They pay "per click" assuming people who click on their ads will be interested in their *cough* services.
Let's assume they are charged a dollar a click by Google, and 1/10th of Slashdot's readership clicks on the links once per day... That's 25,000 dollars a day that the spammers are paying Google. Over a year, that's a heck of a lot of money, and they won't see a dime for their advertising.
Offtopic I know, but I've got "excellent" karma to burn...
why say Y2K+2 requiring 5 key presses, and 3 shift key presses, when it only required 4 keypresses total to type 2002?
I've seen this year written as 2K2 which is kinda cool, but adding in more stuff just takes more time to type. So why do it? So you look like a 1337 h4x0r?
too many exlamation points to be informative... and your karma is so low, you're posting at 0, which is below the default threshold.. sorry, Gabe, you're toast.

Slashdotium is a compound, formed in the reaction of a troll dipped in flamebait, while compressed under the tremendous pressure of 250,000 mice all clicking on the same phrase in a story, thereby destroying the site thus linked.
The compound is usually responsible for melting down servers (unless they're powered by Linux running on a Game Boy or C64!)
It gets worse than that... I used to see the blocks come together in the words of books I was reading at the time.. I would lose sight of the meaning of the text, and just see the falling blocks.
Going down isn't the problem. If the shuttle were geosynchronous, no problem.. if you had space suit, you could make the jump no problem (well, very little problem)..
But the shuttle is also moving around the earth VERY quickly.. something like 17,000 kph (feel free to correct me), which would kill you pretty much instantly when you encountered the atmosphere, and had to slow down your sideways speed.

Polio didn't kill the mice... the scientists were just careless and injected the saline solution into the mice's spinal cords, causing paralysation, and then death.
Bah, how did that get modded down as "troll"? That was even funnier than the original article, and more truthful, too!

How true is that?

The omni alerts you that there's an open node nearby, then you flip on the directional, and rotate it around until you find the signal. That way you can be sure to not miss anything, like if you were just driving around with a rotating directional
Note: I don't know how big these nodes are, having never played with wifi (I'm poor, still living in a cat5 world) so you may be able to rotate the directional fast enough as your driving to not miss anything.
That DMCasA scares me... is my Neimann-Marcus(sp?) cookie recipe open source? I paid $300.00 for it, I should have the right to modify the source code to add features that weren't in the original... walnuts, for example. Would I have to pay more money for the Walnut source code?
Simple: He let someone else direct Episodes five (ESB) and six (RotJ). If he had continued that trend, only producing and guiding the prequels, perhaps they would have been a lot better than they were.
Look at how much better the sequels were than the original... I have a feeling the director had a large part in that difference. Lucas can't direct. Period.
Side thought... Maybe Kevin Smith (of Clerks fame) should be given the chance to direct Episode Three....
I talk daily (or almost) to people in several different countries. chatting on IRC or ICQ is a heck of a lot cheaper than calling them.. and it's much more difficult to arrange a conference call than to just idle on IRC waiting for someone to show up.

No, but I'm willing to pay that EACH for the 5 stations I watch... (CNN, Sci/Fi, Comedy Central, TNN, and Fox)
I can do without the other hundred and some-odd channels.

You could hold 500 bazillion 1:1 scale maps of Texas on a single disk.

Just call 867-5309, and ask for Jenny.
Now I bet *THAT* one has never been tried before.
Tee hee.
Nah, the 50 FBI agents that were tapping this number were all busy grabbing the pirate out of his parents' house.
It's safe to call the number now. (:

False alarm, nothing to see here...
Click here and change the category from "none" to "criminal skills". Don't let your children (or cow-orkers) visit a criminal orgainization!
Batman: Bane broke my back all those years ago, and I can still beat up badguys with the best of them! I just had to take a little break.. heh heh.
Superman: Enough with the bad jokes! Nobody gave you a kryptonite wheelchair.
Batman: That's because I'm rich and powerful, and can afford the best, while you're just a pansie who thinks he can fly.
Superman: I coud fly... and you're the one named after a flying rat. Why can't you get off the ground without help?
Batman: At least I can get out of bed without help.
And so on....

I guess it still needs some work.
Maybe you should have both on your car.

Sigh, I'm so confused!
less orchestra, more violins and children singing "la la la la, la la la la"
As Tracy Morgan said in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, "Miramax accounts for 74% of my business!"
What he left unsaid was that Lucasarts accounts for the other 26%. (:
