Why Heidi Montag Sucks
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to tell you why Heidi Montag sucks. Not at being an idiot reality TV "star," but as an actual human being and waste of space on planet earth.
For those of you who flinched at the horse-faced bimbo in the photograph, don't be alarmed. The boobs, the hair, the nose, the mouth and the nails are all recreations of what she would like to have been born with. I have despised her from the moment I laid eyes on her frowning, collagen-enhanced mouth. But something that I heard recently really sent me over the edge.
No matter what your political party, affiliations or views about America are, I hope you're with me on this one; Heidi Montag thinks that she should be the next VP of the U.S. with McCain instead of Palin. (Don't go pro/anti McCain on me here. Politics aside, I'm outraged at the thought of that airhead touching anything involving our country's security.) Can you imagine? The Oval Office would be pink, plastic surgery would be classified as a necessary medical procedure and she would have to have a full-time assistant for every move because her fingernails are impractically long.
And another thing; who the heck told that moron she could sing? Click on the Video tab to see her shrieking in a bikini. I blame her impossibly ignorant boyfriend, Spencer Pratt. The scruffy faced pig won a much-deserved spot on the Unsexiest Man of 2007 list, and it's easy to see why he was grouped with the likes of Bob Saget and the fat guy from Borat.
Between their idiotic love spats, endless supply of "candid" photographs and feuds with equally unimpressive reality stars, it's clear that for this couple, any publicity is good publicity. I'm probably just feeding the monster here, but if Heidi ever invades St. Louis, it's going to get ugly (uglier in her case).
Thanks for letting me vent about Heidi; I feel so much better now.

They are so photo-op oriented, media hungry... pathetic people.
(I'm sooo joking)
What is reCAPTCHA?
reCAPTCHA is a free CAPTCHA service that helps to digitize books.A CAPTCHA is a program that can tell whether its user is a human or a computer. You've probably seen them Ñ colorful images with distorted text at the bottom of Web registration forms. CAPTCHAs are used by many websites to prevent abuse from "bots," or automated programs usually written to generate spam. No computer program can read distorted text as well as humans can, so bots cannot navigate sites protected by CAPTCHAs.
About 60 million CAPTCHAs are solved by humans around the world every day. In each case, roughly ten seconds of human time are being spent. Individually, that's not a lot of time, but in aggregate these little puzzles consume more than 150,000 hours of work each day. What if we could make positive use of this human effort? reCAPTCHA does exactly that by channeling the effort spent solving CAPTCHAs online into "reading" books.
To archive human knowledge and to make information more accessible to the world, multiple projects are currently digitizing physical books that were written before the computer age. The book pages are being photographically scanned, and then transformed into text using "Optical Character Recognition" (OCR). The transformation into text is useful because scanning a book produces images, which are difficult to store on small devices, expensive to download, and cannot be searched. The problem is that OCR is not perfect.
reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA. This is possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be read correctly.
But if a computer can't read such a CAPTCHA, how does the system know the correct answer to the puzzle? Here's how: Each new word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is given to a user in conjunction with another word for which the answer is already known. The user is then asked to read both words. If they solve the one for which the answer is known, the system assumes their answer is correct for the new one. The system then gives the new image to a number of other people to determine, with higher confidence, whether the original answer was correct.
Currently, we are helping to digitize books from the Internet Archive and old editions of the New York Times.
