"And apparently it's one that both tries and convicts you for crimes of personality. This is another indicator that your "religion" is probably not too legit: Catholicism doesn't courtmarshall you for telling shitty jokes, and Christianity doesn't give a dishonorable discharge for picking your teeth in public, but Scientology will go all out - mock trial, jury and all - to bring you up on charges of sucking at comedy."
Author needs to read up on the inquisition and excommunication. The Catholic church has historically been *much* worse than Scientology.
Which gods is it you said must exist? Thor? Zeus? Ra?
Being internally consistent is not the same as being "correct." Just because the universe doesn't make sense to you doesn't mean your made-up reasons for how it works are the right ones. Remember, having answers is not the same as having *good* answers.
I am seriously suspect of demographic this book is attempting to sell to. I shall put on my list of questions to potential hiree's; have you read this book?
If the answer is yes, it's an automatic no for the job.
That would be great for both sides. I'm sure somebody with a sense of humor wouldn't want to work for an up-tight asshole.
Sounds like the do something like the free ent utility. It calculates a "randomness" of files. It can be quite useful to tell "data" from "encryption."
Because you lack vision does not mean a use does not exist. Think a furniture site that lets you build and walkthrough your home. Or Ticketmaster having a 3D representation of stadiums. I'm sure there are many other ideas as well but I'm not stupid enough to think that "if I can't think of them then they don't exist."
So your health claims can be processed in a reasonable amount of time without hiring an army of people to handle them. Amazingly computers are pretty good at 'data processing' type jobs...
Well that's just silly. If he doesn't believe in the chiropractic side of his practice why didn't he just become a physical therapist or other doctor? Why taint it by throwing in un-scientific woo?
Their effectiveness isn't necessarily the problem (though I will not say they are effective in general). It's the fact that their treatments are founded in mysticism and magic rather than science and medicine. They've sued their way into being supported by insurance companies and offer *zero* credible studies to support any of their theories.
If they happen to work for you I suggest reading up on the "placebo effect."
If they're not talking about the flow of energy then it is *not* chiropractic. And if it's not chiropractic, and it's not medicine, then they're just making it up.
Of course it's much cheaper when it's not required to be effective or studied properly. I can charge you far less to do whatever I want to your back. It may work, it may not. But that's *no* basis of proper medicine.
I would rather a proper physical therapist taking care of me than somebody who is just 'winging' it.
Chiropractors are quacks. If you have medical problems I'd suggest seeing somebody trained in medicine. Perhaps a physical therapist?
Why oh why would you trust your health to somebody who believes your problems are caused by sublexations that divert the flow of "energy" in your spine?
Sure it is. Happens all the time. They asked for a list of addresses matching their credit card numbers (or debit - the CC companies are often involved there too).
Hell, I had a client once that was part of some AMEX "rewards" program and was required to send change of address notifications to AMEX for card-holders.

Yeah, kids should be taught not to question...

That's why the FSM created encryption.
This is actually a pretty nifty idea - adds a bit of 'strangeness' to /.
I'd run xeyes on it...
You may be surprised to learn that sunshine is not constant at every point on the Earth. Thus the power-output of the panels it not constant.
They've already installed cygwin...

Why not just get a degree in a *real* medicine that specializes in soft-tissue and anatomy and then practice that?
