Has anyone tried integrating Asterisk and Rhetorical's rVoice software? We're evaluating different approaches to system announcements via T2S. Has anyone gone down this route that could give some advice? I've installed festival and wasn't too impressed, the demo one the website seems far better quality and clarity then the default...

The one I like: http://www.rhetorical.com/cgi-bin/demo.cgi is toast. I think they went broke or got aquired by someone. Also, is there a Festival voice that sounds as good as Rhetorical or the AT & T stuff? The default one is barely legible. Since Festival is a little brutal to configure, I'd like to get someone's recommen...

...me (i.e. chosen <- subset(data, indexvariable %in% chosen_cases)) this solution relies on the Hmisc library and is horribly inefficient.

I''ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It''s for the professional J2EE developer converts out there. Let''s say someone hired you to write a Basecamp clone, but it has to be done in Java, say on the Tomcat or JBoss platform. What does your stack look like now that you''ve

...OVER WHEN SKIMMING THE DOCUMENT BECAUSE, HECK, THE GCC3 DRIVER COMPILES DIRECTLY TO BYTECODE SO WHY DOESNT GCC4? It's a "least surprise" issue. If gcc3 produces bytecode directly, why did the gcc4 driver create such a large departure from original, expected functionality? It's a rhetorical question, BTW.

...php?group_id=72099 ================================================================================= My bison is this: bison (GNU Bison) 1.875c (Which appears to be ancient because the s/f link above shows the 2.5.31 flex archive date as 2003-03-31). What's the risk of ignoring this warning? Rhetorical question: why is CentOS using a moldy old flex/bison package? Thanks, -- Mike

So, here's a (somewhat rhetorical) question: why are "efistub" and "pxelinux.0" together in this conversation? Regards, Ady.

...eard it, can't believe it, must be doing something most others don't, whatever.... ;*) I have trouble believing that the ONLY ways to get a newer GNOME are to wait for CentOS 6, run a different distro (not likely) or build it myself. This is Linux, after all, isn't it? (That's a rhetorical question - no answer required, unless those /really are/ the only options....) TIA. mhr

...arning), is that really right ? Who can possibly benefit from this optimization ? And how can that ever outweigh the harm in not reporting an error ? Why are we expending any effort at all to optimize something that just about everyone agrees should always be avoided ? These last questions are all rhetorical so no need to answer them, the problem as I see it now is that everyone CC'ed on this email probably by now would agree privately that optimizing away undefined behavior is wrong, but no one wants to be the first to say so publicly. We’re stuck in a log-jam. We need someone like you to take tha...

(That's a rhetorical, because I > already know the answer from the way you've been treating me: no) Yes, contributors are valuable, however contributors are members of a community and are expected to behave in a way that reflects this. There are a lot of people on this mailing list that I have argued with on t...

Who said anything about almighty authorities, and who mentioned Linus or the kernel community now? Their emails are on the LLVMDev list for everyone to read: I picked up what made sense to me. But whatever.

What's the difference between: <em>emphasis</em> and <i>italicized</i> and <strong>strong</strong> and <b>bold</b> It seems to subtle for my browsers. The only "difference" I've been able to find is that according to the O'Reilly book <strong> and <emphasis> are semantic tags, while <b> and <i>

...ed fiddling with more recent versions again, and I even have a new section on my blog about CentOS: http://blog.microlinux.fr/centos/ I just read through this thread, and I must say I'm a bit worried, to the point that I'm asking myself: is CentOS still as reliable as it was? This is not a rhetorical question, but a real one. On my Slackware servers, I'm hosting a few dozen websites, various platforms for schools and public libraries, some streaming stuff, webmail, etc. and these machines *never ever* give me any headache. Can I expect the same stability from CentOS 7? Cheers, Niki -- M...

How come I allways immediately run into difficult stuff when I''m trying some new programming language? Am I blind for the simplicity of Ruby/Rail, which a see must be there? Anyway, don''t try and answer this rhetoric question. I have got another one for you, seemingly difficult. I''m struggling with a n:m relationship (in a database, that is) and its join table.

WinXP, R-2.9.1 LS., I have been trying to solve a (for me) tricky issue. No matter what I've tried, I just can't find a way to do this. This is the issue: I have a text file (ansi text) "titles.txt" with lines of text; here is an example of such a file: >>>>> a brief history of polio vaccines anti-vaccination movements and their interpretations early warning

The author''s statement: "That wasn''t hard now, was it?" This is on page 57. The question is obviously rhetorical but it is severely mocking me... Can anyone help me with this?

...tance (setBody(...) has been called). My curiosity is enhanced by the fact that reseting a name of a StructType instance may result in a symbol table collision which would result in the renamed name not matching the parameter name to setName(...). This question is for my own edification. It is not rhetorical. Thanks in advance Garrison

It will only touch nodes actually in the dominance frontier. > Note this is mostly rhetorical, as that the paper asserts about the dominance frontier algorithm in figure 5: "we contend that the sets cannot be built any more efficiently". Given the paper's authors, I have a tendency to trust this assertion.
