“because all the major candidates are deeply flawed. “

***Begin Quote***

The one candidate who has always talked about the real issues. This is great news. It will take a lot of effort by his supporters to give him a chance–he is not a friend of big corporations. When he was elected to Congress well over 90% of his support came from individuals. Anyone who is serious about seeing Ron Paul as President needs to be proactive.

I can NOT imagine what a Ron Paul administration would be like.

But, I’d like to see it!

New game code delays bear hunt

***Begin Quote***

In the proposed new state game code you’ll find this sentence: “There is a closed season for black bear until the commissioner approves a comprehensive policy for the protection and propagation of black bear.”

***End Quote***

And, if and when a bear hurts or kills a person or pet, what will happen to the commissioner?

Can you say “nothing”?

Dragon voice recognition system
Cool Tools By Keith Shaw, Network World, 02/22/07

This version seemed to work only with Windows 2000 and XP; we couldn’t try this on a new Windows Vista system, and it looked like Version 9 wouldn’t be available for Vista.

I LOST NO TIME TELLING THEM HOW MUCH I THINK THEIR SUPPORT SUCKS!

Just don’t expect any support for your problems from Nuance Software. If you go for it and it happens to work on your windoze box, you’ve won the lottery. I have tried both Dragon and Via Voice, both “supported” by Nuance, and have had mixed results. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn’t. Just because you get it running, don’t think you’re home free. And, if you have problems, even if you pay their “per incident” support fee, don’t expect to get anything resembling an answer. If you have deduced that I think the “suck”, you’re right.

XPfails – luggable – GADWIN PRINT SCREEN v3.5 – It has to be XP!

Friday, February 23, 2007

For some reason, after several months of use, now when I start GPS35, it doesn’t appear to “do” anything. It doesn’t splash. It takes memory. (I can see it in XP’s process list.) But, it just doesn’t do anything anymore. I’ve uniunstalled and reinstalled. Help?
