Sorry guys, I promise I won't hit on any of the girls again. It's just that I'm so lonely in my box and sometimes I need to unleash the beast within.

Subtle, but it gets the message across. So who ratted DU out?

How was the image marked as porn? Do they manually go through every pic and check them?

I'm sure they have an army of monkeys going through the billions (yes) of images.

P.S. Does the title mean we're all fucktards, or is this just a callout to all fucktards? /deep thought.

The former. We're worthless little peons in VD's own megalomaniac world, just mere tools for his entertainment. Like pieces on a board he moves us around and instills us with anger against each other, just to revel in the resulting chaos and confusion.

Verily, the time has come to rise against our usurper! Down with the tyrant!

IIRC highly paid computer scientists have actually developed sophisticated algorithms that can analyze images and determine if they contain naughty bits. It'd be really interesting stuff if your job wasn't to allow computers to surf for porn. Beats the hell out of writing the code for the next MySpace clone, I suppose.

Same idea as facial recognition, except with penises and boobs. A great waste of time and money. I think someone came up with the idea for these net nanny type things. They weren't too good at the job. Hard enough for humans to decide what is and isn't porn sometimes.

Well, KC, these guys probably didn't go to rinky-dink community colleges.

Any image recognition stuff is HARD, with a capital HARD. Not only are the algorithms staggeringly complex, they require a lot of number crunching to run.

As for how to recognise a penis, well, you have a general profile for it. I guess they then sort of distort it, rotate it, angle it, whatever until they get some kind of match. There's bound to be a few false positives, but that's your fault for looking at stuff that looks like a penis.

The problem is that phallic shapes are pretty much everywhere (Is that a finger? A sausage? A bottle or a big old dildo?) and how do you get it to recognize porn if the penis is buried into the hilt or it's at an angle that nothing obvious is shown, but its still clearly porn? I can remember one resorted to gauging it by the amount of skin being shown. It predictably failed badly, banning things which weren't pornographic at all and letting other things which were through.

This would make for an interesting movie plot. it could be like Pi only instead of the stock market he breaks the Divine Formula of the Penis. The people chasing him would be radical feminists, porn industry moguls and (of course) the Jews.

Just imagine the new power-drill scene...

Somebody please try to upload an image of a dildo. I really want to see what will happen.

You are a man, aren't you? So do it yourself. Take a pic of your slick dick and load it up. Than you will see what happens.

Some time ago there were rumours circulating that Volourn was a girl. The plot thickens.
