I'm sorry but I just could not finish reading that transcript. It was just too painful. I've delt with good sales people before and bad, but that was the worst I ever hope to hear about. I admire the patience of Accipiter.
I just installed Sphinx II and tried the sphinx2-demo program. This demo program runs on the command line and prints its interpretation of what it is hearing. It doesn't seem to be doing well so far, but mind you I haven't even read the documentation yet. I may not have it setup correctly
I'm currently using Sphinx III for work and it works fine with preconditions:
The microphone quality is high.
You have a foam "wind guard" for the mic (none of that wooshing you hear when you breah on it).
What you are implying is that anyone can at any time take away something that I pay for is that right? Why dosn't anyone have any right to post to usenet? Who says? I mean if I pay $$ to post and access usenet then that's what I am paying for.
You are paying for the right to access and post to your ISP's news server. Nowhere does your contract say that it will be guaranteed to propagate to the rest of the net. That is where the UDP comes into play.
That's not important, though. What IS important is that you don't see deaf people complaining that they can't listen to CDs. No offence to any 'hearing impaired' (or whatever the politically correct term of the week is for people who can't hear), but this makes me angry. It really does.
Actually, I have a friend who is deaf, mute, and blind who likes to "listen" to music. She can still feel the sound, so louder is better. Also, she spends a lot of time on MUDs, with her braille terminal.
I'm not saying that everything should be reduced to the least common divisor, but there is a lot of pages on the web that if reduced to only information, would disappear. If the pages with actual content could present it in a form that blind, deaf, and over 65 could access, the world would be a better place.
If they keep the price at $360, then it will be the sweetest, most featured filled, American Market Flop of that year. The Dreamcast is $200 and currently winning the market. By the time PSX2 comes out, DCs should be $150. Let the market decided.

YMMV.
