In fact, I agree with other posters that it's infinitely more valuable to have somebody that doesn't claim to know everything, but rather has an idea and knows where to look for it.
Thats all I really have in this life.

Ok, so when you go to the doctor, what questions do you ask? Try these:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=01/05/28/13022 6&threshold=0&commentsort=0&mode=thread&cid=284
What follows is the best advice you will get on pain management:
1)Food allergy: avoid the nightshade family of vegetables, the peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, paprika, chili, cayenne, red pepper, curry. Do this for at least 6 months. This is harder to do than it sounds as these are common ingredients in most prepared foods. You can find this advice in most books on pain management in your local library.
2)Pain can be an essential fatty acid deficiency. This can be verified with tests but it is easy to supplement. The two major types are omega 6 and omega 3. Use flax and fish oil to correct. Typical symptom here besides pain is poor skin condition.
3)Magnesium deficiency. Should be checked with a rbc mineral assay by physician. Don't want to test? Supplement with 200-400 mg, 1-3x per day. The best is magnesium chloride %18 solution.
4)Pain medicine. Thats right, common pain medications cause pain by damaging the digestive tract which causes anitbody complexes to get into the bloodstream which the body then attacks with glee, but also attack the body, particularly the joins so you get pain.
5)Repair damaged digestive tract(see #4). Take glutamine, whole whey, probiotics(cultured yougurt). Can be caused by a buch of things so don't think it doesn't apply to you.
6)Multiple nutritional deficiencies, crappy diet, blah, blah, blah.
7)Heavy metal poisoning from suspect dental practices ie. mercury amalgam fillings and arsenical compounds used as antibiotics. Don't believe it? You'd better buddy boy.
8)Food and inhalant allergy. See an allergist that uses serial endpoint titration. They are not all that common.
9)Exposure to pesticides and other chemicals. Blah, blah, blah...heard it all before... the sky is falling, the sky is falling! Its just that when you look up at the sky, your back goes out.
I've seen programmer guys I've worked with, smart people, end up almost dead in the hospital because they had no clue on how to deal with painful symptoms when they occured. Seems that the total geek braintrust for dealing with pain is to take two Tylenols and hope for the best. For those interested you should go to http://www.prestigepublishing.com/soft7.htm and order everybook in sight and learn something.
You should also go to www.prwatch.com and see what is really going on with health related issues...as reported on CSPAN2.
The sad thing is it takes getting really sick for most Americans to find out how really crappy our medical system is. Don't let that happen to you. Forewarned is forearmed.
"unless running as a hobby"
Exactly. I'm running all the services that an ISP would normally provde from machines in my bedroom with the exception of the actual hookup. The full service ISP model will be replaced by the "hookup ISP" model in the future. Successful ISP's will be able to enable their customers to do it all on their own without getting involved in trying to provide services that fall short of people's expectations. The money to be made is in supplying the actual connection and letting the user go from there.
In a job hunt a few months ago, I responded to an ad for a web programmer. It sounded neat: All I had to do was help develop three types of websites that would then be sold to customers who could then customize the website as they wanted. Basically an ecommerice business in a box. Only thing is, one of the types of e-business' to be developed was an online porn site. At that point I declined and went about my business. If this trend continues, I can see that there would be a proliferation of online sex websites, driven by the prospect of quick profits as this developer goes around selling pre-packages pornsites to whatever idiot he can con into doing it. Definitley an example of how technology can be abused.
I am in the process of distancing my website www.52ndstreet.net from Microsoft's passport site where it previously resided. They sure don't make this easy though as there is no mechanism for deleting an account. To remove your email/website account you must not logon for 90 days after which they will delete the account for you. There seems to be a contradiction here over the stated business goals of MS. On one hand they say that they are a commercial OS/software company. Ok, I accept that. But what is all of this non commercial stuff with passport, communities, MSN etc. This stuff is distictly consumer entertainment in nature and could best serve Microsoft in a public relations role. Someone has sabotaged the public relations benefits of passport by creating a threatening and unfriendly mood associated with the services. I certainly noticed a tilt in this direction some time ago in their conscious decision to present content full of sexual references. That is the most hard core business marketing ever devised and hardly appeals to me. Its not "fun", or "friendly", just creepy. By MS's efforts to continually redefine MSN its obvious that strategy hasn't panned out. So what is the motivation behind these obviously desperate attempts to make an inherently unprofitable venture show a measure of profit on some accountants ledger? Is some group of executives within Microsoft trying to justify their high salaries on a flawed marketing strategy? The whole MSN experience, given Microsoft's commercial business strategy, can be no more than a public relations ploy, nothing more. It should be used to encourage MS customers to stay on the MS boat; a cheerleading effort. The decision to cancel my email and web account came after it became obvious that this continual effort to squeeze blood from a rock could have a signifigant impact on my personal intellectual property and security. Will Microsoft bring a subscription model to MSN? I have developed the capability to duplicate some of MSN's funtionality by deploying my own services. Things that I have not been able to develop on my own I have found elsewhere on the web by people, like me, who offer those services at no cost because they simply want to and are not driven to do crazy things to show a profit. Its pretty obvious from my standpoint that Linux offers most of the benefits of Microsoft products at greatly reduced cost(example, firewall masquerading on a thrownaway 486 with linux, not possible with MS products). Given that both OS's require time and effort in their deployment, I'll elect not to pay reoccuring fees for services that can be adequately provided by Linux or other computer entheusiasts over the internet.
P.S.P.S.P.S.P.S.P.S.P.S.P.S. Looking at a headline from MSN "Can your name hurt you?" Is it really a MS corportate aim to sow hate and mistrust among the public? Thats just freeking creepy.
Take all of your friends by the hand to the voting booth next election and cast your votes. Thats how its done my boy. Couldn't be more simple. No reason to get the screaming heebee jeebee's. Really.
