Even More Porn Image Recognition Software

Rob Pascual writes: "I thought this article was interesting. It's a review of software that analyzes pictures in email to see if they are porn. Not that it works too well, but it's interesting how it works, and has a lot of cool info on image recognition." See also this earlier Slashdot story about the same concept embodied in software from Exotrope and Eye-T, which seems mostly to illustrate how absurd it is.

instead of hooking it up to BLOCK images in email, why not take the reverse idea, and hook it up to a search engine. You could electronically index the web, rate quality, etc.

You'd be the next dot.com millionaire.

Go where the market REALLY is.

I'd wager they can't block this little tid-bit:

Warning! Don't click here if you're under 18 or local regulations prohibit you from downloading pr0n, even ASCII-art.

When looking at this pic, try setting your point size to 4 and make sure you're using a fixed-width font. Much more realistic.
