The only down side to this is that I would have to be in the same room as the appliance and I'm a very lazy man. Ideally the house would have a microphone and transmitter in every room. Perhaps a robot is cheaper?
There isn't a nobel prize in mathematics. Story has it that Alfred Nobel's wife ran off with a mathematician.
And to think, we were that close to getting it.:)
Voice recognition technology has needed a killer application for a long time now and PC's will never provide it. If you have to sit at your desk to stare at the screen, you may as well have a keyboard in front of you. Unfortunately we will always need to sit and stare if we're retrieving large amounts of information.
Voice rec. only comes into its own when we're giving orders, i.e. when we are not expecting a large amount of information back from the listener.
Perhaps a robot which understands 60,000 words is the first step. The next being a robot which can act on them. I'd like to see this little guy bluetoothing with my kettle, fridge, video recorder etc. "Boil Coffee", "Write shopping list" and "Record 10:00 Film". Cool.:)
General comments along the lines of "Ani is dangerous" and "Ben is cool" don't give much away, but Harry does describe one or two small scenes which were not in any of the trailers. "Jar Jar lets the jedis (2 Jedi, 1 Jedus?) into a room" can be verified. For the moment, my money's on Harry.
The only way (IMHO) networks could aviod people flipping when ads come on would be to synchronise them. If all the stations play ads at exactly the same time, flipping would do no good. Of course, this would mean the networks would have to work together.
As you said, energy and mass are the same thing, just measured in different units. Photons have energy, therefore they have mass. That is why black holes are black. Light is pulled into them, just like all other pieces of matter.
I believe Mary Shelly's doctor was the first to perform transplant operations. Am I wrong?
To go further back, Vulcan, the roman god of metalurgy, had a bevvy of solid gold slaves long before RUR was ever written.
True, it would be a sad world if everybody only listened to ideas they already agreed with. Even sadder if we insisted that all ideas expressed were agreable to us...
The rating system is a way of *describing* a film's content, not a way of *defining* a film's content. "I want to see 'Pulp Fiction' in PG" is as pointless as saying "I want to read 'Hamlet' as science fiction". If you want to see a PG movie, rent out a PG movie. Duh.

When exactly does it take the picture? When everybody's screaming at each other with loud "happy" voices? Or when we're spending some "happy" time with someone in the back seat?

Yeah I know... But it's nice to think we have something to boast about.

Now let's hear no more about it.

Or better still, to save you drawing a keyboard on your desk, you could use an old keyboard...

Would a massive FPS game do it? Maybe with a few general types playing it as a RTS...
