The Talk2 List this is semi-important if you like quake Fwd: [Audyssey] Important message from Matthew Actkinson.
I have no idea how I got on this mailing list. I just started getting email from it about 2 months ago, and never got round to unsubscribing. Begin forwarded message: From: Thomas Ward [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: May 1, 2008 7:16:00 AM GMT-04:00 To: Gamers Discussion list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Audyssey] Important message from Matthew Actkinson. Reply-To: Gamers Discussion list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Original message from Matthew Tylee Atkinson: This is an urgent request for your help, for feedback on the Level Description Language. I realise it is short-notice but I would appreciate it if you could at least read this email and consider if you wish to give feedback. As we're asking about how LDL suits the way you think about navigation and for constructive feedback on how it may be improved, we are keen to get feedback from those of you that didn't get as far as you would have liked with, or even gave up on, LDL. This is all valuable to our research, though we do ask that you give it as good a go as you can, of course -- I'm on hand to help with any problems. Thanks very much to those that have already or have stated an intention to very soon. As you may be aware, the past few years have been very difficult for me and, as a consequence, the AGRIP project. My entire life has been turned upside down due to a near-fatal road accident that has a continuing and profound effect on me and my intended career path. Through this time I have been trying to pick up the pieces of my Ph.D., which started off very promisingly but was interrupted for 16 months, so I'm basically back to square 1. I realise that the AGRIP project has suffered due to this and it is a great regret, but we are now finally at the stage we wanted to be -- offering the game, modding and early stages of map-making to blind gamers and putting more power into the community's hands to improve the whole thing in future. The techniques used by the Level Description Language could, if shown to be successful, be applied to any other 3D game, whether it's accessible now or not. Your feedback is the only thing that I can use to justify the time spent doing this and I desperately need it to be able to continue this line of work. For most of this year I have been chasing very pressurised funding bids to get the money I need to continue my research. Now I need to ask you for some feedback on a short timescale, because coding LDL took longer than I had hoped, mainly due to the aforementioned bids. However, if you can possibly fill in the survey at http://www.agrip.org.uk/ldl/survey/ on or by the 4th of May I may be able to get the paper I'm working on accepted and thus justify the expense of my research time on this project. We have never and will never ask for anything but community support and feedback in return for our work on AGRIP. Again I realise it has gone painfully slowly over the past year or two -- that's why I really need your help to get things going again. It will help the project and it will enable me to continue in the line of research I was working before the accident. So I am asking you to, please, (1) try LDL and constructively criticise it and, really importantly, report bugs so I can fix them and (2) fill in the survey by or on the 4th of May (even if it's last minute -- the deadline is the day after but I need some hours to collate results!)

The Talk2 List A Mac Message
This is an email message written on my new macbook, mostly to see if I can. Thus far, I'm loving the machine, even if I did have some minor issues getting things started. I spent several hours trying to install an application yesterday afternoon. I was trying to run it to get an installation thingy to come up, and it just wasn't happening for me. All I had to do was go copy it into my applications folder. At least I finally did figure it out. The main irritation is itunes. Itunes, even on the mac, still sucks monkey balls. Once the library gets over sixty thousand items or so, it's slow as a retarded monkey, and crashes if you move too fast. It also has extreme issues coping with network shares inside the itunes library. I need to find a new media player, it looks like! The only other irritation is mail: it reads from and status before the message subject. I need to figure out how to reorder the columns. Once I do that, it'll be good. Otherwise, I set the entire thing up without any help at all from anyone. The tutorial gave me enough information to get started with voiceover without overwhelming me, and completing the mac setup assistant was good practice. Access to safari works, it's just...different from the standard jaws web access we're all used to. I'm sure I'd be able to do whatever I needed to with safari, it'll just take some getting used to. I haven't played with ichat yet, but that's next on my big bad list of things to do. That, and track down where they put my terminal! I want it now. Anyway, I've been doing this for like 10 hours or so, up all night...my brain is mush. I think it's time to go do something else, now, perhaps. How do I send this? I need to go find the hot-key. Wow.

Re: The Talk2 List winamp5.5
Foobar 2000 works perfectly, assuming you don't have to broadcast. If you're going to broadcast with it, you're going to have to use the Spacial Audio standalone thing, because the oddcast foobar plugin is a pile; I played with it for one afternoon and it crashed lots and lots. And God help you if you want title streaming to work, because you won't get it going no matter what you do. But if you want just to listen to stuff, and play with DSP plugins, foobar is a perfect little player that even sounds better than winamp for most things. Patrick Perdue wrote: On 10/12/2007, 12:17:39 AM EDT, John left a message in a bottle, stating: This is why I never upgraded past 5.08. Once I heard of those wav issues I was pretty much turned off to the later versions of Winamp. Semi-long post ahead! There are workarounds for all this. If you want wav file type to show up in the open dialogue of the main window and playlist for newer versions of winamp (something that should not be necessary in the first place), here are two possible methods of making this happen: 1. Go to options, plugins, input. Select Nullsoft Waveform Decoder vX.X, and press configure. Here, you will find a list of file types to associate with the wav input plugin, as well as other options pertaining to dithering, bit depth/sample rate conversion, and such. Take care to make sure that only the following extensions are selected in this list: wav, voc, au, snd, aif, aiff Selecting a combination that I haven't determined after this point usually breaks it, and I have no idea why. It probably won't matter so much as these are generally quite obscure file types, and if you really need to play them that badly, then you are strange. 2. If the first method doesn't work, try this one: Open winamp.ini found in either your winamp main directory or in .x:\documents and settings\userapplication data\winamp if you were boring and configured it that way. Look for a line starting with extlist. You will see a list of all registered, but not necessarily all associated extensions, not necessarily in order. Here is mine as an example, although yours will surely differ, but this is known to work for me with newer versions of winamp: extlist=AC3:VOB:CDA:MPG:MPEG:M2V:AVI:ASF:WMV:mod:mdz:nst:stm:stz:s3m:s3z:it:itz:xm:xmz:mtm:ult:669:far:amf:okt:ptm:MP3:MP2:MP1:m3u:pls:ogg:mid:au:aif:aiff:ra:ram:wav Let me again state how stupid this is, and show my general annoyance that this is necessary at all in some cases. As with many things, I am generally annoyed. 'What this time?' Well, I am generally annoyed at anything past about Winamp 5.08 or so for various reasons, therefore, I am using a slimmed-down hybrid of winamps with version 2.80 at it's core, using some old and new plugins. It's very stable. I've been running FX Radio continuously now on three copies of these Winamp 2.80/5.x/other hybrids now for 51 days (up to 65 so far) without a single crash or anything bad happening. It only died after 65 days due to prolonged power failure thanks to a storm in August. Mind you, for broadcasting, I am using a newer one, version 5.2 to be exact, just because it has that cool global hotkeys thingy. I did try taking the global hotkey plugin and sticking it in an older version of winamp, but they were too clever for that, and only allowed it to work with versions 5.0 and up. I find that older versions of Winamp are far more snappy and generally responsive about things, and am still looking for Winamp alternatives. The best option right now is probably Foobar2000, but there are plenty of things that annoy me about this one, which I don't think I'll bother getting into at the moment. Tip: If you don't use it, uninstall or disable the Winamp library. It will make loading time much faster. By default, the Winamp library hangs out in the background and looks at all the music, streams, etc. that you've played, and keeps a nice index of them. So, the more media you play, the bigger the database gets, and the longer it takes to launch Winamp, thus, allowing it to get fat and giving it the opportunity to apologize for it later... unless you either uninstall the Winamp library, or configure it not to cache all that stuff behind you. God, I hope all this crap has been informative and/or useful to at least someone, as all this info has been obtained purely from experience and nothing else.

The Talk2 List [Fwd: Jobs warns knockoff iPhones lack several key features]
Original Message Subject: Jobs warns knockoff iPhones lack several key features Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 19:30:01 PDT From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Brad Templeton) Organization: http://www.templetons.com/brad Newsgroups: rec.humor.funny Followup-To: rec.humor.d For the original version, or to add comments go to: http://ideas.4brad.com/jobs-warns-knockoff-iphone-lacks-many-key-features Steve Jobs of Apple Computer warned today that a rumoured cheap Chinese iPhone knockoff making its way toward America is an inferior product which lacks many of the important features of the iPhone. It may look a bit like an iPhone, but when consumers discover all the great iPhone features that are missing from it, we think they'll still line up at Apple Stores for the genuine article, said Jobs in a released statement. Designed by software nerds, the knockoff, dubbed the myPhone by fans, has not yet been confirmed. Apple released a list of features reported to be missing from the myPhone. * The iPhone has special software that assures you will always use the trusted ATT cellular network. Lacking this software, the myPhone accepts any SIM card from any random network. Users may find themselves connected to a network that doesn't have the reputation for service, trust and protecting the privacy of customers that ATT has. In addition, users may be stuck without 2 years of guaranteed ATT service. * The iPhone is configured to assure you the latest iTunes experience. The myPhone might function before you have installed the latest iTunes and registered your phone with it. Indeed, the myPhone lacks the protections that block it from being used without registering it with or reporting back to anybody, depriving the user of customer service and upsell opportunities. * The iPhone has special software that assures all applications run on the iPhone have been approved by Apple, which protects the user from viruses and tools that may make the user violate their licence agreements. The myPhone will run any application, from any developer, opening up the user to all sorts of risks. * The iPhone protects users from dangerous Flash and Java applications which may compromise their device and confuse the user experience. * myPhones don't forbid VoIP software that may cause the user to accidentally make calls over wireless internet connections instead of the ATT network. Quality on the internet is unpredictable, as is the price, which can range down to zero, causing great pricing uncertainty. With the iPhone, you always know what calls cost when in the USA. * The iPhone saves the user from receiving distracting instant messages over popular IM services, adding calm to your day. * Music and videos in the iPhone are protected by Apple FairPlay brand DRM. On the myPhone, which lacks the important DRM functionality, music can be freely copied to other devices the user owns, putting the user at risk of infringing copyrights. * The iPhone assures users will only play media files in approved formats, and not risky open source formats. * The iPhone protects the user from setting a song in their device as a ringtone, saving those around him from annoyance and protecting the user from violating music copyrights and performance rights. * The iPhone bluetooth functions have careful security management. Users are protected from using bluetooth to exchange files with other users (such files are risky) or accidentally printing or communicating with your computer. Bluetooth is only used for headsets and headphones as was intended. The myPhone lacks these important protections. * The iPhone only uses its internal flash drive. The user is protected against hard drives, which have moving parts and can put data at risk. * The myPhone battery has a removable door over it, which can get lost, or allow the battery to fall out or be stolen. The iPhone's battery is solidly protected. Users are also assured they will use only Apple certified batteries and not subject to the risk of aftermarket batteries, which may explode, killing the user. * The iPhone is for sale only in the USA and primarily for use there. This encourages users to stay home in America which is good for the economy and their own peace of mind. * The iPhone, unlike the myPhone and all other cell phones, sells at a very solid markup for Apple, assuring Apple executives and stockholders will be happy, and the company will be around to support the iPhone for years to come. The myPhone, it is rumoured, will be purchasable in a wide variety of stores, confusing the buyer with too

The Talk2 List Avril's latest: Only the best damn thing if you're 14
This from Toronto's largest newspaper; I thought we were supposed to have love for our fellow Canadians? Huh. Guess not. Honestly...The globe isn't usually this bitchy. Avril's latest: Only the best damn thing if you're 14 The Globe and Mail The Best Damn Thing is not the worst damn thing, but it is a calculated thing -- a shallow, callow, unrefreshing thing. Avril Lavigne, the sassy-imp pop creation from Napanee, Ont., is a 22-year-old married woman posing as a child and performing to an audience that counts training bras and braces for their teeth as their year's eventful acquisitions. Add the new album from Lavigne to the list, and now the pink, sparkly cellphones really begin to squeal. The material is mostly fun and frivolous, a fact the singer readily admits. My last record had songs that were, like, so literal, she told USA Today, referring to 2004's Under My Skin. This record isn't a serious diary. It's not even really about anything I'm going through right now. What she's going through these days is married life with Sum 41's Deryck Whibley, her new husband, with whom she shares a newly purchased $9.5-million L.A. mansion. Are there tunes about her man? I have a couple of, whatever -- love songs, or whatever you want to call them, Lavigne said. Yes, Avril, the resolute Keep Holding On is what we call a love song. You wouldn't know that the Complicated singer is involved in a mature relationship, not with songs (written with the help of professional tunesmiths) that have her bashing boys, being bratty and looking for catfights down at the mall. On the drummy, driving first single, Girlfriend (with the cheerleading Hey Mickey beat), Lavigne is full of herself. She's like so whatever, sings Lavigne, in bitch mode. You could do so much better. Like Girlfriend, the following I Can Do Better comes swift with tom-toms and expletives deleted, with our helium-voiced heroine giggling and growling to an old Billy Idol riff. The acoustic strummed intro of the pop-rocking Runaway sounds familiar as well; here, Lavigne is having a bad day. The title track is a swirl of fun, with a highly confident star (oddly employing a faux Brit accent) cheered on by that pom-pom squad again: Give us an A, give us a V. Give us a break, which is what we have with the strings and sobs of When You're Gone and the piano-serious Innocence, with its Sarah McLachlan-like vocal nuances. But we're back to merriment on the hip hop and punk lite of I Don't Have to Try, with its fast churn and choir of backup-singing chipmunks. Lavigne is fun and assertive, telling her boy that she's the one who knows the dance and she's the one who wears the pants. Don't you disagree, 'cause you know it's all about me. Is it all about Avril? Of course it is -- she's the scene, she's the drama queen. Is she having fun with her bratty, spit-at-the-photographer reputation? You would suppose so. Is this album of any interest to any listener over 14? Probably not. Does that even matter? No, it doesn't mean a damn thing. Did you miss a message?

Re: The Talk2 List OT: survey
Hmmm, if you're going after blind folks, survey monkey, with those ajaxy non-radio button like things wasn't a smart option. Also, for me at least, the samples were much too slow and the questions weren't meaningful. I keep my jfw anywhere between 70 and 100 percent (depending on what I'm doing), and assign emotions to the speakers myself based on context, just like when a sighted person reads text. That was sort of like holding up cards with printing (in a too large font) on them and asking for the emotional context of the printing. I suspect the data you get is going to be randomized by people's current feelings towards doctors, post offices, and dinner. It might have helped slightly if you had used another language for the text, at least in that regard. Tasha Raella Chemel wrote: Hi all, Sorry for the off topic post.

The Talk2 List my drink of juice, was: Re: tbrn web page has issues
Hi everyone, I just had a lovely drink of juice. It was cold out of the fridge, and went perfect with a slice of rice bread that I also had (details to follow in a later message if requested). Before that, I ate dinner; dinner was also enjoyable. Unfortunately, the weather outside is cold and wet, so our house is the wrong temperature. If anyone who lives with me is on this list, could you please fix the thermostat? Thanks! A correct household temperature will make future glasses of juice and dinners much more enjoyable for us all! Also, we may be running out of juice; this is another issue that needs further study by our household pending future action (with special focus on the questions do we have another container of juice, and if so, where is it? and when is the best time to put the next juice container in the fridge to ensure coldness next time juice is required?).

Re: The Talk2 List Lost
From the Honorable Minister of Delicate Instruments TO MISS LANTERN My dear friend, Believe me that I was sincerely afflicted when I learned of the loss you have suffered: a steam powered urinal is not easily replaced. Yours, which had among other peculiarities, the ability to sing the Marseillaise when in use, was certainly worthy of the esteem you bestowed upon it. So, it is easy for me to understand the despair that your sister felt when it became evident that the urinal was definitely lost. Nevertheless, from that to suicide is quite a step! And, although I know that many fond memories were associated with its possession, I cannot but condemn such a fatal resolve. But this censure does not prevent me from profoundly deploring her sad end. A suicide is always, for those close to the deceased, a tragic and agonising event; but when it is accomplished by the means of jam, one cannot be less than terrified. Never would I have believed that your sister could resolve to die embedded in a vat of jam! And yet, all those unlucky enough to befriend her knew of her most morbid attraction to jam, even in jars. Do you remember how she could not contain herself whenshe saw it with desserts, how she had to caress it before even serving herself? Numerous incidents of this nature should have aroused our suspicions; but, blind that we were, we never understood their profound significance. Nonetheless, I shiver at the thought of how her last moments must have been. Please believe me that I share your pain and approve of your descision to banish jam from your life. This is a healthy reaction and I can only commend it from the bottom of my heart. It demonstrates both your determination, and your courage in overcoming pain as well as your instinct for self-preservation. I am truly glad, that without jam, you do not, indeed, risk letting yourself be compelled to follow the example of your sister. Did you miss a message?

Re: The Talk2 List a jully good waste of time and resources
Yup. The only other open source player I've found that can handle fx radio is vlc from www.videolan.org. Despite the name, it's a pretty cool program; it does way more than just video. Almost as nice as foobar...it's a way smaller memory and CPU footprint anyway, and loads a little faster. Also you can have multiple vlc's open without things breaking badly, unlike foobar. But it's somewhat lacking in dsps; it's got mostly the same dsp options as foobar, but something about the way they implimented them causes them to sound like crap and not do things in quite the way I would expect. Also they're located in a really non-obvious place. Patrick Perdue wrote: So, hi everybody, and welcome to a very bored Borris. Gee, this is starting to sound like an LJ post, but it's not, nor is it even worthy of such. This, of course, is really saying a lot. Anyway, my point today is to find the most inefficient way of doing things, such as, for example, listening to FX Radio, something which is rather easy to do, assuming you've got an AAC+ capable media player. I've heard that foobar 0.8.3 doesn't know how to do channel coupling, although the newer, inferior Foobar can play it. Oh well... Anyhow, here's my really inefficient setup so far. Any suggestions are welcome: I've got a virtual machine installed on my main desktop running Windows 2000. Under this machine, I've connected to my VPN, which is on the other ISP, and currently outside of my lan segment. This machine is running Tor and Privoxy. So, through the VPN, I'm tuneling through Tor to a remote machine somewhere. So, I have to go outside my network, across to my other ISP, then from there to that machine's tor socks4, to a remote machine. From this point, I could, for example, connect to another VPN on my other ISP over the remote socks4, which would be incredibly slow and bad. Let's just leave that setp out for now. After having done all this, I load up Winamp, set it's output to a virtual audio cable, load up audio repeater, rout that virtual audio cable to yet another virtual audio cable, load another instance of vac, and rout the final audio cable back to the virtual Windows sound card, which, in itself, is emulated, and then has to be routed back to a physical output device, in this case my on-board Realtech card. After having set all this up, I can connect to FX Radio, which is originating from an old Compaq desktop that is less than a foot away from me. As a result of all this pointlessness, a very large all that for that situation has successfully been created. I could have just loaded something tiny and little, but instead, I'm using VMWare, which uses 300something mb of ram to host the guest operating system, then running all this crap under that, through all the bad stuff mentioned previously. By the way, I'm writing this message under said virtual machine with Outlook Express, a client which I absolutely hate. So, that should tell you how bored I am. Now I'm going to turn off the virtual file and printer sharing, and purpousfully infect my virtual machine ith oads of viruses, just to see what they do.

Re: The Talk2 List Eudora to go open source
I'm already using thunderbird, and all I can say is that those eudora bastards better keep there nasty hands off my email client. 1994 called! They want their email client back! Stephen Clower wrote: Anyone who doesn’t want to pay for The Bat! Or stick with Microsoft Outlook may find the following of interest, especially existing Eudora users. October 11, 2006, 2:57 PM Qualcomm on Wednesday joined up with the Mozilla Foundation to announce it is transitioning Eudora into an open source e-mail client that will be based upon Thunderbird . In turn, all future versions of Eudora will be free and Qualcomm will discontinue the current paid client. Although it may seem like Eudora is simply abandoning its e-mail software, which has a small but strong following of loyal users, the company claims the Thunderbird-based client will retain Eudora's uniquely rich feature set and productivity enhancements. The first release of the open source client is expected in early 2007, at which point Eudora will cease selling the product commercially. In the meantime, Eudora will be priced at $19.95 USD and come with three incidents of support in a six month period. Until today, Qualcomm sold Eudora versions for a suggested retail price of as high as $49.95 USD. Current Eudora users can choose to keep running the ad-supported version indefinitely after upgrading to version 7.1 for Windows and 6.2.4 for Mac OS X, released last week but announced only today. Qualcomm says it will stop displaying advertisements in the client sometime early next year. Qualcomm has decided not to remain in the email market because it is not in alignment with the core business or strategic goals, the company said. By moving Eudora to an open source product, Qualcomm can exit the Eudora business while still supporting Eudora users and advancing the Eudora e-mail client at a faster pace than before, through the power of the open source development community. We're pleased to welcome Eudora and its millions of users to the world of open source, said Frank Hecker, executive director of the Mozilla Foundation. This effort should further enrich the Thunderbird technology platform and provide users of both products with an even richer email experience. In recent months, reviewers continued to give Eudora the performance edge for use with enterprise e-mail, compared against Thunderbird (though not against Microsoft Outlook). However, in practice, some have noted Eudora has suffered limited performance problems with recent versions, prompting in at least one case suggestions that users (in this case, students) try Thunderbird instead. -- Samuel Proulx mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fastfinge.livejournal.com [After the angel hoax is exposed.]Homer Simpson: What the hell are we going to do with 10,000 angel ashtrays?!Bart Simpson: I could take up smoking.

The Talk2 List Urination will go to committee
Urination will go to committee A local decision that schoolboys must sit on toilet seats when urinating has provoked political debate. The head of The Democrats Party, a splinter group of former Progress Party hardliners, Vidar Kleppe, is outraged that boys at Dvergsnes School in Kristiansand have to sit and pee. Kleppe accuses the school of fiddling with God's work, and wants the matter discussed at the executive committee level of the local council, newspaper Dagbladet reports. When boys are not allowed to pee in the natural way, the way boys have done for generations, it is meddling with God's work, Kleppe told the newspaper. It is a human right not to have to sit down like a girl, Kleppe said. Principal Anne Lise Gjul at Dvergsnes School would not comment on Kleppe's plans to make political waves and regretted if anyone was offended by the ban on standing and passing water. Gjul told NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting) that the young boys are simply not good enough at aiming, and the point was to have a pleasant toilet that could be used by both boys and girls. -- Samuel Proulx mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fastfinge.livejournal.com Recipe: A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't own, to make a dish the dog won't eat.

I took my chance though, and ordered a Rolex from your website. When I received it, I was definitely impressed, but wasn't sure if my associates would be able to tell it's a replica. But when I showed up to the meeting, they couldn't take their eyes off of my new watch. This watch gave me what I was looking for, classy style, with a touch of professionalism. - Julianne S., Just go to http://www.confuseactt.com -- Samuel Proulx mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fastfinge.livejournal.com Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to complain. - Lily Tomlin -- Samuel Proulx mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fastfinge.livejournal.com If you understand, things are as they are.

Re: The Talk2 List copyright and the distruction of society
Okay, hear you go: Opinion title: copyright and the distruction of society I think that: Copyright is, and always has been, the most dangerous set of laws passed by any government for anyone's protection. The teeth of copyright must be pulled, and stopped from ravaging the bodies of the common person! If nothing is done, copyright will be responsible for the complete destruction of western society, and a *lot* sooner than you think! Because / Why: Did you know: -- the song “happy birthday” is still under copyright? This means that the laws against public performance of a work under copyright in most countries apply! Legally, you are required to get permission before singing the song in public! -- That many wonderful books are currently out of print, and can only be purchased used, because the holder of the copyright has no interest in trying to keep them in print? More than half of all the printed word is being held hostage, and kept away from society, by the copyright hoarders! -- that most copyrights aren’t held by artists (singers, painters, authors etc) but instead by large companies? When an artist dies, a publisher usually snaps up (or already owns) all of his copyrights, and the publisher almost never gives a cent to the artists children or grandchildren? -- that copyright does nothing to protect the interests of artists, instead protecting the interests of big business at the expense of those of society? -- that this issue has been of concern to many, for hundreds of years? Only recently has copyright become more and more eternal, but artists in the past were able to do just fine. -- that shortening copyright terms to something reasonable (like perhaps 10 years after an artists death) would drastically bring down the prices of books and media? In order to protect our rights, and leave the creative legacy of our society open and accessible to everyone, the term of copyright must be drastically shortened!

This is disturbing, would you all not agree? I'll have to test this out later this week when I get some free time.

The reason is a dll is not registered in the c:\windows\system32\ folder or directory. Once you register this dll you may use model talker with jaws, window eyes, and any other sapi5 application available that sees it. Any voices you create with the InvTool program will instantly show up in the list of available voices once you are done creating the voice. There are jaws scripts for the Invtool program to help people use it a little better. I have them if anyone wants them. If someone would be willing to make window-eyes set files that'd be great! Here are the directions for registering the dll. Please review each direction and or command carefully with your screen reader's review commands. 1. go to start menu and then to run. 2. in the run dialog box type: cmd and press enter. alternatively, go to your windows 95/98/2000/me/xp command prompt. 3. at the command prompt type: cd\windows\system32\ 4. after each command at the command prompt you must press enter for the command to be executed. 5. you should now hear or see c:\windows\system32\ 6. now type: regsvr32 mtttseng.dll press enter and a dialog will come up saying that the dll is registered. press enter on ok and you're back at the command prompt. now type exit and you're back in regular windows. Now go ahead and see if model talker works with your screen reader! Again, any voices you create will instantly show up in the list of model talker voices. have fun and hopefully we'll have some new screen reader voices to pass around on or off list to each other soon!

Re: The Talk2 List Fw: Democrats president cooking.
I really don't think it's acceptable for people who rip off the tbrn contact list for the purposes of spamming to remain in this community. Your actions qualify as spam, theft, and misuse of personal data. All of the above are against the law nearly everywhere. If I had more time, I would file a class action against you; your actions are contemptable.
