You're right. But on most of those pages it's also just temporary links. Or large archive sites that archive everything slashdot ever posted.
Static links on a page get _much_ more of the boost (naturally), a site with thousands of subpages also has less pr to divide.
He's trying to spam, he's succeding in making slashdot eds look bad, is he gaining more search engine boost? Perhaps. Is it much? Probably not. Is he getting quite some traffic from angry slashdotters making his statistics look better? Most likely. Is the traffic he's getting even "close" to what we use to call a "slashdotting"? No, definatly not. Will he become rich of this sceme? No. Would his time be better invested making a better page instead of submitting stories to slashdot? Most likely.
Those are my thoughts. Most of them are backed with my own experiences as a webmaster, and also as a submitter.
Someone, please, call the 911-GET-A-CLUE. We have a man down!
This is googles cache of slashdot, as you might notice it is quite old. Now that doesn't really hold any proof for how often google actually _indexes_ the frontpage, but according to my own "research" I'd say it's no more often than every twelve hours. Now, what does this mean?
Every twelve hour googles comes to download the frontpage and finds a link to beatles-beatles homepage. What does it do? It looks on the older copies of slashdot.org and finds what? That it isnt there! It's a temporary link. No consistency. Does that mean it gets a even share of that juicy pr9 pagerank? No it doesnt. It means it hardly gets any pr.
So please, do us all a favor, go read up on the theories on pagerank and then, please please please, stay with the uninformed designer mac-zealots over at digg.com
I doubt it helps much, it's only on the front page for a couple of hours, the archived pages doesnt have that much of pr. I've tried it myself, I'm not rich yet:)
The cost of killing iraqis does not count in the "giving" column. America is WAY beyond per capita on all terms. The nordic countries are the only ones close to meeting UN standards on national aid.
Slash ate my formatting.. For my pictures I simple use camera\-\*. I end up with a sortable list of directories by date that I can also quickly use to localize a certain happening.
90% of the time I only use ctrl-c and ctrl-v. Thats what I use explorer for. Filtering? Sure that's nice, but I dont keep that many files in my directories.

Most of my stuff is organised in this way, my project-folder is simply sitting on my desktop with subdirectories for every project I have or currently is working on.
Sure, I sometimes use filtering with midnight command on my live projects where I have thousands of files in a directory.. but never on my workstation. If you need to have previews to see what kind of content a file contains I think your problem is with your naming scheme really..
.. but I really dislike all the "managers", picasa, nero, hell, I _stopped_ using ACDSee when it became to cluttered (in favor of irfanview ofcourse).
Frankly I just dont see the advantage of having one heavyloading utility for each aspect of your work. Explorer does it's work, if I wanted more power on my workstations I'd be slapping Linux on them where I have amazing powers at my tooltip with some help by perl and bash.
And for the shameless plugging of his own article I can only say: tsk tsk.
Sweden had a very measurable effect from Chernobyl. Namely all the wild game, fish and berries etc that was rendered worthless after being exposed to radioactive rain.
Then ofcourse, nobody knows if it really would have been that hazardous to eat, but there certainly was a economic effect from it.
Amen to that brother. Basically using Ajax boils down to ONE command, namely the one to retrieve data from the (same) server the script is hosted on. How this changes things radically - I fail to see.
I really like Ajax, it makes a bunch of web-applications more useful. In search dialogs you can prefetch search results, in forms you can suggest alternatives. You can automatically load stuff on a page without submitting it in the background while the user is viewing the page.
Whenever there is a point in implementing stuff like it, I try to use it, to enchance my users experience. It's a very natural step.
However, when Microsoft representatives claim they should base their entire buisness of this, it's nothing but hype and grave misunderstandings of what Ajax can and will do.
Sure, it's great and all, but it'll never change the way the web works. Improve it, yes. Change it? No. You can build as large js-applications as you wish (and yes, spend exponentially as much time debugging them) - you will never escape the fact that you're just building hacks around a stateless technology from pre 90's.
Dude, I'm not "worried" about americans doing this, hardly worth it.
What I'm worried about (as a swede) is that googles reputation on the net will fall and my revenue as a publisher. But sure, MSN and Y! are getting their stuff togheter anyday now..
I cant believe how lame this idea is by Google. There will be a complete feast of recruiting over at forums such as DigitalPoint etc. I can easily see how people will try to divide their income into as many accounts they can possible create to get that 100 bucks for a signup.
So lame. So 1996. Go google, king of pyramid-schemes.
Isn't it more like the above and this: IT Consultant (two weeks later): Hey guys, why are we using a $10.000,00 solution for storing 100 rows? There's two perfectly working opensource solutions for free.. While you guys to fetch the pizzas I'll merge our database..

Because he scammed the scammers. Not because he got a free camera or whatever. Just because he deliberatly made them suffer because they are a-holes.
Awesome. I salute you for this brilliant scheme!

You sure? Take a look at this ;). html

iPod did not ship with "few" problems. They're at like revision eight now.

Hey hey, spain != mechiko.
So I guess we'll have to only release it in the rest of the world then...
ICQ! MSN is for kiddies.
I dont know anyone using AIM here (Sweden).

The "giving away all your money to steve jobs"-lifestyle?
Did it ever occur to you that it perhaps was $sys$company and thus never noticed?
