Injecting, inhaling, coating yourself in, and/or swallowing something that makes you addicted to a substance does not constitute a disease. I believe, though I don't really care enough to look (for fear I'm probably wrong anyway), that the AMA called the addiction itself a disease, simply because being deprived of the addictive substance affects your body adversely.
Aside from that (and this is a stretch, but people with shiny hatwear will appreciate it), the FDA will not allow the sale of patches, pills or other methods to curb smoking habits as medical devices unless they can be used to cure a disease. It's the same thing that Kevin Trudeau guy got in trouble for. Only medicines can cure diseases, and only the FDA can approve medicines. So, unless it's a disease, these things cannot be marketed as cures, and the only way they can be marketed as cures is if the FDA approves them as medicines. How much money do you think is wrapped up in stop-smoking products?
An addiction to masturbation is quite the same way. As I'm sure many people here can attest to, without "getting the poison out," a person can be caused pain, become irritable, lose sleep, perform poorly at work or sports, can acquire jitters or shakes, and various other things that would be the same for a person who hasn't puffed on their death stick. Does that mean that I should get a fifteen minute spank break every two hours at work?
Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex, MMOs, and many many other things that are considered addictions are not. They are merely a weakness of character. If they are actually addictions, then I should get my UFC tickets to be covered by my insurance, because I'm certainly ADDICTED to that. Being a cell is very hard, so I can understand your point of view that why evil love the weak.That why the peoples with PHD should try to teach the right things before we all become Robots
But what if you have live it? Dead peoples don't talk.As far as the undergrads, I was fighting a war,as far as a graduates, I was taken care of my family, and as far as a person with a PHD well you see the state of the the world. We should work as a team not the other way.
I tend to favor the opinion of professionals over some random jerkoff on the internet. If you've studied the issue for more than a decade and also have a legitimate reason for going against the consensus of your peers, I'd love to hear it.
Whether or not nicotine addiction is a disease is completely irrelevant. The issue is control and choice. Tobacco users had control and made a choice which led to them becoming nicotine addicts.
Saying "I shouldn't be discriminated against, because addiction is a disease!" is bullshit. It may be a disease, but you gave it to yourself because of your poor life decisions. It's like deliberately injecting yourself with the Ebola virus, getting Ebola, and then saying "it's not my fault I have Ebola symptoms! I have a disease! Don't discriminate against me!" It's like deliberately mixing radioactive waste into your food, getting radiation poisoning, and saying "It's not my fault! I have a disease!" And back in the 1950s you could (legitimately) plead innocence, but anyone who took up smoking after 1980 knew exactly what they were getting themselves into.
Comparing tobacco users to people with inherited disorders is bullshit. Tobacco users have a disease, if that's what you want to call it, because they made a stupid decision. A person with hemophilia inherited defective genes. One has a disorder because of something under their control, their decision to smoke. The other has a disorder because of something completely out of their control, the mixture of genes they inherited from their parents.
What planet did you drop in from, do you know that peoples are like baby's when they are born in this world, it not thier fork that the one'e" like you" who don't have the heart to make a wrong right. This was all ready here when most peoples do get outside in the world and learn bad thing that people's like you sell to then and the world, you help make this problem so stop all that crying and help solve the problem.
Actually, I just rethought my position a bit. What is fundamentally wrong with hiring policies that prohibit smoking? Again, I'm a smoker, and I really can't see much wrong with the idea.
You can't compare this to genetic discrimination. People have no say in what genes they're born with, but they most certainly have a say in whether they choose to engage in behaviors that drive up healthcare costs.
Maybe the answer would be to charge higher insurance premiums for such behaviors, maybe it's something else. But it's definitely not on par with genetic discrimination. Well there are poeple in the world that are con artist's who try to make money off the weak people of the world, we need laws to make sure that evil do'not have the power. This is what good people do for peoples, Thank Mr.Bush for doing the right thing.
Well every since the 60s when I was 13 years old I know that this day would come, now that we are almost there let keeping going thank God for the insight of his house.
For the life of me every time that I have had this talk with other people they said that you can not bring back a hard drive, well girls and boys they would not have the Robot in lost in space the star of the the show when will get in trouble. Now that we can bring all Robot's back to life we will have some fun.
Slashdot doesn't give a crap about new websites. The ONLY reason it's mentioned here is because the backbone of the site is Open Source. Apparently that's important enough. Yeah! Ignore that fact the site is all about earth and space science. You know, because everyone at Slashodot has equal levels of knowledge of such things and any site such as this which is meant to further the education of those who don't have that level of knowledge is useless. Yup, definitely not "news for nerds, stuff that matters."
How about you get off your high horses? I'm a teacher teaching the equivalent of 8th grade science and 10th, 11th, and 12th grade biology in Thailand, and I'm glad that this got posted to slashdot or I might have missed it. There is a lot of cool information on that site, and I can see myself using it this year with my science classes. Kudos to Slashdot for bringing it to my attention.
Sorry, but we can't all be genius rocket scientists / earth scientists like the PP and GPP.

Well it seen like there are fews peoples that are still around crying about this site, for one things there are other who would like to learn and want to learn, just because you did not want to learn and still do all that crying about nothing, in other word please get out of the way and let the little ones learn some of this wisdom. P.S. this a good site een if you are not a spaceman
Ok now that we are here let talk about the meaning of light years for the one who want to know about this. If we were to travel that far in a spaceship what would happen? How will the person or people's that may want to take the trip be, what will they ages be will be the same as on earth or do time change things in space. We know 60's some light year but do it mean the time that we have here on earth or the times that it will be when they get to the spot where the plant et will be? If some want to give some insight, please do tell.
Maybe I'm just old, but having a competition for something that's actually practical and could somehow find it's way into the consumer market is a lot more exciting to me after all these contests that really don't benefit "real" people. Well the point of view on this subject is to improve the living conditions for peoples on this earth and after that it on to Spaceship or space car.
This really has nothing to do with Television or TV transmitters. The idea here is that since a region does not have ALL of the TV channels (frequencies) in use, the unused frequencies could be used by other providers to deliver wireless Internet.
For example: If the region has channels 2, 4, 5, 8, 11, and 13 (just VHF for this example), then the frequencies that correspond to channels 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12 could be used by wireless ISPs.
The reason this is desired is that these frequencies are much lower than the 2.4 GHz and nearby frequencies used by current wireless network technology. Lower frequencies, on the whole, are less diminished by atmospheric moisture and other debris that blocks or absorbs radio waves. Thus, at the same power level, the signal "goes further" at lower frequencies than at higher.
Anyway, this testing of devices for use in this whitespace spectrum is to determine/assess the effectiveness of the devices at scanning a wide portion of radio frequencies, determining where existing services are, and "set up shop" on frequencies where no other service is operating -- automatically. When I read this I say ok then we will just piggyback on the line's then everyone would be happy. Wonder what will happen when they learn that E.S.P is not for sale, think your way to the world.
No. What Bruce has realized is that, in the boardroom and the lunchroom (where almost nobody knows any better), security theatre often will kick the ass of real security practices because it's marketed by professional sales teams. It also often can be delivered for less (because it can be priced for what the market will bear).
If you want real security to be provided, you have to learn to sell it at least as well as the snake-oil. You have to make it sufficiently visible, but non-impeding, that people feel safe.
It's about understanding the human/political side of the equation that can make the difference between a successful deployment and a perceived failure. And to the point to much and not enough, so now what do we have some one who pocketing all the money, make it whjere it fair and then talk.
Kill her! Who knows what other powers she might have? Well it look like someone want to be funny. If you learn something about life beside the foot-in-mouth,maybe your brain will begin to work, this is about helping the world's with the wisdom that God give us
You mean, not everyone spends their lunchtimes reading Slashdot? So the money machine never die? well get use to it, for it will be around when we are all gone.
Slashdot has a much more focused story selection, the front page isn't rife with spelling errors, grammatical errors, and poor headlines, and finally the moderated comments on Slashdot are usually pretty good and I enjoy reading them. If I want to see some funny picture from 2001 complete with a terrible headline and mind numbingly stupid comments I'll go to digg. I'm not trying to bash digg too hard since I do visit it about as frequently as slashdot, but slashdot is definitely easier to read and the comments are really what makes slashdot special to me. O, I bite, so tell me where that leave the rest of us, I alway have like dig g, don't have no problem but what about the other one?
It was begin to hit me that I was getting to many e-mail in one box, but that become a problem, so I get more way to have e-mail to me to talk, now there are too many to talk to, all I want was just one.
Well now here something that I can understand, in layman term ways, so it still a little slow for some of us, but have much will it cost and will everyone share this too.
Wow are we a little slow on this,we are in the 2008s let get the ball rolling and man there are a lots of dark commets about this, one word to the wise: if you don't do no wrong then you are not part of this.
Slashdot Mirror
I think we already have this kind of control firing.
But what if you have live it? Dead peoples don't talk.As far as the undergrads, I was fighting a war,as far as a graduates, I was taken care of my family, and as far as a person with a PHD well you see the state of the the world. We should work as a team not the other way.

It seen like that might be the only way, but why is that anyway?
Now this is good news, hope that we can see when this happen. But that mean that they can keep the spinal fuild from get infest with germs.
No it a long story and this is good news make be we can get more picture from out there.
It was begin to hit me that I was getting to many e-mail in one box, but that become a problem, so I get more way to have e-mail to me to talk, now there are too many to talk to, all I want was just one.
That not how I show my Girls, but I did tell then let no man beat you dowm, so at this day and time they are doing great.
You are so right and the more money we spend the less we get.
You are so right,sometime I get lost up here. The toys that they make for us,will just might ground my spaceship.
Well now here something that I can understand, in layman term ways, so it still a little slow for some of us, but have much will it cost and will everyone share this too.
Thank God that there is someone on our side in this, the little peoples, who don't have all the money, it make me feel good that freedom is working.
Wow are we a little slow on this,we are in the 2008s let get the ball rolling and man there are a lots of dark commets about this, one word to the wise: if you don't do no wrong then you are not part of this.
