I go to a chiropractor for neck & back issues. I typically go once or twice a month, though I haven't been for a couple of months due to working extra jobs. It does wonders for getting kinks out & un-pinching nerves. I have some trouble spots that feel much better after an adjustment. I think where chiropractic gets into trouble is with some of their other claims, like helping allergies, etc. I have allergies too, and as far as I can tell, chiropractic has never done anything to help them. I think they should stick to the neck & back claims, because really that should be enough.

To patent and then just openly license? It would prevent others from trying to sue then if their patents were already established, rather than having to go through the process of fighting off a patent troll and attempting to establish prior art.

I have an office pool, and I'm currently 15/16 (though soon to be 15/17 if Mercer pulls the upset). Unfortunately, I decided to get a little cute in the Billion Dollar Brackets and pick WMU to take Syracuse, and Ohio State to beat Dayton. :-/

But is it really theft if they didn't actually "take" it? If you're at the store, and you take a jar of peanut butter and later place it on the shelf of the produce aisle, did you shoplift?

Nate Silver is already out of the running. He picked Ohio State and has them going to the Sweet 16.

Is that what they're calling cooks these days?

Great to post this now, since the deadline for entering was 3/20/2014 @ 1 AM. :-/

Well, this comes to mind. Why cover up the data? Maybe he was cleared of all wrong-doing, but this was one of the first hits when I searched for "Global Warming Fraud".

This is exactly why I didn't upgrade to iOS 7 when it came out. I had heard that Apple invalidated the checksum for iOS 6 so you couldn't install it from a backup in case you needed to restore your phone after upgrading. My iPhone 4 worked rock-solid with iOS 6, but I had heard iOS 7 had extremely bad performance on it.

Since iOS 7.2 was recently released and supposedly offered better performance on the iPhone 4, I decided to roll the dice and install it. No problems so far over the past week (fingers crossed). The only issue I had was Numbers got updated automatically, now making that version incompatible with the version on my iMac running Mountain Lion, so I was basically forced to upgrade that to Mavericks just so I could open spreadsheets on both. Thankfully, the upgrade to Mavericks was pretty smooth too, and my computer actually seems to be running better. That used to be the case with OS X up until the change from Snow Leopard to Lion.

Or maybe the guy is just experiencing some self-doubt, and needs some encouragement from others who have faced similar challenges and prevailed.

We usually don't watch a series until it's complete (The Tudors), or if we decide we want to start watching a series that's currently playing (e.x. Breaking Bad & Walking Dead), and we need to catch up. Then we can binge watch it for several hours a night for about a week straight. Other times, we won't watch it for weeks at a time.

What it comes down to is that if words don't have meaning, then the entire point of having a Constitution to limit the power of government is meaningless. Also, the meaning of those words you ascribe as vague had very clear meanings when written, and were never intended to be used as they are today.

And that has stopped them from doing these things when exactly? Ignoramuses will point to the Interstate Commerce clause, which was specifically put in place to prevent one state from interfering with the commerce of another state (i.e. New York imposing a levy on goods moving from Pennsylvania through New York to Massachusetts, etc.), not the way the SCOTUS has "interpreted" it.

I'm not a robber, but if I was, I'm pretty sure that if I was going to rob someone, I'm going to take their phone regardless of whether it can be bricked or not simply to reduce the likelihood of them calling the cops. In essence, it won't prevent the theft of phones, it will merely prevent the thieves from reselling them. Why not a remote kill switch for Rolexes?

Yeah, right. What they want to do is be able to shut down everyone's line of communications just in case the hoi polloi get too uppity.
