The self-sustaining vehicle – why can’t there be?

green carI guess I’m a ‘dummy’… I guess I just don’t get the problem.

The argument is not so much can a car be self-sufficient, but can you really get away from a GAS fuel; I want to say yes- [to coin a phrase] yes we can.

These are some things, technologies and some people that need to sit down and talk and then create something that is absolutely amazing-  a self sufficient car. A car that requires no fuel; it just works.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking coming to Blackberry [first]

image Nuance is still working on the release of their Dragon NaturallySpeaking for smart phones. While the release for the iPhone is still planned, it seems to be delayed a bit. The first release or beta testing of Dragon NaturallySpeaking for a smart phone will be for the Blackberry.

The release of the iPhone version is slated for release later this year… This is still very exciting news.

With everyone I’ve spoken to, they are very interested in this ability; the ability to dictate a blog from their phone.

Released: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.1 [64-bit]

Dragon_yeaWith great anticipation, the new version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking has been released. It’s not a 64-bit application, but it’ll install- and that’s what’s important.

The 64-bit version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking can be downloaded from here. Hopefully, you’re not limited by 5gb cap and can spare some bandwidth, the download is 1.5gb.

Nuance is going to allow you to download the MSI installer for free, but if you want a DVD with the installer, you pay $10. So download the file and burn it your self.

Update: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.1 64-bit

Nuance Dragon Naturally SpeakingAs a registered user of Nuances Dragon NaturallySpeaking, I’m just as frustrated at the handling of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 AND 10 as everyone else is, but Nuance is close to releasing the 64-bit version of v10.

If you search the support forums over at Nuance, you’ll find articles from 2006 requesting 64-bit versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but all you’ll see is ‘…that platform is not supported’.

In September 2008, or shortly before, Nuance 64-bit users were greatly disappointed again to find Nuance had once again dismissed them. Not only had they ignored the requests from v9, but they had continued their disregard for their customers by releasing v10 with no 64-bit support.

Minefield: Firefox 64bit – Still early…

image I guess I’m among the early few that have a 64-bit operating system. While I can benefit from the speed and the additional resources, I have to put up with the shortcomings of various software providers.

I was looking to take advantage of my system and it’s resources, so I recently downloaded Mozilla’s version of the 64-bit browser called Minefield. It’s an early version of Firefox 64-bit… surely it’ll eventually be renamed to Firefox as it should.

Installing Minefield is no different than installing Firefox, but Minefield obviously performs a lot better in its native environment, but people like myself can’t take full advantage of a web browser like this because Adobe doesn’t provide a 64-bit version of their flash player. This makes using Minefield a problem in most cases. Read more…

MICROSOFT: What are you [your programmers] thinking?

Every week there’s a new exploit, a new security problem, another program they wrote with a security flaw. It’s simply incredible to think that this is a company that is founded and dedicated to producing and supporting a Operating System that 90% of the world is using and yet it has to be patched on a monthly basis.

I don’t know for the life of me why these things even occur. I really just chalk it up to really bad programming skills.

Netbook: Defacto Internet Appliance

While it may not be abundantly clear to everyone or if anyone has thought about it; what is the future of the Netbook?

I really don’t understand where this Internet devices going. A couple of years ago we were creating laptops that had 17 inch monitors and they were fighting for hard drive space and CPU power and all these different things for your average everyday home laptop, but now it seems they are in a regression; now everyone’s fighting for smaller ones with less features.

How to: Install Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 on Windows 7 64-bit

Nuance has officially announced that they will now support Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 on on a 64-bit operating system, but I have successfully installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 on Windows this to 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit.

 

Installation process for this versus Windows 7 for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is virtually identical.

There’s nothing dangerous about this process.

 

The installation files from Dragon NaturallySpeaking are copied to the local hard drive, the installation MSI file is modified to root remove the launch conditions that prohibit installation onto a 64-bit operating system.

 

The rest of the installation is pretty much stock from Nuance.
