You call bullshit on something you know nothing about, and back it up with an article that cites a member of the British Chiropractic Association as if they were an authority rather than (as has been legally proven) a bunch of quacks and charlatans..
No such thing has been proven. If you're going to try to be scientific, at least be consistent about it.
No less than a Cochrane meta-analysis has concluded acupuncture to be as effective as drugs for post operative nausea and vomiting. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19370583

Intel dumped MeeGo at the same time they started Tizen with Samsung.
Jolla are the folks who designed the awesome N9. For merely keeping MeeGo going we should be throwing money at them but I hope they can sort the business end of it too.
Huh? N9 possibly still the best smartphone ever made. N900: absolutely nothing in its class because the N950 was never released. Nokia 808 Pureview: can't stop people raving about the camera.
Nokia was on a downturn that wasn't going to reverse any time soon. It's possible they panicked.
It's hard to see them making much money out of it but to suggest their phones were inferior sounds like Elop-think.
Unfortunately they didn't have a platform other than MeeGo, and I get the feeling they figured it was going to fail without a backing of developers.
I'm not sure we'll ever know. Maybe MS made them an offer they couldn't refuse. Maybe Elop is a trojan horse. Maybe they just panicked.
And they could have simply run Android apps on top of the wonderful Meego using ACL or Alien Dalvik.
Hitler got an Enabling Act passed to give him absolute power in the event of a minor emergency. He burned down the Reichstag and the rest is history.
Blair copied it.
It's Part 2 of the Civil Contingencies Act
There's also:
Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act -- dubbed Abolition of Parliament Act by the media as it could do this abolition without debate in Parliament. Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act -- unlimited internet surveillance (recent internet surveillance attempts have just been about getting the ISP to pay for data storage). Also made it illegal for you to not hand over your private key even if you forgot it (latter repealed by coalition). Serious Crime Act -- actually passed by Brown. This isn't even thoughtcrime punishment. Get this: even if no crime is committed or even thought about you can still be punished (banishment etc) for inadvertently being in a position to facilitate a crime. It's like Wrong Place Wrong Time, only it's Wrong Place All The Time. Identity Cards Act -- forcing anyone who wanted a passport to submit to iris scanning and fingerprinting, along with giving their bank details. Creation of a Stasi 2.0 database with records for every single adult in the country.
There are many many other totalitarian laws, including numerous 'anti-terror' and 'police' acts that allowed random stop and search, kicking your door in without a warrant, taking your DNA upon spurious arrest and banning protest within a mile of Parliament.
Blair had two people locked up for reading out the names of the Iraqi dead at the Cenotaph. Brown, not to be outdone, passed the aforementioned Serious Crime Act and had Shadow Minister Damian Green arrested for doing his job.
It's not like the UK is China or anything, but are you free to have a Nazi party? Do you have an active KKK group?
We have 2 nazi parties: the BNP and the EDL. KKK would be legal but (and this is where the line is), hate speech is illegal. Specifically, incitement of hatred against race or religion.
It really shouldn't be a slippery slope but this is what the original article is about.
NuLabour wrote laws such that almost anything was a criminal offence. Teenage kissing is f***ing illegal.
I'm not a Tory or even a LibDem but are you oblivious to Blair's totalitarian laws?
Civil Contingencies Act Schedule 2 is the same as Hitler's Enabling Act by which he gained absolute power. In the event o a minor emergency, absolute power can be claimed by ministers. Legislative and Regulatory Reform Act, dubbed Abolition of Parliament Act by the media as it could do that without debate in Parliament. Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act -- unlimited internet surveillance (recent internet surveillance attempts have just been about getting the ISP to pay for data storage). Also made it illegal for you to not hand over your private key even if you forgot it (latter repealed by coalition). Serious Crime Act -- actually passed by Brown.

There are many many others.
Blair had two people locked up for reading out the names of the Iraqi dead at the Cenotaph. Brown, not to be outdone, had Shadow Minister Damian Green arrested for doing his job.
On the other hand, in order to eliminate variables and attempt the holy grail of double-blind testing, treatments are dumbed down into near uselessness.
Thus the interventions which are getting recognised by science are those which are ultra-simple: EMDR and CBT.
Of course, it's impossible to do any skilled face-to-face intervention as a double-blind experiment. When the scientific community recognises this, we'll be comparing therapy to therapy, or even therapist to therapist.
First episode of Veep was awful compared to The Thick of It. Didn't bother watching the rest.
Also, US portrayal of the English is beyond weird. If I stated as fact that every American is exactly the same as that fat bloke in Caddyshack, there are at least Americans like that. There aren't any English people like those portrayed in US programmes.

No such thing has been proven. If you're going to try to be scientific, at least be consistent about it.
Yet to try it out though.
... for at least one thing.
No less than a Cochrane meta-analysis has concluded acupuncture to be as effective as drugs for post operative nausea and vomiting.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19370583
For the patient to get better, they have to want to change
Who doesn't want to change/get better? They just might not want to do it in the therapist's particular way. You were right to argue.
"I see. But when I take a antibiotic, it either works or it doesn't. My belief or desire for it to work is irrelevant."
Not true -- belief in drugs is part of placebo which has significant even when you have a medical explanation.

Even if they're competitive with the last generation of ARM on energy-efficiency, they aren't competitive in cost-efficiency.
Secondly, you don't get the flexibility of being in charge of the fabrication process.
The only real advantage of Intel is running Windows proper which means the netbook market or possibly the tablet market.
Intel dumped MeeGo at the same time they started Tizen with Samsung.
Jolla are the folks who designed the awesome N9. For merely keeping MeeGo going we should be throwing money at them but I hope they can sort the business end of it too.
Nokia smartphones were inferior
Huh? N9 possibly still the best smartphone ever made. N900: absolutely nothing in its class because the N950 was never released. Nokia 808 Pureview: can't stop people raving about the camera.

And they could have simply run Android apps on top of the wonderful Meego using ACL or Alien Dalvik.
They had easily the best phone OS available: MeeGo. And they dropped it.
We got rid of him. The law is still there waiting for someone to invoke it, as easily verified
"Emergency regulations may make provision of any kind that could be made by Act of Parliament or by the exercise of the Royal Prerogative;"
ie unlimited power.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/36/section/22
Seem to remember this was a clause in Hotmail's T&C about 10 years ago.

Britain went beyond criminalising thoughtcrime.
If you are inadvertently in a position which might aid a theoretical crime, you can be banished from that part of the country.

Clearly, you're a brainwashed Labour crony who can't even acknowledge that what I wrote is fact.
Furthermore all these laws are still on the statute book and the perilous state of Britain's constitution needs to be public knowledge.
Women tend to exceed even men.

Nokia will die slowly, but most of their MeeGo talent started up Jolla to bring us MeeGo, Qt 5, some HTML and a new UI.
The Meltemi development office was closed and various ex-Nokia employees confirmed it.
The best rumour I heard is that Elop was drafted to slow the downtrend in Nokia's share price -- so that major investors could get out.
Guaranteed 2 million sales and they couldn't even be bothered to release it.
What the heck is MCAP? Surely they're not using a sample where 80.657% are 'psychopaths'?
As a psychotherapist, I can say "spot on".
On the other hand, in order to eliminate variables and attempt the holy grail of double-blind testing, treatments are dumbed down into near uselessness.
