Unless you mean offer an adfree service for money and ads for free, I don't think anyone would actually pay to then be shown ads, at least anyone with some sense.
As far as I am aware, AOL has been doing this for quite awhile...
That may very well be true, the reason I was so certain he is a deist is because so many deists agree with him (he's quoted repeatedly on various, including the official, deist websites).
It is hard to tell the religion of a person, especially one that is not around.
What Einstein theorised in his young and mid life was highly contovertial, and was highly criticized before (and after) he had proven it. As for the hypothesis-experiment practice of science, it get pretty shady (some may even go as far as to say 'flawed') when you venture in the realm of quantum physics. Contradictory ideas (light is a particle AND light is a wave) can be simultaneously validated by experiments.
As far as quantum mechanics goes, all of Einstein's beliefs, and a lot of the spiritual foundation for his research are summed up in his famous words 'God does not roll dice.'
I do have a question for you though, one that may reveal the fundament of our disagreement: had Einstein not lived, would science now, 125 years after his birth gotten nearly as far as he had single-handedly brought it? Would physicists have gotten to a theory of relativity without him?
Forgive me if I don't resort to personal insults, I was never good at those...
Why hasn't someone set up a second internet over the main one, where IP allocation is dynamic, and untracable? You're only tracable through your IP address, so if you get allocated a random one, and routing still works, and you throw in a little IPsec, voila.
What was presented that makes this case different? Just because its on the internet? There seems to be this overwheleming need to make laws to cover things that already exisit just because it is now online. We have too many laws at it is.
Everything about it is different. The argument you are referring to was effectively used in defense of Sharman Networks (the creators of Kazaa). It related to the creation of p2p networks (gnutella, freenet, etc.), NOT the question at hand: the subpoena power of the RIAA under the DMCA, which is what this case is about.
Both relate to p2p, but in completely different ways.
And that's what seperated you (and me) from our kids (or our kid's kids). Just like my parents/grandparents don't understand and don't want much to do with computers, we don't want much to do with interfacting them with our own biology...

PS. I know he's not the richest man anymore, but he's still damned rich :)
Selling software wont make you money, selling a service will.
Yeah, that's why Bill Gates is actually a bum disguised as the richest man on earth.
Assembly is great because you can kill any linux system you got ssh access to using assembly.
If only you had said "any Windows system", you would have gotten +5 insightful w/o a second thought.

In those senses, I agree with you. I'd only add that Einstein seems to me very clearly a deist, and most definately not an anteist.

Few scientists agree with him on that nowadays.
Few scientists agreed with him when he made his first discoveries also.
i'd substitute the word 'feeling' for 'intuition'... the same intuition that led him to his discoveries. I cannot agree with him more.
(Score:5, Insightful) for saying "Yeah, I agree" oh slashdot, oh slashdot... :-P
Einstein considered himself very religious.
Are you actually suggesting that "instead of juvenile rants" /. produces some "intelligent proposals" with a straight face?

Something like this?
it is rare that one sees a correct SR joke (one that makes sense). good job :)
you nitwits
"If Google really was offered $10 billion by Microsoft and turned it down, then they were stupid."
Not at all: the two google IPO estimates I've seen are $12b and $15b.
"Closed source products have no business in government (or really anywhere for that matter) and should be outlawed."
:)
What an amazing quote. So typical of slashdot, but with the well presented arguemnt it makes sense.
that's so disgusting

There are 16.7 million addresses per square metre of the earth's surface, including the oceans. This is overkill.
That's untill nanotech comes up with microscopic airborne routers/servers...
both links are from '99... :-p
seems like very old news to me
-1?
has there ever been a clearer example?
cuz ausie ladies are hottt

it's down.
