I see that there are still a bunch of black and white TV's being used.
But the weirdest part of this article is that you guys have to license and pay a yearly tax for your TV's??????

Doesn't mean it makes sense. Paying a license on a tv you own?
And they wonder why we wanted to be free from them.

No, it doesn't. It's a remnant from the days where TV's were still new and unknown. When the governments still funded the only channels.
However, most of that licence income goes to the funding for the channels. Which in turn pays for the shows they create.
Isn't Europe in the middle ages or something like that?
The License fee, currently £145.50 per year, pays for the BBC television and radio channels which have no income from commercials. They also produce regional programmes, both radio and televison. The BBC is supposedly "independant" from the state but there is still a fair amount of interferance if you'll excuse the pun.
All other channels are run commercially funded by advertising.
There is an enforcement regime mainly based on a database of some 30 odd million properties, they assume all houses have a TV, you have to declare that you do not. Fines for not having a license can go up to £1,000.
http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/detection-and-penalties-top5/
A license is per household and covers all devices. It is still required for devices capable of watching or recording live TV even if you don't have a TV! This could mean your phone if it can be used to watch or record live TV, but not if you watch the program via their catch up service. Then it all starts to get a little blurred.
The page above claims they have hand held detection equipment, and detector vans to detect operating equipment.
Do they actually work or are they a complete bluff? The jury is still out.
Fines and convictions appear to have been the accused actually admitting their own guilt, when the enforcement officers came banging on the door.
This topic can run and run...............
*********************************************
Enforcement Officer: "Excuse me Sir, could I see your TV license?"
Householder: "Certainly, here it is."
Enforcement Officer: "But Sir, this license is ten years out of date!"
Householder: "So are the bloody programmes!"

As has already been stated, the license fee funds the BBC.
It's worth every penny not to get advert infested TV programs on the channels that the BBC run. The advertising on all of the other channels is intrusive in my opinion.
I've been to the USA and tried watching TV there. It's a dead loss as there is even more advertising than on the commercial channels in the UK. Rather than programming interrupted by by advertising it is more like advertising interrupted by programming! I found it very frustrating.
And don't get me started on $ky TV. You pay a subscription AND advertising pushed on you! No thanks!!!

Fight Back: Congress Pushing Broad Internet Snooping Bill
"A direct assault on Internet users" is what the ACLU is calling it. A U.S. House committee has already approved HR 1981, a broad new Internet snooping bill.
They want to force Internet service providers to keep track of and retain their customers' information -- including your name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and temporarily-assigned IP addresses.
And get this: It's authored by lead SOPA sponsor Lamar Smith.
The ACLU, EFF, Demand Progress, and 25 other civil liberties and privacy groups have expressed our opposition to this legislation. Will you join us, by emailing your lawmakers today? Just use the form at right.
ISPs would collect and retain your data whether or not you're accused of a crime. Supporters shamelessly dubbed it the "Protecting Children From Internet Pornographers Act," but our staunchest allies in Congress are calling it what it is: an all-encompassing Internet snooping bill.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, who led Democratic opposition to the bill said, "It represents a data bank of every digital act by every American [that would] let us find out where every single American visited Web sites."

lets focus our efforts on the internet instead of the deficit... We gotta look like were doing something in this "House"...
Due to three nominations in another thread and a lengthy discussion, I've decided I'm going to take over Australia.
So far, I'm running on the platform of increasing the quality of Domino's Pizza and a free Datsun 120Y for everyone.
I don't care about the monarchy one way or the other. I figure I'll put it to a vote once I take over.
Also, I'm going to have to seize power, since being elected Governor General doesn't really come with much power at all.
Feel free do add your thoughts on this as well. I promise to be a fair and mostly uncaring ruler. I'm along the line of a "sort out your own problems in that usual Aussie way" kind of leader.
Some of you may come along with me. I'll make a note of it here, so I don't forget.
New Australian Ministers:
Minister of Pizza Quality Control: CTM
Minister of Pints and Spirits: Juzz
First Lady/Minister of Servitude: TRM (also has a shoe budget)
Chief People Importer (and slave): m1l4droid
Minister of Highway and Datsun Safety: mf2112
Minister of Agriculture: Snoop D.O Double G
Minister of Da Fence: -DarkKnight-

Chief Supervisor in charge of Chief Supervisors and Quality Control: M_T_M

Looks like Google is getting into the television service providing game. $120/mo is waaay too high for TV IMO. Thoughts?
The free Nexus 7 is nice (but not $120 a month nice since it's $250 for the 16gb), being able to stream from Android devices is nice, but with a service like tv the only way they can oust the monopolies is to beat them on price point. I can't justify spending $120 a month on just tv when I get internet and tv for less than $100 from my local monopoly.
Take out the commercials without the use of the dvr then I might justify paying that much. Also if you are going to play reruns dont just rerun 12 different episodes
LOL Cool idea but too expensive.

I've never understood the idea of commercials on anything other than the free over the air channels. I already pay for the tv service, why am I being advertised to like I didn't?!
Google fiber is also a broadband networking service in Kansas city

That's cool but definitely not worth 120 a month.

You're paying to be able to receive the channels, you're not paying for the channel itself (that's why starz, hbo, and cinemax are extra, they don't have commercials).
Depends though.. What exact features are coming with the package? I mean it is a bit pricey, but if it offers something another service won't besides a free Nexus 7 "Win!" Than it would be worth looking into.
From my understanding it would be wise to drop DirectTV and Dish at this point because I've heard they dropped plenty of channels an average consumer watches, AMC/Comedy Central etc.
I'd be using Verizon right now if my apartment supported them :/
Have to rely on crappy charter unfortunately.

It is free internet, can't really complain? Household average, seems about correct. Charter gives me about 10-20mbps "Not really" they are ripping me off completely even after I've complained and argued.
I was suppose to be getting 30mbps, charter is not trust worthy at all.
But.. you get the Google package, wade out the two years :/ you have a nexus 7, free internet and now you can drop them for the low package (which I didn't see them mention in the article) for ever how much it is. Then get the bad ass internet.
I'm sure its more complicated than that but from a gist that's what I gathered someone would probably do.

What's your thoughts about the person who manages your day at work, school or even at home?
Do they treat everyone with understanding or does this person resemble Godzilla.
Is the boss all business or trusting enough to let things run?
Can you find the boss when need be or stays hidden so you get the blame?
Are they a clock watcher-nitpicker or pays no attention to a few gimmes as long the work is done on time?
Is the boss easy to work for or does everybody just live with attitude for pay?
Would you ever want to be the boss?

Our boss is rather.. insane. xD
Hide all the snacks, because if you look away they're gone.
If he's bored, he'll come over to see if we have anything interesting to watch. (I have a 1TB portable drive full of films and TVshows.)
Or he suddenly starts doing pushups on the stairs out of boredom. xD
Or do a fashionshow catwalk thing in the hall (we're a bodybuilder clothing brand. He is not a bodybuilder.... xD)
Also, randomly hands someone keys and tells them to go buy 14 bigmacs. xD
My boss is pretty typical. Acts like he is your friend, but you can tell, if you **** up, he will fire you on the spot. He is a company man to the core. Work at a large grocery distribution center. If we were not union, who knows how much people he would of fired.
With 35 years of clock punching I've had most every type of boss.
The great bosses usually didn't last long they always got moved out for better jobs.
The bad ones always stuck around till the union filed so many grievances they ran away.
I was kicked into the boss chair back in 2002.
Wow...talk about overwhelming!
I had women in my office crying, people ratting each other out, fist fights, investigations into willful property damage (aircraft parts), union rep in my office everyday, quality investigations, daily IT reports about network misuses, stand-up briefings with our center maintenance chief (USAF LT General), no more overtime...scary!
I wasn't very good at handling most things except the briefings, always had my facts straight and never lied.
Lasted a little under five years then bailed with an early out incentive.
Funny how you get the "we're gonna miss you around here" after the daily eye blackening.
Stress almost killed me...still get chest pains when I think about

I enjoy reading these...... So i guess ill add in I'm only 17 so not much work experience but I lifeguard at an Olympic sized usually popular pool...I have two main bosses and one is some big lady and the other is a very nice man their both scary to me but I like the guy better becuae he's more friendly...also I referee for soccer so no boss there...and I'm doing a scholarship/volunteer program at john Muir hospital and that's very fun and interesting nice boss there....
the first boss (well erm, supervisor) i ever had was a 21 year old hot chick who i was with in my 1st job, she was pretty, hot, and pretty.... and also she never got mad even though i was always late (30mins to be exact) every single day, i was 18 back then and worked for StraightTalk Wireless as a tier 1 customer and sales support agent, boy those were the times, i sometimes slept through work since i go to college in the morning whilst working in the graveyard shift and had a maximum of 5 hours sleep per day, she just taps my shoulder and says "don't let the seniors see ya", i really wonder why she let's me off the hook so easy, maybe it was because i was the teams top agent,
after that i had an indian boss, pretty cool guy, and he's the "democratic guy" who kicks ya out of you do something so stupid but yet lets you choose the options,
now i have american boss the "strict and sleek type" he doesn't like slacking around and wants you to be busy (i just act like im busy), he's okay since he'll defend his team from the corporate arseholes,

Ooooooh, you might be right. He gets weak.
-Easier than it sounds, harder than it looks.-
My boss owns the company. He basically said "here, run the place...I've got other things to do"
He's alright.
After hurricane Sandy, we had a dispatcher and a couple drivers that had no place to go. I told him about it and he gave them temporary housing in one of his buildings.
The last boss I dealt with was in a word "lost."
Before any decisions he had to call his boss.
He'd get the shakes and turn white if he had to jump on anyone.
What does this phone icon notification mean on my misses's Note. The phone is not calling anyone but have this notification...

No... I think it's the phone's lag. Icon is gone now.
Yeah. It happens when the dialer gets stuck after you finish the call

Interesting. Aside from the fact that I live in Los Angeles, am American, and have a Doctorate, I am not sure if that would be necessary. Have you tried seeing a proctologist?

Yes I have many publications by graduating law school. I wrote the declaration of independence; maybe you have heard of it. Thanks for your interest.
Do you have a purpose on xda aside from asking if you can install iOS on android (and trolling)?

You thought so what? I have a Juris Doctorate. That's 4 years of college and 4 years of law school.
What do you have? Exactly.

JD isn't PhD, it's master degree.
You can get both JD/MBA qualification in just three years from University of Melbourne, a program which I planning on applying.
And my penis is bigger than both of yours... Can we stop this inane flaming please, totally pointless.

This isn't about ego, this is about misrepresentation and claiming something you're not, the guy thinks he is a Doctorate or trying to fool others into believing that he's a Doctorate.
It is not Juris Doctorate, it's Juris Doctor, you'd think someone who spent 4 year studying for a qualification would at least know the name of their qualification.
In Commonwealth nations, JD is classified as Masters but teaches the same thing as a LLB program, so in reality, JD is really just a bachelor law degree, the only difference is that you need a bachelor degree in another discipline to enroll in JD, that's why it's classified as a postgraduate or Masters.
Things are bit different in the States, but still JD is not a Doctorate, in fact, in the States, JD is the first law degree since there is no bachelor law degree.

No, it's about flaming and has nothing to do with the thread title. Send each other pm's if you want to continue.

You really have no clue what youre saying. I have the diploma on my wall in front of me.
Right from Wikipedia: " Invariably an earned doctorate, the J.D./D.Jur. is equivalent in academic rank to the Doctor of Laws or Legum Doctor (LLD or LL.D.)."
Back on topic: how do I remove icon? Duh
do some research before making asinine false assertions.
