those facilities don't have private air supplies. Their air mixes with everyone elses. I walk down the sidewalk and I can smell these places, I also smell smokers on the sidewalk. (The human ability to smell smoke requires concentrations well above the threashold of toxicity). Much of the time I cannot walk into a non-smoking establishment without having to go through a cancer cloud. I also cannot open the windows to my own house during the summer because my of my neighbors smoking in their house, it blowing out their windows and into mine. I can also smell drivers in front of me smoking when i'm driving in the city.
That all makes your assertion "so there's no place you have to be where you might be exposed to smoke." desmonstrably false.
If the exercise of my rights deprives someone else of their rights, then that individual has the opportunity to seek redress or prevent me via a state mechanism -- which is far different from the state taking an active hand.
any action by the government to protect the rights of individual A from individual B abusing one of theirs is seen as "government intereference" by people of a certain political bent(-out-of-shape).
Be it something we do already (protecting privacy) or things that we should be doing like protecting little boy's right to bodily integrity (we already protect girls), or non-smokers from smokers. The people abusing their rights always see the government involvement as "evil".
Government should always take an active role in protecting rights, and the people should always take an active role in protecting rights.
laissez-faire was NEVER a good economic idea and even Adam Smith recognized that - capitalism MUST have rules otherwise it breaks down - smaller actors musth ave protection from antisocial behavior of larger actors
laissez-faire attributed to individual freedom? poor terminology. The west used to believe in the supremacy of the individual and their rights... well supposedly anyway.
We've never actually respected the rights of individuals in the west. In the united states many boys, infact 95%+, had a totally unneccesary medical proceedure performed on them in infancy which permanantly damages their genitalia (hint: circumcision, http://noharmm.org/advantage.htm ), people cannot turn on the TV and watch what they want because if the TV says/shows certain things they get fined - cannot expect people to simply change the channel from things they don't want to see and use the vchip, the non-christian has always had their liberty stomped upon in the united states and still does. People use a drug that is poisonous and directly poisons those around them totally disreguarding those people's right to control what goes into their body: when these Victims stand up for their rights the abusers whine and bitch about "their personal freedoms" being taken away (hint: smokers)
No, we've never actually respected the rights of an individual, and i'm sick and tired of the hypocracy. Especially from the Reichwing and their meddle-in-and-spy-on-everyone's-lives theofascist shit.
I'm probably going to loose even more karma for posting with that title and subject - but i'm on a karma--; roll lately.
Graphics cards innovations for the past several months/year with SLI seem to be me mostly "i have a dual SLI system!", "yeah? well i have a QUAD SLI system!" - soo much performance that is unused it's pointless. Furthermore for the price of one of these brand new cards in the article I can build a decent gaming computer or a HDTV mythTV box.
I would rather spend $600 on much more useful things that would see use right now on pricewatch the video cards at $100 are: radeon x1300 256mb agp, radeon x1600 pro 256mb pci express, radeon x800 pci express 256mb, geforce 6600 gt pci-e 256mb
yup - far to many american's first alliegence is to their political hackery and their personal whims and fears than to the country and the constitution.

you either have a corrupt.net install, a shitty power supply that cannot provide enough voltage to the card so it hangs the system while CCC is doing it's tuning checks on startup to optimize the card's behavior for your software setup, or a corrupted copy of CCC
a problem that is unique to your system tends to mean it's a a problem with YOUR SYSTEM - i have ATI cards in a dozen machines i manage and they're all stable as a rock.
it's called xterm - just put firefox on a seperate virtual desktop
it should be noted that i'm running a three headed setup one 17" CRT, a 19" CRT and a 19" DFP here at work though - i never have to take my konsoles, quanta or firefox off my screen

Sad to see that this type of person has become so much more common on slashdot these days: People who can't look at something beyond what their tiny brain can come up with after 2 seconds of thought. ....
I wouldn't assume that just because they are redesigning the default format for slashdot that they are removing the light UI option, which is much better when using a text browser.

if you think market forces are actually at play in the telecommunications sector then you're a fool - they're a zero-competition cartel
that doesn't work since there IS NO COMPETITION IN THE USA in telecommunications
I think that may be his [second] wife :D
try "Yankee Group" - /. is the second result
good point

The current RDRAM is called XDR2
Which hasn't been released yet
DDR isn't even in the same ballpark. Never was.

oh and i write games.
your system is the problem, not the drivers
no 3d? wtfh are you smoking - their binary drivers have full openGL acceleration
oh yes i'm a "bigot" because i think using text browsers in this day and age are stupid
perhaps you should go look up the definition of that word you fucking moron
there is also a wml interface i didn't know about
http://slashdot.org/slashdot.wml
the one i know of us http://slashdot.org/palm/
what are you doing in a full screen console?
it's called xterm - just put firefox on a seperate virtual desktop
it should be noted that i'm running a three headed setup one 17" CRT, a 19" CRT and a 19" DFP here at work though - i never have to take my konsoles, quanta or firefox off my screen

once again dismissing text browsers out of hand
/. meant for cellphones
read my fucking posts
if you want to use a text based only browser (stupid) use the farking version of
i knew someone was going to come up with this
ssh -L port:host:hostport
Seems you hate yourself asshat
