Sending? A line of code that will take me to a site where I will look at more ads is considered them "sending" to me? I don't think so.
This way, they double dip. I don't care; I ignore them (that was my final statement, which you helpfully omitted.
I do find it interesting that out of the 40 or so feeds I subscribe to, only Slashdot has the audacity -- or as you probably call it,
inventiveness and entrepreneurial spirit -- to actually put an ad image in with the feed.

Submission + - Organism Survives 100 Million Years Without Sex

zyl0x writes: The Times has an interesting article online on the discovery of a 100-million-year-old micro-organism which as survived its entire lifespan without sex. From the article:

A tiny creature that has not had sex for 100 million years has overturned the theory that animals need to mate to create variety. Analysis of the jaw shapes of bdelloid rotifers, combined with genetic data, revealed that the animals have diversified under pressure of natural selection. Researchers say that their study "refutes the idea that sex is necessary for diversification into evolutionary species".
I'm not too sure about these bdelloid's, but I doubt any human being could last the first 100 years.

gubby writes: "For those of you feeling adventurous, I happened upon a javascript virus at zeenews.com today which bypasses IE7 safegaurds, Windows OneCare and erases the MBR as far as I can tell. Symantec doesn't have it listed yet and it appears to work just as well with XP. Any further details are appreciated as I am at work and cannot pursue this right now."

Submission + - One Nerd's Search for Masculinity

Kent Brewster writes: "In 4th grade, a little girl named Tina Palmer beat a boy named Todd Lehr in the championship round of an arm wrestling competition in gym class. 25 years later, still haunted by his defeat, Todd has challenged Tina to a rematch. With his pride and manhood on the line, can Todd pull enough strength to claim victory, or will Tina crush him as she's done before?"
