i suspect you had a large number of US-based calls. nuance is an american company and their algorithm is highly tuned to the accents found there.
from my own unscientific experiements, the success rate is 0% over about 100 phrases. some got close but most were so wildly off i was wondering how the hell is could even get there. some with potentially damaging consequences (calling international numbers, former bosses, and other business acquaintances) with no way to cancel. it's also extremely inconsistent, even when spelling the same names a few times. keep in mind this is with a limited vocabulary (ie, contacts names). on free text it's even worse
has any non-us speaker actually used a nuance product (or any other voice recognition engine)?
none of them deal with even the slightest accent. hell they can't even get me the proper number when asking for a a contact on my phone, nuance can't even understand when i say "call" and often try to do a search on some garbled text
how they ever expect to be trusted for critical financial stuff is beyond me
OP's point is that instead of paying 5$ for 6 channels, of which you only watch 2, you'll be paying 4$ for each of the two channels you actually want. (hint: total 8$)
"And the answer here is that women generally make much better managers than men"
that's another stereotype that's patently false i've had plenty of more than useless female manager i've also had really bad men manager most studies never account for actual skill level when they compare the two, or they have an agenda to propel.
of course a good "female" manager is going to be better than a bad "male" one. this has nothing to do with gender and all to do with skill, experience and individual traits
i wish all the best to robyn here though i've never heard of her. the only question that matter is "is she qualified for the job?" and the summary seem to imply that yes, she is
there already IS an unnofficial port, im running a beta of it right now and it's miles ahead of what samsung is providing. no random crash, or reboot, the status bar doesn't get stuck on top and i can actually answer every calls i receive (unlike the samsung rom which would make the touchscreen totally unresponsive about 25% of the time). to top it off, my battery lasts around 2-3 days instead of the 18 hours i was getting
but polarssl does not seem to support renegotiation, that to me indicates it's a pretty bad choice for a vpn which you expect to be up 100% of the time and pass significant traffic. looks like the dutchies just wanted SOMETHING they had made locally in an approved software, security be damned!
java's garbage collector is horrible, probably the worst of all VM. that's exactly why you always hear about it but it's the old "bad publicity is good publicity" trick, because we always hear about java's garbage everyone assume they're the only language to have one and they want garbage collection (who wouldn't? no one likes trash piling up on their front door!)
add my vote for ubiquiti gear. it's seriously great, their official firmware is linux based, and they even give instructions to install thirdparty fw (hell, the routerstation only as a thirdparty firmware)
newegg won't even let me purchase from them, their paypal settings are fucked and they won't do anything about it
i have half of a mind to think it's on purpose just so they can get get credit card numbers to run scams on, and this latest snafu doesn't help me think otherwise
in fact, i'd go as far as saying as the best programming language in the world pretty much ensure it will be unmaintanable. since most people that write exclusively in them don't understand the underlying abstractions
better than anything i've tried. vnc, single-click uvnc, moodus, crossloops, logmein, pcanywhere, ms remote help, and a bunch of other paid-for remote desktop companies
it's a single exe on their front page, no installation: just run it. and there's no login and password that you need to get the user to understand or manage.
when they run the program they get an ID and password generated automatically for front of them. numbers only. you just have them read it out to you and you're in.
the ID is constant for a single pc, but the password change every time they restart the app for more security. they can delete the exe once you're done,it leaves no trace. and it's small enough that you can have them redownload it every time, which is often easier anyway.
my customer base is farmers, OLD farmers. i have not had ONE issue getting them to log on. they're not always literate, much less computer literate. but they know numbers (got to count and weight those chickens you know...)
no retinal or handprint for canadian citizens at least. i just came back form a trip last thursday. i drove over the border to a small airport and flew the rest of the way to my destination. i got waved through after a very minor look at my passport: crossing customs at land borders is much less strict for some reason
now flying to the US is a bit more annoying, the last two time they sent me out for secondary interview (thankfully no full body search) but it didnt add any delay to my schedule. the first interview was mostly because it was my first time in the us, i was carrying tools in my checked luggage and was going to "help" one our rep to install our product. the guard thought it was odd (not without reasons) and kept asking for my work visa (which i didn't need) the second one they got ticked about my tools and their values (carrying a scopemeter worth 4000$)
if by high level you mean just about any of their sysadmin with access to the website? getting access to the actual key is unneccessary. you only need to be able to get something signed without them checking for some fields (ie, existence of CN, or capabilities bits..)
sure you might not be able to bribe verisign (though i doubt that) but in this case you only need to bribe one sysadmin from one of the big-name CA (any which has a certificate in your browser will do)
not enough power. the article makes it clear they will be able to pressurize it to 3psi, whereas the pressure that got it stuck there in the first place is 14.3 psi (or close to).
seconded. last time i tried, vmware server couldn't handle a single instance of a lightly loaded db server. moving to esx we're running 6 VM on that same hardware and the initial server has near-native performances
in short. use the right tool for the right job, or you have no right to complain
nevermind that a france translation is so hilarous it makes any game a joke to begin with. try and picture playing Medal of Honor but with the voices having a deep Southern accent, now try to keep a straight face while doing so.

except it doesn't run fine. it's completly buggy and shouldn't ever have been released to the public

they dont get the credit. they get the bitching.

it's not legal to do that over a certain (ridiculously low) amount of taxes due. check out provisional accounts
and i did, cancelled my service last year.
it's not cheaper, but it's certainly better in other ways
this is actually an improvement over their current practices.
they've been billing based on usage for years now, but they charge 8$/GB instead of 1.12$.
unless the article meant Gb, in which case it's meaningless and just validates their current business model
pidgin is nice, but it has one of the worst notification system around. either it's focus-stealing or not notifying you at all of new messages

short summary: everyone should adopt this NewTechnology(tm) because it will make twitter work better
1. If everyone uses it
2. if twitter implements support for it
of course it's pretty much useless for everyone else
they will be playable, but it will not be possible to actually buy an english title in a local store.
it means amazon and steam will be getting most of my, and others, business, and the local stores will be hurt for it.
