I would like to second this. My father has this condition and he does hydrotherapy every week. Essentially exercises in the water. He has been able to stop taking medication and his quality of life has drastically improved.

Isn't this already what private companies are doing? Google and Facebook especially have the ability to create huge profiles about your life and activities. They could almost certainly make highly productive models on people's act

I feel you are completely overlooking all of the costs the business incurs. The cost of premises, printing costs, image licensing, insurance, marketing budget etc etc.

The US system allows one party to freeze out another for periods of time due to control of different chambers. There were government shut downs under Obama.. I think that shows how terrible the US system is at the moment. Other countries li

I experience the same thing in the UK. I rarely go to the doctor. Perhaps once a year if that. If I go it is because something hasn't gotten better after a number of weeks, I am unsure about something or genuinely uncomfortable. The do

It is not false reasoning. She is relating to her specific experiences. Where I work 80-90% of applications are from men. We now have 2 women on our team but it is still male dominated. The women are there because they were best we could fi

I don't agree with this either. I am in my thirties now and still stutter but I have made huge progress in the past 5 years. In the past stuttering was a huge part my life. Now, while I stutter from time to time my self confidence mean

The problem with this line is 'gnaw' is actually a word. I find it very difficult to look past what is actually written and try to convert a correctly spelled word into something else.

The scary thing is how easily people are swayed by blatant lies. Britain has been let down twice recently. Both times it was the quality of the debate around the referendums. For the voting system a lie was spread about how it isn't fa

What is insane? Windows 7 is 8 years old. Windows 8 is 5 years old. Microsoft is still providing security fixes for what are essentially now legacy platforms. There has to be a cost in supporting these new processors. Windows runs on almost

The thing is I don't want to carry multiple devices or have tonnes of things plugged into my tv. I want to turn on a device and watch Netflix or YouTube. I also got the WiiU late on a whim and it wasn't a good purchase. The switch

I mostly agree with what you have pointed out. The one exception is the British Airways site. That page is very confusing. At best is awful UI. At worst it was created to trick the user into purchasing a more expensive ticket.

I can't help but feel in the majority of cases fleeting access should not be a problem for a modern operating system. Lets say you are working in an office and get up to go the loo. You lock your work station. You are expecting that yo

After playing a bunch of Clash Royale I feel a lot like the author feel's about clash of clans. Clash Royale actually puts you into a routine of opening chests. Setting things in the game before going to bed and then opening things fir

PHPDoc is supported by most IDE's. Using this you can specify parameter types without using the actual type system. Visibility and typing features are good. Visibility helps to design and write better code. The typing features are also

Looks to me like there was a disconnect between what marketing wanted and what was delivered. Marketing saw this idea as a bit of fun, something that would create some good press and be playful. Unfortunately the implementation was terrible

I recently switched my iPad 2 for the latest model. The main reason for the switch was a broken screen on my old iPad. The new iPad is fantasic. I will be upgrading my partners iPad 2 later this year. The latest iPad is so much better. So m

I have always found these things to be a bit iffy. I think it is difficult to accurate track the number of steps or distance you have travelled. As for heart rate you would think it is easier but again I guess it would depend on the fit aro

I agree, advertising is very important for the web. I think adblock is a step too far. If companies cannot generate revenue through advertising then they will need to start charging for their products which would be a negative for most peop

You typically watch the player as much as the game. The game simply provides the context for the entertainment. Also.. Competitive tournaments are a good watch. You may be surprised. It also makes you better at the game you watch. So watch
