    we need to implement this on the forums ASAP :O

    check it out, we allready have spamfilters, but heres the stupid filter :p

    it automatically filters out stupid posts on the forum (including L33TsP34k , ROFLMAO , etc)

    check it out :p -> http://stupidfilter.org/

    the about page :

    The concept behind the StupidFilter Project originated during a conversation between Gabriel Ortiz and Paul Starr. 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.

    The solution we're creating is simple: 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.

    the faq :

    Is this a joke?

        No, this is not a joke.

    How are you going to manage to recognize stupidity programmatically?

        Pretty much the same way you can programmatically recognize spam, we'll look for things that characterize stupidity and assign particular tokens different weights based on how often they occur in hand-picked examples of idiotic comments. For more information, see Naive Bayes Classifiers and CRM114.

    When do you expect to have usable code?

        We expect to start releasing alpha source code around the middle of March, 2008.

    Isn't filtering stupidity elitist?

        Yes. Yes, it is. That's sort of the whole point.

    Do you really expect to be able to detect and filter anything that's conceivably stupid?

        No, of course not. You'd need real AI for that, and beyond a certain point it's simply subjective; after all, a sufficiently advanced AI would probably filter out the whole of human discourse, which isn't the idea.

    So what do you plan to filter?

        The idea is that the most egregiously stupid comments will also be the easiest to detect while remaining ignorant of context; comments with too much or too little capitalization, too many text-message abbreviations, excessive use of "LOL," exclamation points, and so on.

    How do you rate stupidity?

        Since we're trying to build a detailed database that serves as a very verbose example of What Not To Do, we look for comments whose prose style we can point to and say, "I don't even have to understand the content of this comment to know that it's stupid," -- based on the gross prose style alone, its stupidity is self-evident. It is then useful as an example for our parser to integrate into its database of stupidity.

    I looked at some of the results from the Random Stupidity page, and they don't seem that stupid to me; what gives?

        Keep in mind we grade stupidity on a scale of 1 to 5. Someone might get a 1 or 2 for a comment that used no punctuation, whereas a comment consisting of nothing but text message abbreviations with a dash of LOLLLLL thrown in for good measure would probably rate a solid 4 or 5. There is a certain amount of subjectivity, and our software is aware of that; scoring will be normalized to eliminate excessively generous or harsh estimations of stupidity.

    What about ironic uses of "stupid" diction?

        The StupidFilter is blind to irony. Our intent is that one or two instances of "lol" or "ur dum" in several paragraphs of otherwise-cogent text won't result in a false positive. However, we consider the StupidFilter's irony-ignorance to be a feature, insofar as even if an allegedly smart person makes a short, stupid comment, their smartness doesn't make the comment any less stupid. If your mom had designed the StupidFilter, she might say "If you can't say anything smart, don't say anything at all."

    Won't people just try to defeat the filter, the way spammers try to get around spam filtering?

        We certainly hope they will -- that implies they're no longer generating text statistically likely to be stupid. It's true that an obvious attack on the StupidFilter would be to salt a short, stupid comment with a long excerpt copy-pasted from, say, Project Gutenberg, but we think it's reasonable to count on the laziness of the stupidest commenters not to do this.

    Aren't you just trying to eliminate comments and discourse that you consider to be stupid?

        As much as that might be nice, no. The StupidFilter does not understand, in a meaningful sense, the text that it parses, and our graders select comments that are formally stupid -- that is, their diction, not their content, marks them as stupid. It is not our intent to eliminate debate or disagreement, but rather to programmatically enforce a certain quality of expression. Put another way: The StupidFilter will cheerfully approve an eloquent, properly-capitalized defense of mandatory, state-subsidized rocket-launcher ownership for all schoolchildren.

    Isn't that a very prescriptivist position to take?

        Yes, and we are equally aware that this will make us few friends in linguistics circles. But effective textual communication requires at least some formal rigor, and we feel such rigor is worth encouraging and, at times, enforcing.

    anyone got a sandbox or vc to test this in ?

    if its anything like here (in belgium) you'll be lucky to get your kit back in "any" state  ....

    i still have an old topic on here bout raids on lan party's over here , basically over here they rade lans cos ppl spread warez , they shut down the power and come in with a team of the fccu (federal computer crime unit) and take all your shit , no matter if there's warez on it or not , then things get inspected if they find anything u'll see em in court , if they dont chances are your kit ends up as a cop's new work machine ...

    basically over here they're allowed to use anything they seized for five or ten years or so ... (this was originally put in place so the cops could use your car they confiscated to use as a ghost car to do speed scans etc)

    there's stories of people losing their rigs (confiscated) and getting em back after five years, smelling like siggs cos all that time it was being used at a police station ....

    (these things are one of the reasons more n more lanparty's are going underground again ...

    anyway best of luck getting yer shit back m8

    8080 Computer playing Portal Still Alive

    Bah. I liked the terminal theme from Portal so I made it real!

    Everything on the terminals and sound is controlled by an Intel 8080 Microprocessor at 2MHz. The sound chip is a MOS SID (From a Commodore 64).

    Original MP4, a preliminary MP3 and the assembler source code is at http://files.1338.info/portal/

    More details for the computer system itself can be found at http://kaput.retroarchive.org/

    You need a proxy that can rewrite flash objects (either doesn't exists or is very expensive and would likely be illegal in America). The flash player will be contacting the site directly even if you downloaded the page through a proxy.

    TOR should have worked (providing you did complete traffic forwarding rather then using a local proxy) if the exit node was in Canada.

    sparda's right make sure u putt in the proxy settings in yer control panel > networkconnections , not just your browser ...

    hello DLSS

    i have the same book "c++ voor beginners"

    but do you think that "steel dit computerboek" is a good book , i wanted to buy it but i didn't knew if it was good so ...

    thanks

    well it used to be my favorite, so yeah its a great introduction book :)

    it gives an explanation on what the difference is between certain virus types , trojans, scams , etc (including a history list of legendary viruses) , some info on certain (old legendary) tools & trojans like subseven, etc

    even a list of mailadresses etc u can use to recieve websites you cant reach orthat are blocked (lets say you're in china , cant reach a certain site , just mail the url to the email adress and you'll get the page mailed back) and a bunch of other neat stuff including some phone phreaking story's (it also covers social engeneering etc)

    tho 1 big advice ! get the first edition ! (white grey cover with black fingerprints)  i used to have it and it has a lot of cool stuff they left out in the second edition (the black one you see with white fingerprints)

    so : if you can find it  ....
