Truly, though as screen name clearly states, I am the anti tech. I do enjoy reading those things which I feel I (half-ass) understand and the rest I force my uber geek fiance to explain to me. (Complete with white board and colored markers!) Though I hold a PhD in a field totally unrealtd to all things technological, I fancy myself pretty intellifent for a girl from the deep south who should -per status quo- be missing as many teeth as I have children (the first conceived while IN high school, of course).
The thing I've come to fall in love with most here is the rapier wit. Frankly, there are insults I write down for later use at work because in the words of Dane Cook they're like little "brain bombs". I've said them and walked away before anyone realizes it's an insults. To hell with learning tech-type things....it's the brain bomb insults I'm after! I personally have a 3 page list from here and there complied (some from here). I would really appreciate it if trolls would maintain the sort of standards to which I've become accustomed because "yo mommma" and your face" just really don't cut the mustard in the corporate world. *sigh*
It's true - some people never open their mouths without subtracting from the sum of human knowledge. (TBR)
As we have a team in the contest (first page of the leaderboard) I know that using the IMDB's downloable info is prohibited due to some clause that states it can not be used for commercial purposes. This is IMDBs rule however Netflix has raised no objection.
Moreover the problem with the Netflix dataset is they have intentionally inserted misinformation into the dataset for whatever reason.
Our answer was to have someone (read:me) to comb over each of the 17,000 entries and screen for basic accuracy. For instance, I wouldn't consider "Family Guy", "Southpark" or many of the Anime movies intended for adults (tentacle porn and the like) as being listed in Cartoons/Family/Children - but who know about kids these days!

Faithfully,
Another super high UID jagoff.
