Slashdot Mirror


Computers Paraphrase English

AhaIndia submits a link to a story discussing computerized paraphrasing of English news articles. This technology, destined to eventually replace most reporters with very small shell scripts, is thankfully still in its infancy.

    Fellow Jihadis,



    I am very pleased to announce the availablity of the anti-slash.org database tool.



    With this tool, you can easily search for posts that have been moderated +5 in the past, and repost them with your account to gain karma for future jihad operations.



    The best part of all this is that by doing this, you are helping fix the grave problems with slashdot. Read more about the problems and what else you can do to help at anti-slash.org.

  6. mod abuse?? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    i wonder if this comment has been modded down for reasons other than the content.

    Such modding is clearly abuse, since mod points are to simply judge the content of the post. If you don't like the poster, or his sig, then ignore it. But it seems there are some vengeful and jealous moderators out there who can't stand to see somone else get modded up for insighftul opinions.

    This clearly needs to stop.

    This technology, destined to eventually replace most reporters with very small shell scripts, is thankfully still in its infancy.

    Considering how much bad news there is today, it would be nice to have a completely unbiased point of view. I dont trust CNN as they seem to be driven by politics behind the cameras as well as in front, dont trust MSNBC (or whatever its called) because you dont really know who is paying who to cover the story, and FOX is..well...FOX. Everyone has a slant, itd be nice to have something free of this. This is why I like slashdot; even if you have a slant, your story is treated like everyone elses.

    Please mod down this guy whenever possible. His sig contains a link to the usual trollish porn.

    Here's MS Word's autosummary of the Fellowship of the Ring:

    Frodo! Frodo shuddered. Frodo gasped.
    Frodo remained silent.
    Frodo halted. Frodo asked. Hobbits! Sam! Frodo! Old Gandalf. _Dear Frodo,_
    _GANDALF_.

    Frodo answered. Good night, Frodo! Frodo! '
    Frodo shivered.
    ' answered Frodo. ' cried Frodo. Frodo, Frodo! Frodo actually laughed.

    So there you go. No need to read the book or waste 24.99 getting the DVD. Cool, huh?
