Yes, but you will pass something like ?yourid=234230840-29840239840298 in the url. If you put a banner on your website you want the clicks to be coming from different IPs. You aren't going to get credit by clicking your banner over and over again from the same IP. Uniques are what's important. As you say, ad servers do have some measure of intelligence.
Anyone have a Perl script to generate click throughs automatically
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (1) {
my $a = int rand (255) + 1;
my $b = int rand (255) + 1;
my $c = int rand (255) + 1;
my $d = int rand (255) + 1;
`wget --referer-url=$a.$b.$c.$d http://whoever.com/ads`;
It's all about conversions. Bad CTR to conversion ratios will be noticed and addressed. Anyone who advertises online and does not monitor such stats is foolish.

It's never easier to hardcode constants right into the middle
No offense, but never say never. Coding in part is about adapting and simplifying and sometimes, sometimes, it is easier and better to hard code something than to make it elegant.
What, the shitty merchandise, disgusting customers, dirty stores and appalling customer service isn't enough? Any one of those alone would stop me from shopping anywhere.
What part of free don't you understand? Other than all that free as in budwieser and Free as in America fries or whatever they keep blathering on about the different types of free here at Slashdot. Now I'm confused too.
To all who visit the dilbert website regularly, has anyone seen that floating ad that blocks the last panel of the strip? I have seen it about 5 times and I read the site daily. I use NS7.2 and have not seen a popup ad anywhere since I started using it. I assume this ad is some sort of CSS. This type of advertising is not pop up, but it is certainly annoying. What's to stop other websites from doing something similar? It might require more than pasting some banner code in your page, but still...
Most people don't have interest in what's real and actual data. They want it condensed into a 5 minute visit to an exhibit. That condenstation often requires simplifying. Look at any blockbuster movie that has science in it. It's the same thing.
Most people here already have that covered. Now, if they'd only clean up the basement like their mothers keep asking they can be free of both parental harassment and goverment spying.

Non-profits can be abused. Many non-profit charities pay their CEO's millions in salary and bonuses. I seem to remember the CEO of United Way getting paid something $25 million a while back. Non-profits can pretty much do anything they want with their money. Large paychecks, bonuses, wasteful spending, whatever... Anyway, just being non-profit does not make it a bastion of integrity.
Learning more and more languages/technologies/protocols
In my opinion, a mile wide/inch deep skillset gets you nowhere. If a resume passed my desk with 50 million skills and 5 years total experience, I am going to question that resume right to the circular file. But maybe that's just me.

No. This will set the referrer to a random IP

What exactly does this book have that is not available at W3schools.com?
A referer link?
......I truly don't understand why anyone is still using tags........
Because sometimes <font color=red>xxxx</font> is easier than defining and importing a style sheet.
Google engineer reading your post: OH SHIT!

Worst. Word. Ever.
They censor CDs that have explicit lyrics without any on-the-package indication. Yet, they sell guns? Seems like two sets of values to me.
Please explain what the one has to do with the other.
RFID tags: another reason to hate Wal-Mart.

Manalapan has a population of 321. It's probably just some guy with a pair of binoculars.
how much money does it cost to use?

Does anyone know what you have to do to get the NVidia 3d accelerated drives working?
Edit your XF86Config file (correctly.)
I have a Veyron you insensitive clod!
Modding your 1982 Pinto doesn't count.
Yes.

Yeah, those sell a hell of lot better than the "I went to Chernobyl and all I got was thyroid cancer" t-shirts.
