9mm over .22 all day long, but, what's it needed for?

I would hazard a guess at shooting someone or something,unless they want to use it as an ornament.

I was thinking more along the lines of home defence v competition shooting, but you carry on.

Or if you don't need full notes, you could type whilst at the conference, using your recordings as a backup for bits you'll do later. You could even type timestamps to reference when back home.

Sorry to say, there isn't yet a magic bullet in this field. Speach-to-text on the scale you want with no labeled data is not currently possible - it's a very difficult task.

Cheers for that Arkady

I don't think the transcription part would be possible to a decent level.

Won't the slide decks be made available to you?

unfortunately these days most people put together pretty crap PP decks and you are none the wiser for reading them. Sitting in the conference is partly research for me, so having a transcrip of what is said will be quite useful.

I know what you mean, it can be quite hit and miss. Will the conference be video recorded?

Re the transcript, you're best bet will probably be a hack: that is to train a system using your voice and repeat word-for-word your recordings.

Or transcribe yourself manually.

If it were me, I'd outsource to a transcription service as there's far too much work involved.

all we got then is Jasmine rice-pathetic really.

Eyes wide shut.

But the thread is about Thailand, not what Asia or Africa might or might not have invented. Still waiting to see one important invention listed from Thailand.

There have been a number of threads on Thai Visa about Thai inventions. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/13420-thai-inventions/ Try reading it.

Read it but still waiting for one important Thai invention to be mentioned here, can't do it can you? The best answer on that thread was :

'Posted 2004-07-16 14:13:29

On a serious note here, I've asked almost all of the groups of students whom I've taught over the last four years this same question. These have been 'educated' people, BA students, MA students and even the odd PhD. I have yet to have anyone give me a good answer. The only thing I can think that has been invented here is chaos theory! '

Saving lives not important enough for you?

Why don't you read some of the stuff in this thread instead of being belligerent for belligerent's sake?

Where are you? I've an old PC that suffered an HDD failure and I no longer use. It has an intel chip but can't remember details and I'm not currently home to check.

You're welcome to the whole thing for free, if you come collect.

PM me.

nothing significant at all then, as expected.

You have read all 13 pages of the first thread? Of course not. Is that the idea behind the new thread?

Som tam would appear to be the only invention of merit and the only one that has affected the lives of Thais.

Don't let facts get in the way of your prejudices.

RTFQ - it's not about how many!

If all you have is a bronze medal that is not very impressive, how about the helmet invention what was that all about, or was that it?

And technology that saves lives isn't impressive to you?

Read about Therdchai Jivacate, a very inspirational man.

Also read the following and research further for a new angle - award winning female Thai inventors:

You'll find many Thais have done great things to help the impoverished and/or disadvantaged.

such as? anyway helping is not inventing is it.

Did you read any of the above? Regardless, here's another example:

A Thai inventor won a bronze medal at the prestigious International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva for developing an affordable device that can help detect the risk of a stroke. Watchara Kaewmahanin, a lecturer at Naresuan University, competed against entrants from 45 countries and won two awards at the Swiss exhibition for her device that can check constrictions of blood vessels in the brain.

Inspector Reynaud: "I'm shocked! Shocked to find that gambling is going on here!"

Just what did you think they were doing all these years with the best people and virtually unlimited budgets for gear?

Your sarcasm is unwarranted: I didn't post the link because I fell off my chair when I read it. Simply to spark some debate.

Encryption is mathematically strong and I don't believe the NSA has completely broken encryption in the ways suggested.

There are a few guys who post here and are interested in the crypto space, hence my post.

But the article raises interesting issues. Trust is probably broken, with the NSA able to shape the commercial crypto space through political, legal and economic pressure.

In short, strong encryption works but is rarely used. FYI

NSA and GCHQ unlock encryption used to protect emails, banking and medical records

$250m-a-year US program works covertly with tech companies to insert weaknesses into products

Security experts say programs 'undermine the fabric of the internet'

PS Let me know when you get it and if you're up for Multiplayer battles and/or Co-Op campaigns.

I'm real jealous of friends back home who have decent pings - the Devs are always online hosting battles.

I play on Legendary, and the challenge is good.

I like the AI: it actually sets up to block streets, choke points etc. Yes, it's still AI and feel dirty losing, but much improvement IMO. It doesn't feel like say Deity in Civ, where you are penalised, but I haven't read up on the difficulties.

The new line of sight engine is the stand-out for me. Great opportunities for baiting, setting up hammer and anvil moves etc.

Where are the bad reviews? All I've seen is people rave about it.

And for good reason, it's epic on so many levels! From the banter between soldiers when idle to the catapult battle cam, I love it, love it, love it!

The AI is better too.

I've got about 20 hours in it already.

Pressure out the tank will be 3 or 4 times more than at ground level.

Hydrostatic pressure varies in direct proportion to depth. Volume is irrelevant.

The Belgian Embassy will accept applications from non-UK residents.

But, they'll go for approval to the Belgian Ministry of Interior. There will therefore be a much longer processing time.

Definitely worth speaking to them about it though.

I'm well up for it if this is still a live thread.

Can we do Feed The Beast tho?

I'd buy one but not ten (obviously).

I know some blonde girls in my home country that could not even explain why 2 + 2 is 4 . I think this is a world wide problem .

Let me ask you a similar question: why does 541 - 67 = 474

Tell me the why; not how or because, but why.....

5 advantages of the U.K being a member of the EU...anyone?

1. Non-tariff barrier-free access to the world's largest single market.

2. Free movement benefits to labour market.

3. EU-wide patent registration.

4, One set of rules for businesses wishing to expand on the continent, not 27.

5. Increased UK FDI.

6. Free movement benefits to the individual.

7. Fairer regulation of energy and telecoms prices.

8. Deregulation of air travel and increased consumer protection.

9. ERASMUS exchange programme.

There's a lot more.
