Stupid Comment Filter

Alex •

Finally! Gabriel Ortiz and a team of software developers are working on a "stupid filter" that promises to do to stupid blog comments what spam filter does to junk emails:

Ortiz's team is readying a free, open-source version they hope to release by year's end and make available as a standard plug-in on the popular Firefox browser by early next year.

How does it work? Say a user wants to post a really, really dumb comment on, for example, cnnmoney.com, where some of you might be reading this now.

If cnnmoney had the filter installed on its servers, it would intercept the comment just before it was published and flash a little alert at the author that reads: "This comment is more or less unintelligible. Please try to restate it."

The writer would get another crack at it, and another, until at last he was able to muster a few words of intelligence, or in frustration wandered off to inflict those LOL!!!!!s and OMG!!!!s on some more tolerant site.

It seems to be a foldable model of an manufactured open fireplace. The size and the hinges indicate that it is a miniature model. Presumably owned by a salesman to show the internal construction of a fireplace he wants to sell...

It's a leaked part from the rumored new Optimus Prime 5 which is supposed to be announced on September 12! I'm totally going to upgrade my Optimus Prime 4S, this one includes NFC!

It is a prototype of Magneto's helmet. See, he wasn't always so good at metal manipulation and in fact, forgot to measure his head before building his first helmet. In truth, he used a cardboard cut out of his head to take the measurements before building. And so it goes. He cast another, later, that fit and the rest is history.

At birth, the privileged females of Optimus Primea are fitted with steel helmets to train their skulls to grow to a shape of perceived beauty.

It is the first prototype for a codpiece. It was rejected and sent back for adjustments. The second design was much better and, oddly enough, could be used as a soup bowl out in the field.

That is a Chrono-synclastic Infundibulum from Vonnegut's "Siren's of Titan." You can jam all truths in that thing and they fit together.
