It can work just fine, it will translate what you say to text. That is not a problem with speech to text it is a problem with bad gramar. People who use bad gramar in speach will likely have bad gramar in typing. Speech impediments could be trouble some for the software.
My wish for the 2006 election is that "None of the above" be implemented on the ballot. Then if say 30% of the people vote none of the above we have a new election.
I am not in favor of Big Brother always looking over my shoulder and pulling off "patriotic" stuff, my only point was that there may be a time and a place for some video monitoring that wouldn't necessarily be an invasion of privacy. I think the important thing is that any monitoring that is done is known to the public. Hidden cameras are a no go for me, but if a city, say NYC, wants to monitor Times Square and they put up signs that let you know entering an area under video surrvailance that could be ok. In DC they have traffic cameras along the major roads and you can get a stream on the internet to check which way you should go. Is that an invasion of privacy (you can get plate numbers off it)? Or (some people might not like this) they also have camera speed traps, but they are all marked on the roads with white stripes (it basically says if you speed here you are dumb because we WILL send you a ticket). In the NYC example if the cameras were posted to the internet and the public had the same access that the government I would likely consider it OK. I agree that they have no business targeting you speciffically because of something you MIGHT do.
If they were getting put up in your house yes, but is it reasonable to have an expectation of privacy on the street? A tourist can snap pictures all day long and that doesn't erode privacy.
I agree with you completely. In the 90's it was much more dramatic than I think it will be during future cycles because it was brand new. The internet had just started to be a common thing. So while the cycles continue people won't get as silly this time because we all know that it won't change the world in 60 seconds or less.
His point is that there isn't really any information becuase they get to change all of the parameters to fit what the marketing department tells them will sell the best. Completely usless information is as good as no information.
And imagine all of those poor people who will buy this game and have no idea what is going on because if they are required to put a warning on the box it will be in fine fine print.
I agree a few more details on the labeling.
The requirement to use "0 trans fat" or "fat free" is that there is only 0.5g PER SERVING. So it doesn't even have to be significantly below the 1g level. From http://www.fda.gov/opacom/backgrounders/foodlabel/ newlabel.html Free. This term means that a product contains no amount of, or only trivial or "physiologically inconsequential" amounts of, one or more of these components: fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, sugars, and calories. For example, "calorie-free" means fewer than 5 calories per serving, and "sugar-free" and "fat-free" both mean less than 0.5 g per serving. Synonyms for "free" include "without," "no" and "zero." A synonym for fat-free milk is "skim".
There are also many other defenitions for "low", "lean", "high"....
It is not defining the problem away. There are problems with spilling primary coolant, but it is very different from melitng the core down. defining the difference between those two things is useful especially to the public who reacts the same way that people did to this article.
OK, I am actually a Naval Officer who designs the reactors (what NUPOC was to demanding). Those are not considered Reactor Accidents. A reactor accident is defined by a failure of the fuel system that releases significant amount of radioactivity into the environment. None of the accidents that you listed are due to a failure of the core and are therfore not REACTOR ACCIDENTS!!! Get your facts straight before you post!

You can't travel back in time to GET the winning numbers for a lottery in the future. You have to SEND the winning numbers back to yourself.

But if you rob someone with a pretend gun you can still be charged armed robbery. see http://www.law.ua.edu/colquitt/crimmain/crimcase/g arza.htm Even pointing a fake gun at someone can be a crime, so that part of your plan might not work. see http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4191/i s_20050108/ai_n10043840

Don't forget BIG TOBBACO.
Ok to keep the units consistent how about 4.19 J/gC.
And the colder the better. Your body will have to use energy to heat it up (4.19 J/gF).

Could this have been on purpose? No, but a what a great way to get people to switch to Macs.

MS is destroying my revenue stream by making a more secure OS!
Yeah, close enough. Who is this?
I guess we should just ban all mechanised vehicles too, because without them we would definately save just one life and then it would all be worth it.

This is not a lie. There is a fundamental difference between a reactor accident and unintentional release of radiation. Read my previous post on this.
And I thought it took a lot of my time to go to the doctor before. Repairing individual cells, now thats got to take a while.
The irony is that on top of this they want cheap electricity too!
I know this happened in charleston after a hurricane and would not suprise me.

Land based nuclear power plants cost billions to build. Navy vessels also cost billions to build, but they do a lot more than just make electricity.
