The StupidFilter Project: Because the internet needs prophylactics for memetically transmitted diseases.

The Wall Street Journal reports on one Gabriel Ortiz, who has a noble project under development.

[A]n open-source filter software that can detect rampant stupidity in written English.

Using a statistical approach similar to Bayesian analysis, Mr. Ortiz has created a filter that uses his library of baseline “stupid” and “smart” texts to evaluate the intelligence level of new comments.

The StupidFilter manifesto:

StupidFilter was conceived out of necessity. Too long have we suffered in silence under the tyranny of idiocy. In the beginning, the internet was a place where one could communicate intelligently with similarly erudite people. Then, Eternal September hit and we were lost in the noise. The advent of user-driven web content has compounded the matter yet further, straining our tolerance to the breaking point.

It’s time to fight back.

Visit the StupidFilter site here, and have a go on the online demo here, where you can type in your own or paste in someone else’s comment, and the filter will evaluate it for stupidity.

“The change was so gradual that I didn’t perceive it and for people around me, likewise. It was just so gradual that no one really noticed. It wasn’t until a friend that I hadn’t seen in several months came by my parents’ place to see me and he asked me ‘what did you do?‘”

“He’s really lovely!”

DAVID Hicks described Osama bin Laden as “lovely” and trained with al-Qaeda a month before the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a court was told.Australian Federal Police (AFP) also told a court in Adelaide today that Hicks could still be seen as a perceived threat to Australia.

Yeah, I’m sure bin Laden’s a great guy. So was McVeigh, and what’s this slander I’ve been hearing about Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Hussein? I’m sure they were really friendly blokes too.

Hicks is a scumbag.

He’ll always be a threat to Australia.

Gazans Stand With Hamas, Terrorism

Snippets…

(IsraelNN.com) “Jews! We have already dug your graves,” declared Hamas official Mushir al-Masri at a half-million strong rally of support for Hamas in Gaza’s central square Saturday.

Al-Masri said that Hamas was eager to combat the IDF in any upcoming conflict. “The enemy’s exit from Gaza will be nothing like its entrance,” he said. “Gaza will become a graveyard for its soldiers.”

“Those who remain committed to the constant rights of their people, those who make an enemy of America and the Zionist occupation gain popularity,” Haniyeh barked. “This is Hamas. We will never cede our land. The choice of resistance and Jihad is the best path to liberate Palestine and return Jerusalem. Not negotiations and meetings, sitting at round tables and exchanging smiles and chuckles with the Jews.“

London plot suspect escapes in Pakistan

Pakistan, rid yourself of your Taliban “Intelligence Service”!

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A Pakistani-British man suspected of involvement in an al Qaeda plot to blow up U.S.-bound airliners over the Atlantic has escaped from custody in the Pakistani capital, a senior official said on Sunday.

“We’re trying our best to re-arrest him,” said Interior Ministry spokesman, Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, speaking more than 20 hours after Rauf’s disappearance.

“What made him do that when there was no major case against him and secondly, how did he manage this as 10 or 12 armed policemen were guarding him. It is a mystery,” lawyer Hasmat Habib told Reuters.

Yeah right, BOZO’S!

Man Gets an $85,000 Cell Phone Bill for Modem Use

Pay Up, Dude.

We’ve seen $3,000 cell phone bills. We’ve seen $10,000 cell phone bills. But now we’ve got a bill that’s approaching six figures, as a Canadian man has been hit with an $85,000 invoice.

And no, it’s not a computer error.

Piotr Staniaszek had been using his cell phone as a modem for his computer, thinking he was covered under his $10-a-month unlimited mobile browser plan from Canadian telco Bell Mobility. He actually caught the bill at $65,000. When he called to complain, he was told that it had hit $85,000 for the use since the bill was mailed.

Man Douses 2 Women With Gasoline, Sets Them on Fire During Robbery, Police Say

Snippet…

LAKE WALES, Fla. — A man set fire to two women, including a pregnant one, and shot a man who tried to help them during a robbery attempt Thursday at an insurance business, police said.

Leon Davis Jr., whose 30th birthday is Friday, walked into the Nationwide Insurance office shortly after 3:30 p.m. and demanded money from two female employees, Police Chief Herbert Gillis said. Davis was not satisfied with the amount of money he was given, threw gasoline on the women and set them on fire, Gillis told The Ledger of Lakeland.

Davis then allegedly shot Brandon Griessman, 33, in the nose after he tried to help the women. The suspect fled leading authorities on a manhunt until he turned himself in at a Polk County Sheriff’s Office substation about 7 p.m.

Yvonne Bustamonte, 26, Jane Luciono, 23, who was six-months pregnant, were flown to Orlando hospitals in critical condition, Gillis said.

Luciono underwent an emergency Caesarean section delivery, Gillis told the newspaper. The condition of the baby was not immediately known.

“I’ve worked in this business for thirteen years and not seen or heard of anything like this in my career here,” Capt. Troy Schulze said. “I’ve never seen anything come close to this, violence-wise. It was heartless, absolutely heartless, for someone to do something like this.”
