Do I need to pay for GPS service?
QVC was advertising one that looked very appealing to me. It is about $400.00. It is portable, so you don't lose it when you trade in your vehicle. I don't know of a continued fee to keep you functional. They did say that there was a built in feature to keep it updated. I don't understand all how this works. (obviously) All the more reason for someone like me to own one. A good homing device for the mother. Ha ha!
Do you have to pay the minister for a funeral service?
Where I live you pay the minister a standard fee for each service he provides (like for baptism, marriage, funeral, commemoration...). All this money goes for maintaining the church, for the needy, building other churches/monasteries, for the minister's salary and so on... Maybe it does not apply to where you live (or in your religion) because here one must be a real minister (accepted by the Church, not just someone who studies theology) to do such things or he might end up in jail! Still, in your particular situation, I guess that since he's family no money would be necessary.
Do you have to pay for Community Service?
Depending on the terms in your jurisdiction, there might be some kind of administrative fee. But generally, community service is a lot like volunteering. If you're doing it locally, there is no fee involved (volunteering away from home, you generally have to pay for our room and board and transportation). My son talked a judge into letting him have community service instead of a fine for a traffic violation because he had no money to pay the ticket. He did his time with a local nonprofit agency at no cost.
Do I have to pay a pet deposit if I have a service dog?
Not to say I am right or wrong. Just out of curiosity. Could not a ESA be considered a service animal when as the one person says a disability is considered "* helping persons with psychiatric and neurological disabilities by preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors. " Depresssion is considered a psychiatric and neurological disability. If the animal provides the person with a emotional support system that prevents them from harming themselves out of the depression they are dealing with. I'd say that if you are going to harm yourself or thing you might and a licensed psychiatrist agrees, thinking or worrying about or considering ending your own life because you have no one there or feel you don't constitutes as "preventing or interrupting impulsive or disruptive behavior. By having that emotional support from the unconditional love of an animal does prevent someone from doing that in many cases. I would say in a court of law with a letter from a licensed psychiatrist that the individual does indeed suffer from such a disability, which depression IS a disability or can be. Not everyone deals with stress or depression in the same manner. Also PTSD IS considered a disability. So how can you say that ESA's are NOT considered service animals. I will admit though that the process needs to be better regulated and monitored and not just anyone should be able to get this. But this does not discount emotional issues from being declassified as a disability or the animal as not being a service animal. Just saying....don't be so fast to judge or condemn, or be so defensive. Pretty sure all these people on here complaining are wrong. There might be certain definitions that differ in the types of ESA's without a doubt but that does not mean they are NOT considered or should not be considered service dogs. As selfish as you may think it is. As it is one site is quoted as saying 1 out of 4 people suffer from some sort of emotional disability. Animals definitely Do and ARE therapeutic medicine for many.
Do you have to pay a monthly service for gps units?
The answer is for basic GPS you do not have to pay a monthly fee. The only fees you would have to pay is for special units that feature real time traffic monitoring and this is generally optional. The traffic monitoring allows the GPS to re-route in real time around traffic jams and accidents. I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 that works great. It is free to use. If I wanted the traffic monitoring I would have to pay $60 for a one year suscription on top of extra hardware. Hope this helps!
Do you have to pay monthly for internet service provider (ISP)?
ISP stands for Internet Service Provider so it has nothing to do with the PS2. An Isp is someone like a phone company or a cable company. They're the ones who provide the lines and servers used to get online, an ISP. So yes you do need to pay your ISP in order to get/remain online but again, it has nothing to do with the games. As far as online games go, most have a monthly fee associated for server maintenence and the like so now you're tacking on an additional $12-$20 a month after you've just paid $50 for the game iteslf so now you're paying not only your ISP but your monthly subscription charge so it can get quite pricey if you're not careful. If you have a PC and want a free onine experience there are plenty of free online games out there and if you're looking for something more professional you could try Guild Wars for PC, it's an online game with no monthly fee. But yes you'll need to continue paying your ISP to access the internet.
Do you have to subscribe to a service to use a DVR?
There are some DVRs out there that will allow you to just use the DVR like a VCR. Some have built-in DVD recorders. I've never really looked into them. TiVo requires a subscription otherwise you cannot even use it like a VCR for time recordings. I have had a TiVo for 6 1/2 years now. I have the Comcast HD DVR which I'm renting from Comcast. And I've used the Time Warner Scientific Atlanta that was in a condo we rented in Hawaii. By far, hands down, the easiest to use, the most reliable, and the most full featured with things like Wishlists is the TiVo. The Comcast is okay, but my wife and I and our friends who own a TiVo and also rent the Comcast DVR all find ourselves using four-letter words when the Comcast DVR doesn't work the way it should (like forgetting to record a show or turning off in the middle of watching a prerecorded program or making me navigate through a set of menus AGAIN). By far the worst, clunkiest, and most painful DVR to use that I've encountered is the Time Warner Scientific Atlanta DVR. I guess if you don't know any better, it's okay, but I found the thing really hard to use and I'm a DVR user for years and have been computer programming for almost 30 years. You get what you pay for. As soon as the new TiVo Series 3 comes out, I'm going to be the first in line to buy it and the Comcast DVR will go back to Comcast. I realize that DVR is out of the price class that you are looking for. It's just to point out that once you experience a TiVo, it's really hard to accept the lesser quality and capabilities of any other DVR out there.
Do i have to pay a monthly fee to use a GPS?
GPS signal is provided by our U.S. government, we do pay for it through our tax dollars and the GPS signal are used by military, airlines, marine application along with many other purposes such as tracking of packages to tracking of vehicles. Some GPS systems like the new DASH GPS do have a monthly service charge and does include WiFi and GPRS signal where one can perform real time Yahoo POI searches. Most GPS manufacturers offer additional subscriptions such as MSN service, XM radio service, real time traffic service that can add monthly service fees to your GPS should you wish to have these abilities. Over all, the only charge that I can see that will affect the lower end GPS units will be the yearly map updates that refresh your map and points of interest data. This cost can run you between $69 -$99 on the average and it is well worth it to keep your map data current due to changes in new developments and Points of Interest. As far as a monthly service fee for GPS signal goes, we all pay for it through our tax dollars so there is no individual payment we have to make. You can view some inexpensive GPS systems at Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc website at http://www.autonav2000.com/mall/anProdList1.asp Good luck
We don't pay for the internet as such.It is important to understand the following:The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks, of local to global scope, that are linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support email.- WikipediaWhat you pay for when you pay the bill from your internet provider is the service they provide - and that service involves putting some cables in the ground, maintaining those cables, connecting those cables somewhere, paying people to do all of that, paying someone else to answer the phone when you call the hotline etc.So you don't pay for the internet - you pay for someone to connect you to the internet, and doing that costs money.It seems rather unlikely that a service like that would become free, unless we found a way to connect everyone without any costs involved which is highly unlikely if not impossible. Even if governments were to supply 'free' internet, it would in the end be paid by taxpayers.Take a look at this short explanation:What you pay for is the basically the part between 0:47 and 1:10, and the reason why you pay for it is that cables, equipment and employees etc. all cost money.
A TSB is issued when there have been enough complaints about a certain issue affecting a specific type of car, but the issue is not safety- or emissions-related. Basically, the manufacturer sends out an advisory about the recurring problem to dealership service departments. Most TSBs are issued during the first year a vehicle is out on the market in order to address issues that might have been overlooked when the car was originally designed. This can include problems with CD players, irregularities in the paint, and hard-to-start engines.A TSB-related repair is considered optional, since there is no direct threat to the driver or occupants’ safety. Therefore, they are an out-of-pocket expense. When the TSB is issued, the service department will received illustrated instructions for the repair, a list of the parts needed, how the repair might affect the warranty, and suggested labor costs.
