I love the irony of their using music by "Explosions in the Sky" in the background.

Whoa there, I do NOT feed on negativity.

People these days. They don't even know you and they make random assumptions.

I have really big ears due to having behind-the-ear hearing aids for so long... This is pretty interesting to me.

Go neatorama!

Speech recognition is actually very far from dead. In fact, it's thriving. Stenographers are people who handle transcripts in court, various legal purchases, provides CART services, and does closed-captioning.

However, stenographers are beginning to become a dying race, as voice-writers (that is, people who "talk" to a computer program in their computer) are on the rise, being much more efficient, faster, and more accurate. It's also an alternative for people who want to do stenography, but have carpal-tunnel or other debilitating diseases.

@Miss Cellania: How would that work? The knight would say that the knave would lie, and the knave would say that the knight would lie.

Why are we against this, exactly?

True, the US is in a recession, and as a result, there are a lot of layoffs. But we will eventually get out of the hole that we have dug ourselves, so it's not like the world is going to end.

Anyway, the world is already overpopulated, what harm could come from less people being born for a decade or so in just one country?

Not all of them were crooks. Many had families and were good people.

They just had crooked bosses.

Man, air traffic control personnel REALLY keep their cool. But then again, they're expected to. Its a high-stress job and average retirement starts in 15 years.
