Humans can get some of that extra carbon dioxide we billow out and make a whole new industry for the idle factories and my fellow Americans. http://www.r744.com/papers.view.php?Id=559 This is easy stuff and the payoff is less energy to modify temperature and humidity in homes for our human happiness.

I have this expensive program and it works like it should. You will wonder why you did not have before. If you search the web you can get the Unlimited pack for the price of the 10 user.

I think if we could emulate the human circulatory system and think of cars as red blood cells and veins/arteries as rail system. We have the majority of basic infra structure in USA. The basics being -utilize the current system of highways to build a rail system above and in the middle of the highway that lets cars/trucks get on and off easily to the more efficient train. You would park your car on the train and have a lunch while you zoomed across America. You have freedom of choice by getting off the train with your own vehicle and doing what you will. You would still have the highway to accommodate the old style cars and trucks. Then there could be a reasonable functional-ability of a little battery car that will go 200 miles per charge. Big semi-trucks would only haul trailers from train depot to destination. The technology and engineering of the train would of course depend on the high speed chair lift mechanism and a couple straps of graphene.

Lasers create the antimatter which offsets the matter add in some goose bumps and we have a real friggin' fast weapon here!

Seriously if you have a good mic you can program applescript and make words up the script will open your files / programs. This is not for adding text and the like but TFA-Question only says open files. You can eliminate all other commands from speech recognition and you will have less problems with the computer doing strange things. This really does work very well, you can make up some crazy words that will open whatever. Simple scripts could add words or numbers (as mentioned in site above) and most applications have speakable commands or just use applescript to make application do what you want. What problems have you had that cause you to label it clunky?
