Go move to the country. You get more pollution from factories and mother nature than you get from cigarettes. One volcanic eruption can put more bad stuff in the air than everything mankind has done in its entire existence. You have no right to clean air if you are in my personal space, and the cigarette smoke is NOT DOING JACK FUCKING SHIT to you if you are out of my personal space (i.e. 50 feet away). Furthermore, the science has been disproven. Go do some reasearch you ignorant fascist. If you were in my house I'd tie you down and force you to smoke, and it would be grand entertainment.

People like you just want to take away more and more rights. What if it was found out that cotton caused cancer, even if you were 50 feet away from it? (Yes, it's an insane supposition.) People like me would say, "If you don't like cotton, you can leave." People like you would insist that I surrender my underwear before they infringe on your rights.

Fuck. Why am I even responding? Now people are getting fired for smoking in their own homes on their own time. You are just another increment on the ruler to fascism. You might not believe in the destination, but you are a fucking tool helping fascism happen whether you know it or believe it or not.

Fired for smoking here.

P.S. I would gladly murder you to preserve my right to give you cancer.

One, I've never heard of any company firing someone who smokes. Could you provide a source.

Have you tried google?

If You Smoke, You're Fired

and

Bad habit is under fire from Daniels, U.S. firms

From the article:
Ohio is one of 21 states that allow companies to fire workers who smoke anywhere -- even at home.

You call me paranoid, but I bet that if, 10 years ago, I'd suggested that people would be fired for smoking in their own homes and on their own free time you would have called that paranoid too.

He was a election judge in Baltimore County, MD. Near the end of his story, Avi writes "My biggest fear is that super Tuesday will be viewed as a big success."

And here's what the local media had to say the next day:

Elections Officials Say Electronic Voting Successful

Read all about it here. The election comissioner here stated in January, I believe, that she had full confidence in the reliability of the Diebold equipment. Foot -> Mouth.

BALTIMORE -- A Popeye's fried chicken restaurant in Baltimore City remains open Thursday night after a complaint about a mouse found in the food.

Mouse Found Inside Popeye's Chicken

Baltimore health officials said they're keeping a close eye on the restaurant after a patron claimed to have found something furry in his chicken dinner.

Tony Hill, of Baltimore, said he bit into the second piece of a three-piece meal from the Popeye's at Moravia Road and Sinclair Lane and found something that wasn't supposed to be there -- a mouse had been fried along with his chicken.

But WBAL-TV 11 News reporter Jeff Pegues reported that it is unclear as to whether the complaint is a hoax or the real thing.

Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Peter Beilenson told Pegues that the restaurant has been closed twice before in the past two years for mouse infestation and unsanitary conditions.

Beilenson told 11 News that his office is investigating.

"It appears to be a legitimate complaint ... but we found no evidence of mouse infestation," Beilenson said.

Health inspectors examined the restaurant Thursday morning, and Beilenson said they may soon return.

Wait, plan, then strike!

Here are a couple more tidbits: I believe this is similar to a older kodak camera, in which case the interface is probably a serial to 1/8th jack.

This /. post describes a possible icky drawback (60 bucks down, 39 refund on return ) Hope that isn't the case!

This is a little more detailed about the marketing behind the camera, and it gives the location of the test store.

If this post is not karma-whorelicious, your money back!

On another note, there are a few loopholes to the DNC list: "Police can still mass dial people under the guise of crime awareness...Even telemarketers conceded that the new national "do not call" list doesn't mean you're off the hook..."

Some of these loopholes, to my understanding, allow non-profit and/or political organizations and companies conducting so-called surveys even if you're on the do not call list. So while the original article mentions 28 million phone numbers are already on the list, one wonders just how effective it will be...
