Thanks for the link. I just dropped my 5 bucks in the jar.

Goduckgo has a similar feature that works well with Google search results. It uses SSL and keeps Google/adsense from data-mining your workday procrastination.

You are correct, there is no evidence that the "miss-alignment of bones" that chiropractors "diagnose" exists. They have been shown to, at most, have similar efficacy to physiotherapists when doing the same procedures, and that's about it.

I love how readers just provided *more* testimonials in response to my comment. Seriously people, this isn't how medicine works. There are people who use the *exact same* arguments to support prayer based healing, leeching chemicals for autistic kids, WD-40 for arthritis and all sorts of Woo. Testimonials are *not* valid support for medical treatments. Put up clinical trials or go home.

Sad when a testimonial qualifies as an "insightful" evaluation of a medical treatment.

Look up the history of chiropractors. The term (and accompanying philosophy) has always been quackery.

Tabs on top makes sense. The URL bar and navigation buttons belong to a webpage. It makes no sense when changing a tab for things above *and* below it to change. Of course, if tabs were done properly in the window manager (like Fluxbox), tabs in web-browsers wouldn't be an issue.

That is a quote from WrongSizeGlass, the post that started the thread you were replying to when you suggested the power-line ethernet. So, yes, if you had read the thread before posting, we were discussing broadband here.

You can get several miles line-of sight without boosting power just by using dishes and a good home made collector. Additionally, some of the 802.11 channels are in the amateur bands, so if you get your HAM license, you can use all the power you need legally (again, ensuring you don't cause interference to other users -ie., directional only).

The power-line Ethernet you link to is a short-distance in-home consumer product (competes with ethernet or wifi, not DSL or cable internet). The municipal (long distance) power-line stuff is no better than utilizing existing phone line or cable wires to the residence. Further, it has a lot of problems not present in DSL or cable internet, such as major RF interference.

It's worth reiterating that the Canadian Armed Forces have been continuously stationed in the worst areas of Afghanistan since the beginning. Areas where larger, better equipped countries have refused to go.

I don't believe we have enough F-18's to really qualify as a squadron, not to mention they are usually distributed across the country. We do have considerable manpower and ground equipment (relative the the size of our country) and significant expertise (excellent research and training budgets).

This would also be ideal for bike-share systems like the successful Bixi in Montreal. You need the power to run the bike dock and pay station. Some of these systems (not Bixi) also rent out pre-charged e-bikes.

A fleet of electrics will easily have "ten times as many" charging stations as an equivalent gas fleet would have gas stations. Of course, most charging stations cost $1k and would be located in the car's overnight parking location (garage, corporate lot, etc.) Gas stations cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and require at least one staff whenever operational. There's no problem replacing one gas station with ten charging stations. Public stations like this would likely be used when an extra charge is needed, not every day (traveling, shopping, etc.).

brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

People also forget about that massive road and highway network connecting every little town and city in their country. They also forget that people used to die regularly from unsanitary drinking water in cities. How about providing schools and education for millions people? Governments don't build anything, bull shit.
