I was reading the insightful qwghlm (because all the other domain names were taken) recently. I’m a private sudoko fan, I do a puzzle here and there under the covers when R isn’t looking. Seriously though, I liked the idea that something like Sudoko is a much more tractable problem to a computerised solution than crossword puzzles. However, I must take issue with Chris Booth’s comments.
I love The Independent’s “Get the picture” for that reason. But the best example of this class of puzzle (often done for charity) are those where the clues are initial letters and lengths of the key words in a phrase (e.g. “The T—– D— of C——–“). What fascinates me about them is that there doesn’t seem to be any analytical process one can go through to solve them, but the answers are almost always universally accepted as right. And they can pop into my head at any time.
There is a clear analytical process to solve these based on a combination of understanding sentential structure and knowledge of common phrases. The sequence abolve follows the structure determinant adjective noun of (possessive) noun (potentially a proper noun!). Therefore solving it could be achieved using a search program (another opportunity to use the Google API?)
which builds up [Letters|Rest_Of_Word] signatures of common phrases based on verbal categorisation based on accepted English grammar. I’m not discounting the complexity of parsing a vernacular or highly idiomatic phraseology here! I recommend anyone interested in computational linguistics should get the following book: Using Computers in Linguistics: A Practical Guide (Paperback)
Slowly but surely we’re getting there. Gaisan’s online store will be launched within the next few weeks with a selection of computer hardware and consumer electronics. If you’re interested in purchasing any of the following before then drop us a mail at info@gaisan.com.
That’s enough of the merchandise plug, I’ll post more musings later.
Hi Kevin, all.
I wasn't aware that I'd posted to BLUEFACEPROMOS@yahoogroups.co.uk therefore I'm not going to respond to the challenge of "beating blueface"
However, I will explain our pricing model so a misleading comparison of the two services isn't drawn. Gaisan have an installation fee but our monthly bill is 5 euro/month whether you’re a business or a residential customer. Our prices are a little bit cheaper but we're not waiving the installation fee. Look at it this way you can pay your 120 euro installation fee in installments (10 euro/month) with blueface or upfront with us (fee includes VAT). Similiarly we charge for national calls to non-gaisan/voip customers but our international rates are very cheap, averaging under 4c/minute That's the choice. We're working to lower our costs and hence customer prices but for some customers blueface will be cheaper.
We also resell IP Switches and will build a VoIP solution for your organisation including call-centre facilities from scratch. I've 5 years experience in the field and know a bit about it at this stage. So if you're interested in buying VoIP services from us and supporting a Waterford-based SEEPP participant then do.
Sincerest regards,
...shane
