Well that would be one additional source of revenue that wouldn't require increasing gas prices for everyone -- start putting tolls on your highways, bridges, and tunnels. The money raised would then go directly into a fund to maintain them.

And those states should get their asses in gear. It's certainly not new technology.

Many states have an EZ-Pass or similar system. I should think it would be quite easy to charge variable rates depending upon the time of day via these systems. It would also be another big incentive to get people using them.

Take some tinfoil, form a large hat, a medium hat, and small hat. Put the large one on your head, the medium one on your laptop, and the small one on your phone. After that, you should be just fine.

Find another way of funding the HTF that doesn't rely upon bleeding more gas money from people.

People drive less and buy more fuel efficient vehicles because the price of gas is so fucking high. Lower the price and people will drive more because the amount they spend on gas every month won't be the same as their rent.

Basic Economics 101. Not surprising it goes right over their heads.

I'd love to see USB 3.0 and gigabit ethernet on there. Hell, throw in onboard wifi while you're at it.

You could just leave it the fuck alone.

Nothing more to add than that.

...Mr. Anthony buys me a new computer or OS + the necessary hardware upgrades for all my XP boxes then he can tell me what I must do. If not, STFU.

Yup.

The problem is that if they don't complain about this and try to shut it down what's to stop cable companies from doing to same thing and stop paying billions a year in retransmission fees? The TV industry makes a shitload of money from cable TV providers. They certainly do not want to see that revenue stream dry up.

Unlikely to happen, despite them saying it's something they might do. There are millions of people that use antennas to watch broadcast TV. Killing the OTA feeds would be cutting off their noses to spite their faces, especially if they think doing so is going to drive people to start paying for cable TV.

Depends. When will they stop paying off judges and lawmakers?

And then people wonder why the NSA is tracking everyone and the feds are developing drones. It's for asshats like this douchebag. Keep bragging asshole.

And then taken care of and educated by who? We're a long way off from robots who are legitimate substitutes for real human parents.
