You might want to give this a shot. Smacking your laptop can now be useful!

Amazing :o

Im waiting for the day when we can talk to our computer to tell it what to do (although some of us do already through sheer frustration *cough*) but all voice commands will be the norm. Shut down PC, Open Word, play media player and run Das Boot :arrgh!: And then we can have strict commands which the OS will always obey: No BSOD for the rest of the week! :lol:

You aren't already doing that? Man! You are behind the times! Go get yourself a good voice recognition software. You can start with Microsofts free Speech SDK:

I have tried a few voice software yet it still not quit what you see in the movies :D I want the full blown movie type.

I read that Bill Gates has his house all voice controled and his interior walls generate waterfalls or anything the nature kind. Kinda like living in a virtual house i suppose. Very cool.

Other than the fact that I'm a little dyslecsixc 2day the transparent aluminum is what Scotty was going to demonstrate to the fella after talking to the mouse in the movie 'Voyage Home'. About the hump back whales and saving earth.

My favorite is when Kirk and Spock and the lady protaganist are in the pick-up truck and Spock dead pans how out of place the two of them are.

How does it go? We're not at our best. That's for sure.

Makes me laugh every time!!
