Instead of advertising, Slashdot could ask for money every now and then. I could send in my payment, and maybe get a nifty mug or t-shirt in return? Oh, and you could post that JPEG of CowboyNeal sitting in the phone room waiting for pledges. ("A pledge of one hundred dollars gets you this nifty CmdrTaco Tote Bag!")
I sypathize with your "Other Half" - I've had a similar experience with American Airlines' flight information service. You call it to find out when a flight is arriving. My conversation went something like this:
Computer: Where is your flight arriving?
Me: Dallas
Computer: When is your flight arriving?
Me: six p.m.
Computer: When is your flight arriving?
Me: SIX P.M.
Computer: When is your flight arriving?
Me: six o'clock
Computer: When is your flight arriving?
Me: six
etc.etc.
