Errors in voice dictation result in the _wrong_ word. There are no "illiterate fsck" misspellings unless you actually program them into the vocabulary.
Discrete speech works fine for programming. I don't see how natural speech could work since they depend on complex recognition models. Discrete allows for the auditory nonsense of coding.

According to this website, in 1993 IBM created a PC dividion to compete agianst mailorder companies (Gateway, Dell, et al) and called that Dividion "Ambra".
Dividion? Twice? That's one of the more creative examples of spelling I've seen it awhile. Bravo!
This is scary stuff. If the terrorists got their hands on weather reports in the USA there is no telling what trouble they could stir up. I imagine this kind of thing should remain secret and proprietary.
Does anyone else remember Cobra's Weather Machine? I blame the resurgence of Cobra for the four hurricanes that smacked Florida this summer. Crazy environmentalists are paying him and he's using our new culture of fear to make a name for himself again.
I don't think you'll find that Lance Armstrong thanks Clinton or Congress for his recovery.

That's a commercial for Bristol-Myers-Squid... spelling intended... I didn't say that life-saving drugs don't exist or can't be created. I said they _aren't_ the focus of pharmaceutical companies because they are genuine challenges that take more capital than the shareholders will permit. Instead, they make up stupid problems that never existed before or were nameless annoyances.
Case in point: acid reflux disease. Prior to the arrival of this disease, people generally called it a "nasty burp." Is this worth the time and energy of our scientists?
If you followed last week's congressional hearings on the pharmaceutical industry, you'll find serious corruption going on.
ask who should be in charge of developing medicine - the government or industry?
Be real for a second and review industry's track record. Drugs for phantom depression. Drugs for sex enhancement. Drugs for obesity. None of these result from real societal problems and the greatest tragedy is that they aren't funding smaller problems with the major profits. They are just inventing more problems.
Perhaps a better question is "who do you want to define research priorities--government or industry?"
WTF happens if your computer is off and you need to make a call because your house is on fire, or their is a bugular in the house?
That's amazing. I never thought I'd see such ignorance from even the dumbest slashbots.
I can't call you a troll because it seems like you actually believe you wrote something that would enlighten the heathens of slashdot.
I can't accuse you of astroturfing either because the real astroturfers that lurk around here are pretty clever to get their message across to the unsuspecting.
You are just an ignorant clod. Spare us all and stop posting.

DAMN! 400 mph? That's absolutely insane for any vehicle, let alone a motorcycle. That's lightcycle speed. It definitely needs a windshield. A better seat might be nice also.
Makes a hell of a way to die. Spend half a million on a Tomahawk motorcycle, blow a few grand on whores and go for a final ride into the sunset.
I followed the link in your sig... what kind of retarded shit is that? If an 8 year old kid wrote it then, whatever, but I fear it was written by someone who should have known better.
Did you figure out why they recommend against putting these in recessed enclosures? My house is designed around indoor flood lights. The operating temperature should be lower than even compact fluorescent. What's your impression?
When I was shopping for energy efficient lights years ago, Target had some tucked away in the corner of the lightbulb aisle.
The manufacturer was Sunbeam. GE dominated the rest of the row with incandescent and halogen bulbs.
Today, Sunbeam is gone. GE still dominates this row but within that GE domination, compact fluorescent lights rule the area.
Companies want to make profit, sure. But to think they want that profit coming from any particular product is not understanding capitalism. Markets change and companies change with them.
Just type random stuff into eBay. Consumers are certainly not facing constricting choices.
As for skipping through commercials or forwarding through trailers, that's an entirely different issue that has no bearing on manufacturing goods.

I typed "tits" and it drew a blank.
A red giant would swallow the first three planets. Lower density really doesn't matter at that point.
Not always. Eventually... a billion years or so... nuclear fusion might be only five minutes away and nothing will be alive on this planet.
English is your second language, right?
Lord Kano's response was funny. Your post is not.

Could it be that the spammers somehow share the same host? Maybe SuperNova has a side business...
:) I laughed out loud. Thanks.
500 lbs. Good luck trying. I hope the handicapped don't crush you for your insolence.
You don't have to wear the suits but you might not like the _other_ requirement.

Pesos.
Timothy... you're fired. :)
Tattered... ugh... I meant "tattooed".
No more posting before 11 a.m.
That sounds too much like "Gwyndows" and, as such, would remind me of an ex-girlfriend that broke my heart. :)
Using Gwyndows would be like having her name tattered on me.
Let this idea die right here, amigo.
