  1. Re:You are wrong on Millions of Addresses, Thousands of Sites, One Business · · Score: 1

    Usually they don't, for a simple reason - SE results in google a result of incoming links. It is impossible to effectively promote 10,000-60,000 sites in order to get decent SE placement within the first three pages, specially for niches popular enough to generate type-in traffic.

  2. You are wrong on Millions of Addresses, Thousands of Sites, One Business · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You are wrong in your first assumption - the domains are bought from an already popular niche. This isn't gambling or cybersquatting
    And regarding clicking - you probably assume that others do as you do - But this isn't true - these sites enjoy around a 15% CTR, and actually it creates a win-win situation. The users, instead of getting a name error (useless), click an advertisement which is often relevant to their initial request, the target site gets a visitor (which is targeted due to the initial related type-in), and the owner of the site gets some money from google. Nobody is scammed, everyone are happy and get exactly what they want. The user- a relevant site, google and publisher get paid, and the target site gets a well targeted visitor.

  3. Or.. This could be an opinoin on Fast Navigating Guessing Robots · · Score: 1

    Not every radical opinion is a Flame bait or a Troll
    Not every too pro-American or too anti-American opinion is a flamebait or a troll. It usually is a genuine opinion.
    People may have unpopular opinions, and might even post such opinions in public (omg !), disregarding the retarded "we must stick to the middle of the road" mentality. Moderation is not about telling people what you think of their opinion.

  4. This must be the "Embrace" step. on Dell Partners with MS/Novell for Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    Ok, Microsoft always seems cute during the "Embrace" step of the plan. The other two are the fun ones though.

  5. The chances of... on Internet2 Taken Out by Stray Cigarette · · Score: 1

    The chances of Internet2 being taken out by a single cigarette are 09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 to 1.

  6. The right thing VS the truely right thing on OLPC to Run Windows, Come to the US · · Score: 1

    The right thing to do would be shipping 100$ per laptop, with open source software package and a Linux distro.
    The really right thing to do would be shipping this laptop with software that is being used by 95% of the worlds users , effectively giving people the skills needed to operate the tools that are used by the majority of people in the developed world. (no this isn't flaimbait)

  7. This isn't fair use on Fair Use In Scientific Blogging · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is not about fair use or commentary/research - The blog is commercial, filled with ads and other goodies. Her blog post generates revenue, and is not just shown to a classroom for educational purposes. This isn't about scientific blogging.

  8. Re:What they don't understand is that on MPAA Committed To Fair Use and DRM · · Score: 1

    That's just an empty slogan. Tell me why Digital Rights Management can't include Fair Use by design ?

  9. Re:But it costs money! on gTalk To Get Video Boost? · · Score: 1

    Voice recognition + relevant ads could be quite a sick idea...

  10. Thats bullshit on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: 1

    Just read the article . The source pretty much uses itself for reference.
    I am not a big fan of Vista, but I assure you, that considering the amount of major corporations' development centers in China, a whole lot more than 244 were sold.
    Niether source nor content make much sense.

  11. Classic Argument actually on Bloggers Propose Code of Conduct · · Score: 1

    Sacrificing the right for anonymity in order to increase the security of bloggers that don't need it.
    NOT a good idea.

  12. GWoman on Julianne Moore to play Dana Scully · · Score: 1

    By Google.

  13. Shouldn't this be obvious ? on CA Proposes Rigorous Voting Machine Testing · · Score: 1

    These are VOTING machnies , the machines' output decide the faiths of millions, these should be the most tested and highly secured systems on the planet. I never really understood how could anyone agree to lower standards on this.

  14. You fucking IDIOTs on Delphi For PHP Released · · Score: 0, Troll

    Who the hell modded me Flamebait ?
    This is an opinion of a person that actually wrote in PHP and .NET, and I live in Israel and am actually familiar with Zend.
    Yes, Java is an alternative to .NET . No , PHP isn't.
    Only on slashdot you can find Anti-MS kids running WinXP modding comments about technologies they dont understand.

  15. You kidding me. .NET alternative ? on Delphi For PHP Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    With all due respect , .NET is a great platform for enterprise-level development. PHP, no matter how you flip it or manage it , isn't . Zend is not big enough to develop and patch a platform that can compete with Microsoft's flagship.
    Cheers

  16. The Email Address of This Annoying Woman on Archive.org Sued By Colorado Woman · · Score: 1

    Her email is
    dsshell@ix.netcom.com
    Quite frankly, I hate your American hobby if suing everyone. She reminds me of that woman that sued Google for kicking her out of Adsense after shit generated revenue by clicking her own ads.

  17. Re:Where do they find the assholes... on Homeland Security Tests Snoop Computer System · · Score: 2

    There is no "consensus" in the tech community about "open" and "privacy". There is one on Slashdot, but I assure you that this is far from the real world situation.
    Projects such are these are FUN. They pose a great challenge and you get to shape the system as you wish, as very often the project goals are dictated by people that have no idea how to implement it, so developers dictate the budget and the actual implementation.
    Most people get over the ideological technology crap after a certain age.

  18. The GDRIVE on Google Releases Paper on Disk Reliability · · Score: 2, Interesting

    About a year and a half ago, a presentation by Google concerning a massive online storage service called GDrive , was leaked . It was pretty much confirmed that it is on some level operational . The study might have something to do with it , maybe even so kind of clever PR . Just my 2c.

  19. -Yahoo Exec No longer Works at Yahoo- on Yahoo Music Chief Comes Out Against DRM · · Score: 1

    http://news.com.com/2061-10811_3-6158998.html?part =rss&tag=2547-1_3-0-20&subj=news/
    He no longer works at Yahoo. Besides , David Goldberg (The exec) has been very vocal on this issue for over a year , so this actually might be the reason why he and his buddy "look forward to going back to our entrepreneurial roots" as was stated in Yahoo's press release .

  20. FYI , Slashdot looks broken under IE7 on Walmart Rejects Firefox and Safari · · Score: 1

    Just FYI , Slashdot looks broken under IE7 .
    While I use FF at home, and I haven't noticed any problems with it , I use IE7 at work , and there are plenty of CSS positioning problems in IE7 . While standards are cute and important and all , sites are created for users , not webmasters .

  21. It was allready done in Israel on Your House Is About To Be Photographed · · Score: 1

    There is a company in Israel , Zoomap, that has actually done it to all the buildings in Israel . You can just type in any address in Israel and it will take you to a picture of that building. Hope this link works for you - its an example

  22. Re:Duh on Vista a Threat to Internet Freedom? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You can easily choose to be rich, or choose to be a successful scientist or anything else . It's only a matter of will . Personally I am against both democracy and capitalism , but as long as the system is flexible , anyone can be anything in it .

  23. No . Actually on Vista a Threat to Internet Freedom? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Freedom and Equality don't mix . Freedom is being free to be better than the person next to you . Be it science, power, wealth or sports.
    Freedom is ambition.
