Oh I'm sorry, did your little eyes "unfocus" (and you called me incoherent, that's not even a word)? Where did you get the sense that general tax dollars are spent on treating smokers illnesses? Are you saying that smokers never have insurance? That's a pretty bold statement to think that smokers that are sick never have their own insurance, isn't it? Never mind that most would have their own health care (about 16% of Americans are uninsured), it's tax dollars paying for it all according to you. Really? Is that the response you're going with?
On top of it all are the millions the tobacco manufacturers pay to the feds to treat tobacco related illness or the taxes that keep getting bumped up and up and tobacco products. But you're paying that too right???
There is a lot of things that are unfair and we could take care of, but you want to focus on one and think everyone should follow you. Is that really showing "civil conduct" towards others that might not feel the same about this issue? You sound like you would like every aspect of a persons life monitored so that they don't hurt themselves or others. You can get that REAL easy. Move to a different country. Problem solved!
But really it has nothing to do with RTFA or what the topic was about, which was nicotine vaporizers that DON'T put cancer causing chemicals in to the air. But that's too much for you to right? Keep wanting it one way or no way and see where that gets you. Civil conduct you know?
Started testing this like a week ago? Really how hard would it be to mount a jet engine and start tossing different amounts of ash in to it in varying concentrations. Really odd that they all seem to be gazing at the ash cloud dumbfounded by it.
Good for something to point to when I hear a European going on about how great Europe is though.
See isn't the story more creditable now? Oooh look!!! British supermodels boobs could explode if she goes diving with hubby!! You just don't get that level of journalism in "The Star"!
My points are real easy, but you had to resort to the " you're typing in a blind rage!! calm down cause I scare easily" line.
Point one being that WE ALL have to put up with people that are not quite our cup of tea and in a lot of cases they might do something that might effect us in all kinds of ways. It's called life Chippy, get used to it.
My other point was that you seem to be one that falls for the "well because people do this and are sick from it, we have to charge more to insure you" line that the insurance companies spout to try and justify their constant raising of their rates, yet we are healthier now in this country then we have ever been. So if we are healthier now then why do premiums go up and up? It's a scam, that's why. They also use the one where they say "we need to charge more cause people are living longer" but it's not like they insure for free beyond a certain age. So if a person lives longer, then they also pay premiums longer.
Like I said, I even have to put up with you who chooses to go on whatever the last news show you watched on TV told you how you should feel, and then post in a sarky little comment.
It's call living in the USA asshat. I can be equally put off by a sprout eating, pirus driving, thinking he is holier then all d-bag like yourself. But I still have to put up with you trying to ram down my throat what the local health food store told you was healthy. Now go "detoxify" and get your high colonic and bitch more about peoples health issues that you really don't pay for other then thinking that because the health care industry has you just as fooled as the "health" food store guy. Do you wear legging too so it is obvious to all the you're a sheep spoon fed what to think?
So how is that different then what states are already offering? Other then conglomerating in all in to one, which I would think would give you one point of failure if something goes wrong with the system/ID/RFID etc. etc., how is it really different? I'm not really pressed for space in my wallet that much. So it boils down to a system that has been shown time and time again to not really protect anyone any more then what is in place already, will cost more, is a common point of failure if something happens and would be run by the feds instead of the state. The state is mismanaged enough, forget having to deal with a far distant and far less caring (if possible) federal government.
I think I'll pass on that.
It's a roll call of supporters that stand to lose the most from foreign "hackers" that don't conform to their EULA doctrine. Great idea, lets police other countries even more and spread real law enforcement dollars even more thin while enforcing patient right of companies so they can make their bottom lines a little more appealing. This is what happens when you have analysis's that do the "we are potentially losing X amount of dollars because of pirating and hacking".
Most federal programs run SO smooth its no wonder that they would like to take some of the burden off the states as to give us all the sense of safety a national ID would give you and to have it all at the federal level? Bonus!
Nice to see we have many on here ready to curl up in a ball and take whatever beatings the federal government hands out like they were back in high school taking beatings from a bully. Acceptance of your new evil overloads indeed.
there is with the construction of iPhones that make them a little less suspect to different water damage. I spilled a coke on mine with no ill effects, but have done similar to others with no such luck. Might just be how all new smartphones are being made. My mom dunked a phone that killed it but didn't change the stickers color inside. Was kind of amazed it didn't considering she said it was in there for a little bit before she realized where it was. Verizon replaced it free since they thought it just died. That was a samsung I think.
I'm no expert but from what I have seen in dealing with (manufacturer of parts for) similar fuel cell technology that also uses methane is that they struggle to reach even 50% efficiency from parts used of methane. 40% is the norm. Most times the only reason a company is using it is because of subsidies that the government gives them from using such a "green" technology. So maybe if you include government handouts it might be cost effective at some of the outlandish prices I have seen on these units.
Yeah I have gotten the "Your representative doesn't really check this e-mail address, but if you want to review and resubmit your e-mail, do it here". Pretty much a sand in the ointment that probably weeds out the majority of people that don't want to spend more time sending the e-mail again. Funny too when I wanted to make sure something was read I sent it snail mail and still got a form letter in the mail saying "Rep. So&So tries to take the time to read each response he/she gets in the mail, but sometimes doesn't get to read them all. But rest assured that someone in his office has/will read your letter and pass on any "pertinent" info along to said rep.
Whenever I get that it's a automatic no vote for that candidate.
Cool. Then we get to go through the black hole, fall in love with a slave girl, save her society from the god Ra and live out our days in peace on a far away planet? So what are we waiting for? Lets fire this puppy up full throttle!
Well considering the actual cost per kb that any mobile provider charges, I can pretty much say with certainty that it will be a hurdle that will be overcome. With the going rates for data from any wireless provider, they would sell their first born to keep that over charging cash cow going.
Hard to understand why the writer didn't just compare it to another Hybrid. Ford's Hybrid Fusion I think is the most impressive Hybrid for what you get for your dollar and the performance of the vehicle (also doesn't feel like a tin can). It starts and $27,270 and is closer to the Volt. Heck the Camry would have been closer to the Volt. The two Stipulations as to why he picked the Corolla don't really seem to make sense when there are dozens of models that would have been a closer match.

Wait Wait Wait man........ That picture is the cover for a 1977 Parliament-Funkadelic album, isn't it man?!!! Far out man! On two levels!

with the "macabre trophy" comment kicking it goth style! I'm going to go smoke cigarettes now and contemplate watching "the hunger"
It's the next racket reminiscent of "The War on Drugs" that never ends and sucks money like vacuum cleaner.

But does it beat THIS!?.

C-A-T really spelled DOG?
How about a comparison between Radiation levels and reception power of the phone so we can see if the trade off is worth having lees dropped call?

Yea I watched that too. The whole time I was thinking "I guess actual interaction with the kids was overrated?"
Nothing like using technology to make ones job performance even worse.
WOW who was the idiot that didn't see any possible legal ramifications in doing this? In a public school no less.
If I didn't RTFA I would have said "dam private school"!
he runs away and hides with crazy cave-people who drink their own piss
Bear Grylls is in it?
Cool. Then we get to go through the black hole, fall in love with a slave girl, save her society from the god Ra and live out our days in peace on a far away planet? So what are we waiting for? Lets fire this puppy up full throttle!
You forgot the "indubitably" at the end there, Mr. Smith from Lost in space.
