'Reading Level' Filter Added To Google Search
entotre writes "A new feature has been added to the advanced Google search: reading level. From the blog post: 'The feature lets you filter or annotate the search results by reading level. The reading levels include basic, intermediate and advanced. You can either have Google label or annotate the results with those labels, only show basic results, only show intermediate results or only show advanced results.' At the time of writing, Slashdot is 1 % advanced, 64 % intermediate and 34 % basic."
Everyone sound smart!
Derrida began speaking and writing publicly at a time when the French intellectual scene was experiencing an increasing rift between what could broadly be called "phenomenological" and "structural" approaches to understanding individual and collective life. For those with a more phenomenological bent the goal was to understand experience by comprehending and describing its genesis, the process of its emergence from an origin or event. For the structuralists, this was a problematic and misleading avenue of interrogation, and the "depth" and originality of experience could in fact only be an effect of structures which are not themselves experiential. It is in this context that in 1959 Derrida asks the question: Must not structure have a genesis, and must not the origin, the point of genesis, be already structured, in order to be the genesis of something?

I live in constant fear of the Coming of the Red Spiders.
Hahaha. Soon "Advanced" will be renamed to "Faggy and retarded" to aid comprehension.
which is totally what she said
Finally, I can just set Google to "filter everything below a third grade level" and never have to see 'Yahoo! Answers' spam cluttering up my search results!

My quest for advanced level porn brought me here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_outer_retinal_necrosis :(
They already have that option, but it's labeled Images.
Why do I have this horrible vision of LOLcats pages getting the first page on any result you might be looking for on a "basic" setting?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
You don't use words like "beset" in basic writing.
Sure you do. "I want my TV to beset to channel 8".
When our name is on the back of your car, we're behind you all the way!
Actually, alliteration almost always annoys any average American audience.
Ice Cream has no bones.
A reading index is just like a measuring tape. It can't tell you that you built a crappy house with crooked walls and a leaky roof; it can only tell you that something is 40 feet long by 30 feet wide.</p></quote>
Not true!
If the measuring tape is wet, then the roof must be leaking!
If the measuring tape is swinging, then the house must have a draft!
If the measuring tape is white, then even snow is getting in!
If you can't see the measuring tape, then your electricity is out!
And if you have a candle, and you still can't see it, then it must be foggy!
I'm sure there is more than this that a measuring tape could tell you, if you would be creative!
