Great.
Now, when I cough...my iPhone will call my mother-in-law.

Any real science going on in the world ?

NASA should try to find out why cats purr.

You didn't get ripped off $1600...you just helped fund future VR.
You wont get any regognition...but you were a player in the next advance.
We all play our parts, willingly or not.
For 600 million dollars, people at NASA discovered units matter.
Way to go,NASA....a kilometer isn't a foot.

Ah... yes Vista speech recognition...

NASA decided that in lieu of quality parts, larger salaries would benefit
the space program.
The $4 billion needed to land on a Jupiter moon includes the $879 needed for
the material to build the probe.
I think they all were plumbers before going to NASA.
Plumbers are weak with metric units.

IN case NASA is reading... the METER is the standard unit of length in the
metric system.
Not the FOOT, nor the CUBIT.
They make charts you can buy...so your plumbers(I mean, astrophysisist) can
convert.

I left this alone...but it bugs me.
The 600,000,000 million dollar fiasco was a Mars probe that got lost in
space due to some engineer ( or astro-engineer, fancy titles abound when tax
payer money is being thrown around ) not converting from english to metric
units.

I would have shut down NASA permanently.

Tang was the last useful thing (still made on earth).

Junk science for far too high salaries.

Dumb ass American Taxpayers.

Run in front of a bus, hopefully.
Useless piece of crap.
Must suck being of less value than gum.

Now you are getting it. Their prices will definitely come down because if
not, it will be bye bye Nuance.

No, Crappy or Crap for short, is what comes out of your mouth!

Same s**t different day above.

Change the bloody record!

Yes it is and in some instances better. No it is not difficult to get WSR
to perform like that. The troll above is just trying to promote his DNS
Medical in these forums.

If you just type in his name, you will see he uses the same old examples as
above in most of his posts. Be careful, he is a troll with an agenda.

you are dead right, I went through the learning curve but I did not suffer,
in seven months I found that WSR can perform anything that DNS can and in
some instances better.

That Troll that keeps going through this forum known as Mark Conrad (or
"Conman" as he is now known) boasts that he has been using DNS for 10 years.
Makes you wonder why it took him so long does it not?


>> Any real science going on in the world ?

I believe there is. There is an experiment that can be used on old people
with delusions of grandeur. What they do is inject the mouth with a special
ingredient and hey presto, no more bulls**t comes out!

>> NASA should try to find out why cats purr.

Cats purr because they are content

Conrad grunts to expel his bulls**t
