A single person can only work on small problems? It's been my experience that this works for large problems as well (and is best). Many state that due to distributed computing it is impossible for a single person to have knowledge of or work all stacks...hogwash! Frameworks and code generation make this possible...plus some damn experience actually building things...in production environments...and not just being out of school. We seem to have pushed out these senior leaders though. I don't even believe it's due to cost...merely that senior (in the true sense of the word) engineers are less likely to put up with shenanigans, lack of design/architecture, agile/sigma6, etc. We don't want engineers getting too big for their britches do we? Then they might ask for a salary they deserve...instead of merely $40K more than a grunt.

Also from the wiki: "Chiropractic is well established in the U.S., Canada and Australia. Throughout its history it has been controversial"...massage and phys. therapy sure aren't questioned by established medicine. You need to write a bit clearer.

You state "Chiropractic treatment (massage therapy and physical therapy)". From the wiki link: "D.D. Palmer founded chiropractic". DD sure as hell didn't invent massage or phys. therapy dude...a straight up spine cracker.

How many irrational/unscientific thinkers there are on slashdot. Chiro is a recent scam from past 100 years or so, completely unlike accupuncture/pressure which also rely on placebo affect (or perhaps not...jury still out). At least accu* has 100s of years of history behind it...not some boozing charlatan who made all his money off of chiro schools and engaged in water dowsing/etc. Go see a massage therapist for less $$ and a better result. Google is your friend on the chiro issue.

Massage therapy and physical therapy are NOT considered chiropractic treatment. Chiro means spine cracking. You are referring to chiros who now see the light of day (i.e. science) and are branching into more ways they can make $$$. It's called the placebo affect.

Bow down to my assembly prowess!!! Merlin and BigMac were the bomb! The geekiest freaking thing I ever wrote...sold at SDSU AppleCorps user group meetings...I think I made a whole couple hundred dollars off that thing. Fond memories of getting up at 5:00am to get to my H.S. business lab where a kind old lady got in early due to her husband's defense dept job. A whole 2.5 hours to hack before Calculus class...which I would sleep thru. Until the arrival of the Apple ][ (no floating point yet) my mom and neighbor buddy used to drag me out of bed minutes before class...my mom was worried about the 'new behaviour' of getting up early and actually thought I may be doing drugs or something...in a way I was "addicted".

You are at best uninformed and extremely hostile. Having problems installing linux huh?

Quit getting your information from Fox news and start checking out sites like the BBC and Al-Jazeera...or better yet read "The Shadow Factory" by James Bamford...the writer who broke the story about the existence of the NSA.

He painfully details the COMPLETE monitoring of all domestic and international landline, voip, sms/mms and e-mail communications...and all references are sourced by actual newspaper articles, journals or conference talks.

I know what you're going to say next...that you have nothing to hide. While I'm sure the feds could care less that you bought nunchakus over the web, once this monitoring capability trickles down to the state and local level this will be a valid concern.

Say you're a lawyer...forget about client-confidentality. Running for AG? Well the current attorney general will spy on you and get dirt on your affairs, pot consumption or whatever else he can use to KEEP HIMSELF IN POWER.

Local police will be free to use the same systems to keep cities in check, etc.

Due to the complexities of current laws (CA are you listening?) the average citizen commits several felonies a year without realizing it.

Your arguments are horseshit...
