNC Bank if it is in your area. All transactions on thier ATM's are free, and if you have more than a $2,500 average daily balance in your checking, they will reimburse you for fees incurred while using non-PNC ATM's.
Why is TV always a replacement for parents teaching their children about common sense, thinking things through, and how the world works. Life skills should come from trial and error and parental teaching, not some glowing box in the corner.
A 4Meg image file? Who would ever want to use that as a background image. Maybe that's the first issue there for your large bandwith to myspace. Or is this some image that was not designed to be used as a background?
Please don't confuse rising gas prices with the simpilist of economic concepts: supply and demand. Think about what it takes to obtain and turn oil from the ground into usuable gasoline. Then factor in world wide supply and demand and all the taxes on gasoline.
I do recognize the opportunity for slowly increasing prices for automated payments. Gas is not one of them.
No, it just means that you are using a parking spot for more than its original intended time period. The whole point of parking meters is to provide short term rotating parking that many people can use throughout the day. By forcing you to go back to the actual meter to pay, it makes you be more efficient at running errands downtown.
Now, putting simple economics into play, one event might eventually result of these types of meters. If I work downtown, I can either 1) pay $20 to park in a garage, or 2) tap a button on my phone every couple of hours to pay for parking. #2 even done 8 times a day is $2.40 in 'convenience' fees plus say $0.25 per hour. So ballpark at $5 for the whole parking day. Now, no one would use a garage, opting instead to park on the street - it's cheaper. People complaing about everyone using spots for 8-10 hours a day. Result: $0.25 per hour turns into $2.00 - $3.00 per hour. Suddenly, a convenience for some turns into a 1000% hike in prices for everyone else.
So in the end they wouldn't be doing something to benefit their citizens. They are just pawning parking tickets on the rest of the citizens in the city. I don't want to pay for some guy who can't keep money in the meter. Would you want to pay for someone else's speeding ticket?
And oddly enough, private corporations actually do more to keep customers than governments do for their citizens benefit. If a corporation ticks off a customer, they lose business (and word of mouth business). If you don't like what a city is doing, you have to move.
Less pockets full of change, less parking tickets
more people too lazy to walk down the street and burn off that big mac to put more change in the meter.
Granted, there are some instances when this would be nice, but I think most people would use it because they are just plan lazy. Convenience, less exercise, and more food has made this nation very plump.
Also, why would a city want to risk losing that much revenue from all those tickets?
I think this idea has already been written down...about 2,000 years ago.
Revelation 13:16-18
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Maybe you should find a different job if the 'rule' is to work 9 to 9, 5 days a week, every week. Unless of course you are getting paid overtime.
My life got much more enjoyable when I realized that work is just that...work. I've got better things to do than sit in an office for 12 hours a day.

I completely agree. People need to understand that it is not possible to have both low prices and high wages in every industry. If you want lower prices on everything then take a lower wage, otherwise don't complain when work goes overseas. You can't have it both ways.

"Intuitive" may have not been the best word, but you would still have to train yourself how to use it. Try dialing with your eyes closed.
Personally, my vote for worst designed button scheme is the Nokia 3650. Arranged in a counter-clockwise circle. Now how is that intuitive?
They already have one. It's called Firefly Mobile

Oh for sure. Very agreed with you there. Subtle increases outside of inflation are extremely easy to miss. You nickel and dime yourself into debt.
