  1. Arizona Bay... on Google Funding the Next Big One? · · Score: 1

    I've just made the real estate investment of your dreams ;)

  2. Re:Good enough for what? on Is Speech Recognition Finally 'Good Enough'? · · Score: 1

    Something that should be mentioned in this context is "styles".

    Speech styles vary considerably from written styles. The obvious area where these differing styles "merge" (maybe that should actually read "blur") are emails & instant messaging.

    As a result, dictating emails and IM make sense. Dictating letters doesn't.

  3. WiFi Broadband elsewhere... on Australia's Great Linux-Based Satellite Network · · Score: 1

    Scottish Borders has a trial project rolling out now...

    There are 9 area's being activated in 3 clusters. 2 are live now and the last is coming shortly...

    The idea is to provide an alternative for rural Scotland as BT ADSL triggers for these areas are huge... this is the trial project.

    The project is a Scottish Enterprise initave with infomation here http://www.scottish-enterprise.com/sedotcom_home/s ervices-to-business/broadband/broadband-news/borde rs-rural-broadband.htm and also here http://www.broadbandforscotland.co.uk/

    Thus Plc are providing the infrastructure and it works like BT ADSL i.e. ISP's signup and supply services using this infrastructure... so far 4 have signed up to supply service...

  4. Re:DIVX players on DVD Recording - Is There a Winner Yet? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Try the KISS DP 450 or DP 500 DVD Players... http://www.kiss-technology.com/projects/dvd_450.as p?id=109 They also claim Divx playback as a first... http://www.kiss-technology.com/news/content.asp?id =52
