I personally believe its our constant exposure to dihydrogen monoxide. Its particularly nasty when inhaled in liquid form. Its also to blame for this whole disaster to begin with!

and a SIP account with CallCentric.com

They provide SIP service, starting at per use only (about $3 if you dont use it) and up to full unlimited international. My old cellphone is now a sip line fwd'd to my work cell phone. That way if/when I have to change jobs, I still have my old # and can at least use it on my computers via sip clients.

With a wifi sip phone, you can input your SIP account info and anywhere you have internets via WiFi, you have fone. If you want, you could get a mifi + usb data card to do the wifi bits. I have a cradlepoint PHS300 (courtesy a Woot! BOC) that works awesome, just plug in my Blackberry and I dont have to deal with the crappy bbdesktop or Sprint software.

how is Theresa Manyan anyway?

The company that got the fine turns around and challenges the Government's right to meddle with private businesses, and gets the penalty eliminated while saying the USDH doesnt have the authority to fine people.... I swear, if we have Departments setup to regulate businesses, what good does it do to not allow them to actually enforce their regulations???

Yes, because only a terrorist would do that, so you would be arrested on the spot if you tried to use it!! Yeh, sure your "friend" gave it to you, or you got it from selling stuff at a "yard sale", thats just terrorist speak for fellow terrorist and Arms Sale!

Also one of the first I got with my NES (for xmass), along with the 3pack cartridge of Super Mario, Duck Hunt and Track Meet (yeh, had the powerpad combo pack). Still have it all here, except the powerpad, right under the PS1 (most modern console I have). Grew up playing neighbor's 2600 until I got the NES.

Once you upgrade to a 4chan Gold account it becomes really clear. Thats how you meet up with other anons and connect to the hive mind. I havent paid my dues in quite a while tho...

They sprinkled their magic Oil-B-Gone all over it and *POOF* it disappeared! Thats where!! No harmful effects guaranteed!!

Like making sure "Obama is a one term President!" Yeh, gotta get priorities set right, cause thats what the people want! Conflict and inaction to make sure someone else is elected, not any actual work on any real issues... ugh, makes me sick

sounds like a way to cheat the system on something LasVegas probably has a line on already...have you seen what they are betting on for the Superbowl? How long will it take Christina Aguilera to sing the National Anthem, Will Fergie be dressed as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader at any point during the Halftime show...

Newsflash: SF Bay area has had transponder based tolls since 2000 (see FasTrak). They still have cash lanes for those of us that dont drive over the bridges enough to justify getting the thing (it requires you to associate a debit card/account for reloading, and have a minimum balance in your fastrak account at all times (ie: money sitting in an account not getting interest), and for tourists and others in rental cars or whoever else is driving through without the box.

What TFA is about (going from the newspaper article I read about it this morning, not TFA) is getting completely rid of the toll collectors and toll booths and just billing everyone by license plate.... which doesnt work for new car tags, rentals, people borrowing/stealing someone else's car or altering their tags, or out-of-state travelers driving through (I doubt they have authority to track down their address from the other state's DOT for billing). I agree with the motion, need to move to fully automated booths, but mailing bills is not the answer. Put up kiosks that take bills, coins, or credit card swipes, they would work faster than the toll booth operators we have now, that sometimes will let you sit there while they count out bills and swap stacks around before taking your exact change...

Whats not mentioned is the other bay area bridges, the golden gate is only the most famous of them. The oakland/bay bridge (the one that collapsed in the Loma Prieta quake), San Mateo hwy 92 bridge (once the longest bridge in the world, now 25th), Dumbarton, and Richmond bridges are also toll, and will also probably see the same elimination of toll booth operators.
