Or savvy slashdot editors can link to the cacheified version. Providing it works since their page has not yet come up for me. not sure if I trust that to much.
True. But you can then trace the money. If he authorizes a mail server via reverse DNS then he obviously has a relationship with the owners of the IP (ie a customer) so he must be paying. ie there is a trace back to the originator. Can't be anonymous anymore.
Yes google runs IDE. The also run low end boxes in general. They just run 5000 of them mirrored. If they loose 10 or 20 machines just throw in new ones.
Do you expect to go to the supermarket and take apples without paying?
The sites that run banners don't charge you for access. They cover their costs and make a little money (fuck why shouldn't they you do at your job right) with banner ads. By you not seeing the banner your stealing.
Now their is the flip side of this in that some of the ad companies out their are just plain evil. Hidden 3rd party cookies, Popups, and fat DHTML that get in the way are over the line.
I block 3rd party cookies but don't block banner ads since that's the sites bread and butter.
Believe it or not their are still ad driven websites that make money. They just don't have 450,000 employees.
The think that always gets me when I read fucks at fuckedcompany.com is the number of people that worked at some of these dot coms. Did you every ask yourself "What did all these people do for 8 hours a day?".
Smaller dot coms still survive fine off ad revenue. It's just not as fat as it use to be:)
The way I can see them doing this is not client side but checking to see if you also downloaded the banners. If you machine did not download the banner then their is really no way you could see it.
Client side ie Javascript, Java etc would really be pointless since it would only be a couple days before a personal proxy server is out that will trick that.
Have you ever heard of "Roldex" yup they sell watches. What about Niki (shoes). Timdex (watches again). The list goes on and on. These guys are trying to confuse. GAIM?! I don't think so. They are right along with GNapster, GICQ, GFTP, GNUMERIC etc etc.

What's your definition of SPAM? 10 people in a room would probably define SPAM 10 different ways.
For example?

Just my 2 cents.
