Stupid Filter

January 30, 2008

It’s time to fight back. Are you tired of reading useless, inane, and asinine comments? It bothers me how many stupid people read, write, and post on the internet. If you feel the same way, and want an worthwhile internet experience, then look no further for the Stupid Filter has come. Basically, it runs a filter over text on a web page, and blocks out anything it believes to be “stupid”. It has released a Beta, and works surprisingly well.

As taken from the link, Stupid Filter is:

“The solution: an open-source filter software that can detect rampant stupidity in written English. This will be accomplished with weighted Bayesian or similar analysis and some rules-based processing, similar to spam detection engines. The primary challenge inherent in our task is that stupidity is not a binary distinction, but rather a matter of degree. To this end, we’re collecting a ranked corpus of stupid text, gleaned from user comments on public websites and ranked on a five-point scale.

Eventually, once the research is completed, we plan to release core engine source code for incorporation into content management systems, blogs, wikis and the like. Additionally, we plan to develop a fully implemented Firefox plugin and a WordPress plugin.”

Sounds too good to be true? I guess we will have to wait and find out.

Doorknobs are dead

January 7, 2008

This is a very interesting article I found on the net. Apparently, doorknobs are reaching the end of their days, being replaced by door levers. The argument is well presented, and fairly logical. If you need to kill some time, then this article is the perfect way to do it.

Movie Review: The Simpsons

January 3, 2008

Let’s face it. Everybody knows The Simpsons. While everybody may not watch, or appreciate for that matter, their stylistic approach to humor, many do. I for one, appreciate the show, and the jam-packed humor inside of it.

Recently, I finally got my hands on their feature motion picture. There is so much I can say about this movie, I don’t know where to start. However, rest assured that there will be no spoilers in this post, it will merely be my opinion on the movie.

The Simpsons Movie, combines slapstick humor and meaningful content fairly well. It weighs a bit more on the humor side, as any Simpsons media does. The movie has good animation, great voice acting, and some hilarious content. Homer bringing home a pig is absolutely priceless. There is definitely heavy symbolism in the movie, which only enhances the experience. Now let me warn you, there is a brief scene of nudity in this movie. Yes, nudity in an animated movie, yet alone The Simpsons. But nonetheless, they managed to make a joke of the scene. This was really the only downfall to the movie in my opinion. I feel that this could have been left out, with other more meaningful content put in its place. This is a movie, which I feel I can watch a few times, then never have a need to see it again. It is not an epic movie of all time, and not one that I will want to watch over and over again.

My Rating

The hilarity in this movie definitely deserves a 5/5. However, due to the slight lack of meaningful content, in comparison to the humor, I rate this movie:

Overall
4 / 5

I do however recommend this movie to you. If you enjoy the type of humor which The Simpsons bring, then this movie will not let you down. I will say though, it may be worth it to rent the movie than to buy it, due to the lack of re-watchability.

The Vii

January 2, 2008

Alright, I find this video absolutely hilarious. If you are a techy person, you will probably laugh with me. If not, then you may think this video is not so funny. Now one thing to keep in mind. This is not the well-known Nintendo Wii. This is simply some rip off of it.

Nonetheless, if you are looking for a good laugh, see what happens when these guys open up:
