Look man, my logic is this : If it were reliable and easy everyone would do it. Thats free market economics for you. Since people do not do it it is neither easy or reliable. Period. If you will simply include the link to your "trivial" version of the "trivial" software I will recant and call you a programming God. Until you can produce the program to translate perfect German with no voice training I will just have to wait for that "keyboardless comput

Dave - if it was "trivial" we wouldn't be typing this on a keyboard now would we? Whenever I see your software appear in a Gov't intel installation to do this "trivial" task I will give your post credence. Until then I will simply regard it as compost.

My wife is trying to volunteer for deployment and even as proud as I am of her and even over the slight envy I have, I still feel a bit of fear that she will suceed in her quest.

Yes I know McDermott has been on the record *before* yesteray's business but I demand consistency. He was obviously against it before and has even *voted* against it previously, why wont he come clean about it now? Hmmm... election year? Thanks for the comment shades. I like people who bring actual content and research into the comment block. It is a nice change.

Man do the math even for this imaginary computer driven task.... Let alone translating the spoken word into text is *terribly* difficult. You have to teach the software each individual voice for it to work with *any* reliablity *and* that is assuming the language is English! Computeers are no where even *close* to acheiveing workable transcritions, beleive me I wish they were. My life would be much much easier if I could replace Pseudosoldier with a li

Your hubby's food fetishes could easily be cured by a few weeks in a dirty foxhole eating only MRE's or whatever else you can scavenge and having only dirty hand and dirtier utensils to eat it with. He would never bitch about "slimy peppers" again. Tell him to pick up that fork and let his testes drop. :)

Reply to Brahimi needs to recognize Iraqi realities in International JoeUser Forums

While the terrorists are not anywhere near as powerful as the Nazis they are *much* less likely to respond to diplomacy than even the Nazis were. They have little in the way of a centralized authority and a lot in the way of personal power mongers who would never give it up willingly.

Reply to Brahimi needs to recognize Iraqi realities in International JoeUser Forums

Like nearly anyone in a specialized job, diplomats always assert the necessity of themselves. By proxy they eleate their own personal importance over the *normals*. The U.N. as a whole has been a spectacular failure since it's inception. They have been paricualry inept at nation building and democratic election processes.

Reply to I Think These May Be the Two Meanings of Life... in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

Heinlein's Starship Troopers (the book not that craptacular movie) actually uses these two things as the defining forces that shape *every* decision you make in your life. If you have never read it I highly recommend it. Trust me, the movie has nothing in common with it except the name.
