Reddit comment analysis

Notes:

• bzip2 is horrible. Uncompression is painfully slow. Files are downloaded and recompressed using gzip. All files takes about 150GB
• Uses poor mans Map-Reduce. Each file is converted to a word/count file and at the end they are merged.
• the scoring is really slow and O(n^2). This could be done in parallel
• Tried to eliminate the Huge numbers of brand names, tv show characters, fantasy stuff.
• Some misspelling are so common they make the 90% percentile!
