Plus, when your fancy new car comes home with vomit (or worse) all over the interior you're going to be really angry.
Either that, or after the car is commanded to drive itself to the detailers, who bill the cleaning costs against the deposit that the car's last passenger put down for the trip, that passenger will be really angry after they recover from their hangover (or worse).
It's an impressive demonstration of voice recognition
Is it really? Since English is a non-phonetic language, I wonder if there's a parallel between coming up with consistently pronounced individual phonemes for special characters, and PalmOS Graffiti. In both cases:
the computer gets help in keeping input tokens distinct by restricting the breadth of expressivity of the input space,
the human has to alter their input to improve recognition for cases the computer has difficulty with.
It is definitely impressive from a practical perspective in that tweaking the voice recognition like this can produce much improved results.
I remember reading that that the GNU GPL is a license, not a contract, and that most proprietary software is accompanied by both. My vague understanding is that lawyers aren't familiar enough working with the GNU GPL's 'bare license' situation.
The procedure can't be that different from cows or horses you just need a bigger sturdier dummy, clear
Then a certain maker of realistic human surrogates will have to fire up production on a little-known product line from one of their subsidiaries, Rijndael.
I had a Nokia 2610 that had a 'timed profiles' feature, which would switch to a given profile (in this case, the silent one), then switch back to the normal profile at a specified time. Perfect for meetings and movies.
None of my other phones have had this feature built in, and I have to wonder why this isn't included in the base feature set on all phones.
When I first heard that this song was copyrighted, I thought that one easy way for Stallman to get his point across would be to produce a copyrightable work more accessible to the average person. Something along the lines of:
briefly describe why 'Happy Birthday' is copyrighted, and that it's a legal liability for the company
describe why it's freely singable, as long as you don't try to restrict others from singing it
pay a real songwriter to compose alternative birthday song that people would actually want to sing as a birthday song
license song as GPL or Creative Commons
print out song and short description on postcards
as a footnote, include a URL pointing to average-person-understandable description of how copyright is being weaponized, and that copyleft is an alternative
send postcards to HQ for restaurants, letting them know they can sing it freely
people hear the same song in multiple restaurants and start getting curious
copyleft birthday song replaces copyrighted birthday song
people start understanding copyright, copyleft, and Creative Commons better

One thing that struck me was the time and effort he put into it. He's been working on it for many years now, which is probably why he's been able to write 800 modules for the project.

Plus, there's precedent for this. Oddly, I couldn't find links to buy software on CD or DVD, though.
Picking your nose: Terrorism
Oblig. Futurama: at least there's precedent for the last one.
You're not the first person to think this is more than a little weird.

Would you really spend time talking discrediting the bum's paper solely on who he is and not the content of his work?
The bum's paper? How frequently does a PhD have occasion to need to suture a wound?

The solution is that they learn simple math so they're a fully functioning member of society.
Canadian society, anyway.
"what happens when the steam plant has a leak and all this water condenses and suddenly fills the basement?"
See? One of the obvious perils of having your servers in the cloud.
They'll ship anything.

Oh wait, I think there's a typo in there somewhere -- sorry.
The same thing that is killing USA's Auto companies (save tesla), Boeing, and hollywood, is that MBA's now run things.
Don't forget Las Vegas.

With more than 900,000 apps and 50 billion downloads, customers know where they can purchase their favorite apps.
Amazon?
Or if you're going to stick with Trek, Rura Penthe.
I further considered going and telling a staffer, but I didn't want to miss part of the movie to do it.
Maybe you should have just texted one of the staffers :-|
I find that supporting the Movie or Music industry is like giving money to my local mafia.
It might be nice if it was actually like that.

To put this into perspective, if you were to write this data onto standard DVDs, the resulting stack would be more than 2 miles tall.
Once that happens, they'll be able to stop storing it on DVDs and move it into the cloud.

Or you could start with our less advantaged citizens.
Try leaving your taps open and soon the utility company will call you and ask you what you're doing.
And sometimes the man just comes in and shuts you down.
Doesn't even have to be all of $100.
