I object to your characterization of my comments as "bashing".

I'm pleased you found relief, but post hoc ergo propter hoc does not Science make.

I hope you'll consider reading Dr. Singh's (co-written by Dr. Ernst, former Professor of Complementary Medicine) book, Trick or Treatment.

Just to make one key point that you seem to be unclear on, the thesis isn't that symptoms such as yours can't resolve after Chiropractic treatment. The book is a survey of clinical trials and, more convincingly, meta-analysis of clinical trials.

The fact is that any number of variables changed in your life between onset and resolution. You can't draw a reliable conclusion for or against any treatment based on an anecdote.

It is also notable that Dr. Singh is not an M.D. He's a Particle Physicist. His involvement with the book isn't as a defender of the Medical establishment, but as a Scientist applying the Scientific method to try to reveal the truth about the physical world. They extensively discuss the sort of human flaws that lead us to the wrong conclusions when the Scientific Method isn't applied with adequate rigor.

Their conclusion was that properly designed, properly executed, properly controlled studies show that Chiropractic treatments aren't effective at treating this sort of problem. I am interested, as I'm sure they would be, in Scientifically valid data in your possession to the contrary.

The two claims that the article says Dr. Singh refuted were treatment of childhood asthma and colic. So the limited credit you seem to be giving Chiropractors doesn't really apply.

Like I tell my friends, if there's something wrong with your skeleton see an orthopedist!

I assume, since the article says he is a British citizen, sued under the British libel law, by the British Chiropractic Association, for an article published in The Guardian, that he was sued in an English court. And, presumably, under the English Rule.

What am I missing here?

Secretary Toure,

FYI:

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation.

Thought you should know.

Sincerely Yours,

What part of secret don't you understand? Urine trouble now!

What a disappointment. I clicked through expecting a robotic T-Rex and a giant penny.

-Peter

What phone are you talking about? I have loads of music ripped from my own CDs and purchased from Amazon on my iPhone. And I've been using a free utility to make my own ringtones for like two years.

I'm not saying that the iPhone is as open as most Android phones, but overstating your case only makes it seem like you're spreading FUD.

-Peter

I served on the Korean peninsula under Clinton. We never leave anywhere. Ever.

-Peter

Interesting point. The fact that my hearing loss is more pronounced in my right ear (due to an unfortunate incident involving a gas mask and an M-16) my play a role as well.

-Peter

Ah, but you're forgetting the Chewbacca Defense!

There must be huge variation from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4. I'm right handed and almost always hold my phone in my left hand. (I keep seeing stories that suggest that this problem affects lefties more, because they hold their phones with their left hands, but this seems backwards to me.)

I can't detect any problem with holding my phone in my left hand. I do see a substantial improvement in apparent coverage. Works reliably in my office, where my iPhone 3g was spotty at best. Voice works (but data sucks) in the basement of my office, where I had NO coverage before. I can only attribute this to the antenna redesign.

I think there must be some marginal phones out there, but it seems that there are a lot of iPhone 4s out there that are working well. And I think there's an aweful lot of hype around this problem. Maybe the lesson is that if you live by hype you can die by hype?

I commented elsewhere in this story about MDTA, but you might consider how TINY DTAs are. One strip of command adhesive would stick it to the back of the TV. Done.

The three bucks, well, I can't help with that ;-)

-Peter

First, disclaimers. I don't work for Comcast, but I do consult to them. I don't speak for Comcast in any way. I am under NDA, so I can't give you the sort of specific technical information you need. There may be any number of reasons why this thing wouldn't work in your circumstances, or why Comcast wouldn't choose to provide you one.

Having said all of that, you might want to look into the MDTA. It's the "solution" you're sure exists ;-)

It is POSSIBLE that one of these could be connected to your 1 inch (probably 850) hardline. But be aware that it doesn't mix with digital video services, though CableModems and MTAs work fine when hung off of it.

-Peter

Allow me to introduce you to the concept of "context". This is a US-based, and US-centric site. Surely you can understand this.

Here's another example from Auntie Beeb. Am I meant to gather that all women around the world can obtain contraceptives from UK National Health Service? Of course not. Context. Learn about it. Live it. Love it.

-Peter

It may also be worth noting that this is exactly the solution that no less minds than those at Google settled on. When you "print" in Google Docs, you get a PDF that you can print from the local machine's native print faculties.
