Slashdot Mirror
Updated Slashdot Advertising Policy
In response to increased advertiser demand, we have decided that we will post one story
a day paid for directly by our advertisers. These paid "Slashvertisements" will appear daily amidst the normal stories you read here. Our first Slashvertisement
is for our sister site, ThinkGeek ,
stuff for smart masses. From Linus' Autobiography
to
42" Plasma Screens and Caffeine Products Galore, ThinkGeek has everything you need, except love. But enough of their gift certificates could bribe your way to that too! And check out
their current exciting specials!. Also at the request of our advertisers, anonymous posting has been disabled. If you
are interested in reaching quality demographics using Slashvertisements for your company, or just have
questions about the new ad policy, email Hemos.
