It wasn't strictly a 'backdoor' but a few years ago when our ADABAS DBAs decided to lock the developers out of the production db I wrote a suite of direct-calls ADABAS/Natural programs so I could diagnose what was going on in the live db (in ADABAS the database to use is just another parameter, you see). It worked so well that people were coming to me for information instead of using the applications designed for the purpose, and I ended up rewriting my tools in regular Natural for the users.
Or, if you are like most of the people I've seen with an iphone you could ask any of the twenty people sat near you. They'll probably tell you who it is too.
It's like the one where some dubious company persuades you to install some new version of their operating system claiming that it's super fast and totally secure, etc. etc. and then after six months your machine crawls to a halt unless you give them more money for the next version which is faster, more secure, etc. etc.
Those aren't homophones, they are homonyms. But at least with Japanese the program could pick up the kana correctly. In English the sentence could be "My nose is read" "My knows is red"...etc. In Japanese the user would probably have to pick out the correct kanji like they do with Japanese input now.
English, I would think is a pretty daunting language for speech recognition, what with a substantial array of homophones, but I wonder if other languages fare better. Maybe Spanish or, say, Japanese would be better since (I'm guessing) there is a closer relation to the written script and the actual sound that it makes.
You ask them to move to the 21st Century? I'd settle for them moving out of the 16th Century. There's the legend of an announcement on a flight to Saudi Arabia - 'ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Riyadh, please turn your clocks back 400 years'.
I've been picking up some Japanese recently, via podcasts, torrented mp3s and the like but learning Kanji above Grade 1 isn't going too well. This is largely because I never get to use it in real life. My suggestion to pick up Kanki/Chinese Characters is to associate the symbol with the actual object. For instance, to learn the Kanji for "shoe" write the Kanji on a sticker and put it in your shoe, or all your shoes. That way, every time you put your shoe on, you will be reminded of the Kanji. Do this for everything around the house and pretty soon you will build up a healthy knowledge of Kanji for everyday objects. Once you can write the Kanji from memory, you can remove it from it's associated object.

Yes, I believe the state-run healthcare system for the armed services works really well.

Not sure what that is...can I get that converted to mp3s/sec?

Oh wait...
It's a bit like being the "most secure version of Windows in history" then.
Who has Microsoft.xxx, or Vatican.xxx
This is nuts. What is porn anyway.
At least they have somewhere handy to dump their garbage now.
I mean, what's there to teach? You start off with "God done it!" - where can you go from there?
If I had one I'd be replicating lots of Natalie Portmans, but you go ahead...it's your choice.
That ash cloud from Eyjafjallajokull seems to be scaling pretty good.

Why do people always refer to god as a "he"? Are they saying that god has testicles? If so, then what the fuck does "he" use them for?

Actually, given the situation, it's more like "All of my ash are now belong to you".
"We're so far ahead of everyone else, it's "not even close."
Oh wait...
This could be the name of the new version of this popular game.
Does all that. Plays Blurays too. And games.
No need to sync the glasses thanks - now knock off a hundred and fifty bucks from your price.
It entered the land of bittorrent download and piracy years ago.
There, fixed it for you.
For sure, you've obviously been touched by His noodly appendage.
Because this is exactly what high priests in religion have been doing for centuries.
