That is, even if you make your links useless (easy with a no-follow meta tag) it wont help, the majority of this spam is AUTOMATED, and will spam your wiki/blog/guestbook based on simple page queues.
Your best personal defense is to manually remove any page or html queues that a spammer would pick up on as being common to a certain type of postable web page or element.
Bloggers have been creating blacklists (banning both poster ips and destination urls) with some degree of success. This is a deterrent, having a spammer show up on a blacklist whereby webmasters use a distributed file to 'clean' their blogs automatically.
I will respond to this entirely in Ani Difranco quotes (an independent artist who formed her own label, not because she couldn't get signed, but because she was an artist, not an employee) - perhaps the best songwriter since Joni. She sings about her own life, and much of her life applies the issue of conflict at the root of this discussion. She has approached the problem as an artist should, fighting as a poet can, with words, and eloquence. The point is well taken by anyone with open ears and open mind. -- you are what you do, in order to prevent becoming what you're busy not doing and if you do do it truly and you arrive at it duly then in the end you are absolved and the problem of living, is solved
and they can call me crazy if i fail all the chance that i need is one-in-a-million and they can call me brilliant if i succeed gravity is nothing to me moving at the speed of sound I'm just gonna get my feet wet until i drown...

science chases money and money chases its tail and the best minds of my generation can't make bail

The best technical straight bet in the casino is Baccarat.
But it's as boring as brining your mom to Vegas.
Craps pass line bet with odds can be better if the casino offers a reasonable odds multiplier, which they don't these days.
Poker is different. You don't bet against the house in poker, they simply take a cut of each pot. You don't have to deal with a defined house edge with infallible math dead set against you, you can simply bluff the newbies with your pair of 4s and walk away rich.
Poker can't really be considered a casino game, casinos just provide a place to play.
I think you could string something like 4 voodoo rush cards together or something (who knows if you got 4x performance, but I'm sure it went up not down)
Problem was, by the time they put this out there, the tech it was running was months behind cutting edge. 4x something old is easily forgotten.
Actually it's not so easy. try ranking for a term that makes you money. Now think of the other four thousand people trying to rank for it... there's only one number one spot. Ranking for the term miserable failure is easy, because there is no competition.
I do this for a living, I'm an SEO. This contest is a joke in the professional community, and no self respecting SEO is going to enter it. They're all busy making money.
Hydrogen is just used as an energy storage device here -- the fact of the matter is you can create a self sufficient house running off of just solar-to-battery array for less money.
Saw a TVO show on it recently, an Ontario couple had their whole modern house (fridge, stove, blenders, tv's everything) running perfectly off of a large solar setup, completely off of the grid - and they did it all top to bottom for less than 50K, Canadian! That's right, almost free!
meh, I'm going to live simply with a solar/wind to battery array - we don't need no stinking hot water tanks.
On that note, can anybody point out the latest greatest, low cost, energy efficient PV collectors?
My power was only out for 6-10 hours or so. My cell phone worked for a bit but then the network went down for whatever reason.
So, I walk down the street to a pay-phone to make a call, cus whadda ya know, I'm all stocked up on blackout quarters.
New electronic Bell phones will not accept a quarter for a call when there is no power. I couldn't make a call in any way, or even get to the operator to make a collect call.
-The index is full of spam, worse than it has been in ages. Seriously. Not as bad as the new Yahoo, but still bad.
-The new 'redesign' has made the sponsored links on the right look more like search results to drive more money into their pockets.
-They are now one of the Internet's largest advertising agencies.
-The toolbar they use sends information back to google, and as harmless as you may think that is, they're lying about the uses already - personal experience statement
well, the latest generation of yunggins will go to high school with a server in their backpack - so, the popular kids will only let popular kids on their floating LAN, and the geeks will only let geeks on their (secure) floating LANs, and the... sigh. Our information will fall into a social class structure, and out of the independent, classless free access splendor it now enjoys in ignorance. Screw google, you need to access your clique's info db. The entire shape of the information world will shift. Heads will roll. lives will crumble. the paranoid social separation will inevitably drive us to despise one another and our tensions will climax in a bloody civil war, survived only by the computerless, country bumpkins. most likely.
what, you can't suggest new architectures for digital networks without a little paradigm shifting, and you can't have too much paradigm shifting without a little blood. what?
Here's a hint, your knowledge of math wont help you.
Point: You cannot learn everything from a textbook. Concepts such as time and space belong as much in the world of philosophy as they do physics. Mastering scale-invariant general relativity gets you nowhere in your understanding of why more information was exchanged with the person across the crowded room with two tenths of a second of eye contact, than there was in the five minute conversation you just had with your boss.
truss me. I hate technicalisations of philosophy, but occasionally I'm capable of appreciating them
deism, mysticism, quantum physics, and some young computer hacker, all together, THEN ID BE RICH
a young computer hacker is working quantum physics problems out in ummm, mod perl, and stumbles across a number, a special number, a wavelength - which, when your brainwave resonates in perfect fifth harmony with, you're able to slip through time - the young programmer realizes he has just discovered god, and it's a number.
Teoma.. alltheweb? phhh, no google is the one who needs to innovate, and they'll likely steal the ideas from teoma and allthewb to do it. Of course, Yahoo owns alltheweb, and altavista, and inktomi now.
google has neither a refine your search option, nor a resources section like Teoma, or the clusters option that alltheweb offers.
The fact of the matter is, Google is full of spam, while Teoma isn't. Teoma simply produces more relevant results. Google is old and busted.
30 bucks to submit a url? ummm ya, if you don't want a crawler to find you. I have hundreds of sites indexed in Teoma, never paid a cent. It cost that much to get into Inktomi too, if you do PFI. It will cost that much to do a PFI for the new Yahoo program also. Google is the only one without PFI, for now.
I have to ask, what innovation do you think google has actually provided? A pop-up blocking toolbar that siphons information? perdy cool.
slurp has been inktomi's name for years preceeding google.
all the google love in this place.. sheesh, the algo has fallen apart over the past year, teoma.com, alltheweb.com and now, likely, yahoo.com, will all provide better search results.
spammers love google for pr hyping their massive index, cus it keeps their huge cloaked spam sites in there just a little longer.
No need to be so warm & fuzzy with Google. That toolbar they distribute, that 'sends information back to google' -- well, SEOs have realized that you can view a web-page that google does not have indexed, with their toolbar installed, and a few minutes later the googlebot will come along.
Google claims they do not do this, and that sites are only indexed via incoming links. Privacy issues worthy of note. webmasterworld thread on the topic
Somebody isn't telling the truth, and I doubt it's the log files. Point is, left hand and right hand are not familiar with eachother, even in the land of making order from chaos, ye ole googleplex.

I'll get paid sometime next week. Thanks.
I dunno, set up filters?

wow.
But I thought that CERN invented the Internet
The google toolbar updates automatically without asking permission of the user.
Notice the elegant use of language on the software principles page that avoids implying there is anything wrong with this.
or something
without a special motherboard, yes.
I think you could string something like 4 voodoo rush cards together or something (who knows if you got 4x performance, but I'm sure it went up not down)
Problem was, by the time they put this out there, the tech it was running was months behind cutting edge. 4x something old is easily forgotten.
But don't you know girl... you'll be a woman soon?
now that's offtopic overkill.

This is a DSPless implimentation, but DSP (digital signal processing) works well.
For about 1.5k, you can buy a digital amp that does all of this, and more, with a pickup fitted to your guitar.
