- So you're ok with trampling personal rights and freedoms as long as those damn smokers get it first? - Stephen Sep 23, 14:24 16
  - seems like whenever you talk about something that would piss off a big political lobby it means higher taxes for everyone - stewie Sep 23, 14:31
  - I don't think taxing smokers is the way you generate revenue. I think it's a way to price people out of smoking. - Redmond Sep 23, 14:29
  - if other people's smoking didn't (a) affect my health and (b) affect my enjoyment of public places i wouldn't care. - Andie Sep 23, 14:26 6
    - And how does someone smoking in their car (which is where this discussion started) affect your health or your enjoyment of public spaces? -- nm - Stephen Sep 23, 14:28 5

        reading thoose symptoms i think it's not ONLY smoking that couses the discomfort -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 14:39
        
        I never get why people driving alone would smoke with the window open. Why not keep the smoke inside and get a real bang for your buck. - Redmond Sep 23, 14:36
      - It's less about people smoking in their car, and more about the companies right to ban it on their property. - Redmond Sep 23, 14:31
      - in their car, in their house, no, i would never complain, but this veered off into a 'personal rights' tangent that i had to comment on. -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 14:29

        turning on the engine will give many times more brathing problems - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 14:28 2

Doh. Flaw reveals source code to over 3300 popular websites -- (link) - oblique Sep 23, 14:12 8
- That's ... pretty big. Doesn't affect ST, though, I don't think. The .svn folders are not part of the rollout procedure. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 14:15
- Right click. View Page Source? -- nm - Qale Sep 23, 14:14 6
  - No, that's HTML code, not source code. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 14:15 5
    - That's still source code, it's just not the really dangerous stuff. -- nm - Ender Sep 23, 14:19 1
      - it's HTML source. It's like saying ... you can marvel at the hallway art of the Death Star, or you can gain covert access to the blueprints. - Beryllium Sep 23, 14:22
    - Like access to the file tree? -- nm - Qale Sep 23, 14:16 2
      - access to the actual code (and, probably, some passwords) that control the site ... and proprietary logic -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 14:18 1

- thats why it asks -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 14:04
- I did that on an entire public folder of HR resumes once - oblique Sep 23, 14:04 1
  - Yeah, it's all stuff I have other places, but still... -- nm - Inigo Sep 23, 14:07
Redmond, et al. i'm all for setting up designated smoking areas away from fronts of buildings, but when it gets to the point of firing someone for - Stephen Sep 23, 14:01 36

    - I always felt enormously guilty when children saw me smoking. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 23, 14:17 1
      - No problem. Just cough and wheeze when you see them walk by. :-P -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 14:18
    - you have cars in a school playground? - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 14:15
    - first off, if their car is in a library, there are more pressing matter than whether or not one is smoking... -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 14:14 3
      - it's the US everything is bigger there - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 14:16 2
        
        it's good to see occasionally how little of what i type is taken as its intended. as a humbling reminder. - TFox Sep 23, 14:18 1
        
        intent, facial expression and tone of voice come as good over here as having a iPhone in SanFran - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 14:22
- there's a difference here between public laws and private company policies - con_carne Sep 23, 14:08 22
  - personal rights trump both in this scenario, generally speaking. - znufrii Sep 23, 14:18 18
    - I think you mean libertarian. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 23, 14:21 17
      - which is the logical extreme of the spectrum of conservative thought, yes. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 14:23 16
        
        Not really. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 14:25 11
        
        This assumes Bush = conservative, which very few (even GOP'ers) will argue. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 23, 14:28 6
        
        Forget Bush....it's the entirety of the party structure. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 14:30 2
        
        Dude. Nobody was arguing GOP = libertarianism. Dial it back. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 23, 14:33 1
        
        Do you agree the GOP in the last 20 years has gotten more conservative? - Will Hunting Sep 23, 14:35
        
        yes NOW....back then they did not see a problem -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 14:29
        
        even most of the GOP doesn't fall anywhere near the conservative polar extreme. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 14:29
        
        He sure as hell wasn't a liberal. -- nm - BB Sep 23, 14:29
        
        well, you're talking more about the GOP than you are about conservativism, then. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 14:27 3
        
        Conservatism is tiny change, liberalism is seismic change..... - Will Hunting Sep 23, 14:29 2
        
        not surprisingly, you define it completely differently than I do. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 14:31 1
        
        Even if I define it as you are willing to; you're not correct. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 14:33
        
        to my thinking, at least. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 14:24 3
        
        Actually, I think we agree. - Dr.Vermin Sep 23, 14:29 2
        
        I doubt 10% of people who throw around the word "fascist" actually knows what it means -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 14:32
        
        Too bad it's sorta wrong. - Will Hunting Sep 23, 14:32
  - "Whatever" they want? - Stephen Sep 23, 14:15 1
    - Touche, my friend -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 14:16
  - Yeah, that's why I don't get his hatey of the policy. Private property rights, yet he wants to make the courts force them to let people smoke on - Redmond Sep 23, 14:10
- I wonder how much they save on health insurance premiums because of it, though. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 14:08
- I concur with Stephen - Epiphany Sep 23, 14:08
- Park off of the private property. I have no problem with it. - Redmond Sep 23, 14:08
- but that car is still on the employer's property. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 14:05
ST is wise: Whistle blower situation inside - ceregon Sep 23, 13:59 9
- That's above pay grade for you. Take it to those people cuz it's known now and that is on your head if it comes to light. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 23, 14:28
- I'd say it's above your pay grade. Take it to your boss. -- nm - Ender Sep 23, 14:15
- Whoever signs the signature on the thing, saying the info is legit. They need to know. Your boss is also a good option. -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 14:12
- Yeah, you gotta tell. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 23, 14:08
- I'd talk to the dean or president for sure. Now that you've noticed it, it's on you if you say nothing, even if you didn't prepare it. -- nm - TFox Sep 23, 14:07 1
  - ditto -- nm - peglegpete Sep 23, 14:08

- and, you can delete your tag on any photo you want. -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 14:01 3
  - really? hmmmm how? -- nm - CQ Sep 23, 14:02 2
    - you have to do it one at a time - just go to the pic, there's a 'delete tag' click there somewhere... -- nm - Andie Sep 23, 14:03 1
      - awesome, thank you Andie (you the bestest) -- nm - CQ Sep 23, 14:10
- You can't, but you can prevent the notifications from appearing on your wall/news feed -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 13:56 7
  - Hm, there has to be a way. But, looks like he can fix it so that only he sees photos where he is tagged - con_carne Sep 23, 14:02 2
    - That's the setting I was talking about. You can untag yourself from any photo but you can't prevent someone from tagging their own photo in the first - oblique Sep 23, 14:03 1
      - Hm. I was adding because it seems there is a difference between notifications of a thing happening, and the thing happening *shrug* -- nm - con_carne Sep 23, 14:15
  - Another question - I accidentally hid someone from my news feed when I was getting started. Can I restore this friend to the news feed? -- nm - Diva Sep 23, 14:00 2
    - Yes. Bottom of page, hit "Edit Options" -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 14:01 1

  - yeah, I deleted that. damn filthy apes -- nm - CQ Sep 23, 13:58

  - Time majorly wussed out by picking Guiliani over OBL. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 14:18
- Holy cow - BB Sep 23, 14:01 2
  - it's only worth about that now -- nm - Epiphany Sep 23, 14:07 1

- That would cure lung cancer -- nm - Redmond Sep 23, 13:46 5
  - And bankrupt many a state -- nm - Stephen Sep 23, 13:47 4
    - tax the cars and the gas then -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 14:07 1
      - um, they do that already. nm -- nm - dr groiny Sep 23, 14:23
    - they could then tax the shit out of the drunks. nm -- nm - dr groiny Sep 23, 13:48 1

- It's not that something's wrong with it. I think it's kind of ugly. -- nm - mara Sep 23, 14:15 3
  - it's not fleshy enough for me. it's like a bunch of shoeboxes. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 14:20 2
    - That's a pretty good summation of why Picasso doesn't do much for me. I get what he's going for, it just has no impact for me. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 14:22 1
      - like many works of art, I appreciate it but don't especially like it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 14:28
- nothing wrong with it. I just don't like the overall look. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 14:01
- it's not the painting -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 23, 13:52
- See, here's my other one. Not everyone will like this either. -- (link) - TFox Sep 23, 13:51 4
  - I like that one. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 14:01
  - love it. -- nm - znufrii Sep 23, 13:58

- It isn't exactly abstract, just isoscelized and it still looks like boobies and pregnant ladies -- nm - oblique Sep 23, 13:47 3
  - Bah, I guess the human body is shameful - con_carne Sep 23, 13:55 2
    - I like nudes, just don't care for that one. -- nm - loosilu Sep 23, 14:10

- he can be a punny guy at times -- nm - crash davis Sep 23, 13:49
One in three Mexicans would migrate to the United States if they had the chance, a survey released on Wednesday showed. (link). -- (link) - Walt_Disney Sep 23, 13:43 9
- And 4 of 5 Canadians would move to Mexico if they had the chance. - Redmond Sep 23, 13:45 8
  - grap no. Going to mexico is now the third leading cause of death for Canadians. -- nm - Reagen Sep 23, 13:48 5
