 | 1984 is one of my favorite books. It's crazy how it became such a major part of pop culture that people will quote it and yet never even know they're quoting a book or that such a book exists at all. Down with data mining! Big Brother is watching! What's … |

| | If a thread has been answered already, it can be marked as solved, and a note gets added encouraging people to start new threads instead of hijacking the thread. If a thread hasn't been solved, I don't see any reason why future people couldn't have something valuable to contribute. Even … |

| | I am of the belief that Google doesn't OWE us traffic. We should appreciate them and thank them for the free traffic that they are gracious enough to send to us. If they want us to do certain things (such as taking down our paid links that negatively affect the … |

| | Check your privacy preferences. Otherwise, check firewalls. |
| | CPM rates are usually between $2 and $200. :) A 14% CTR is extraordinarily high, but it all depends upon the type of content on the page and how sticky the site is.  |

| | Is it possible to make an entire [INLINECODE]<div>[/INLINECODE] into a hyperlink using CSS only, as can be easily accomplished with mouse events in JavaScript? I'm assuming it's too good to be true since CSS isn't interactive? Nevermind ... I guess I just answered my own question :( |
| | My new laser printer is already out of toner, so after overnighting some, I am eagerly awaiting the delivery (it's a multifunction machine, and I actually have a contract that was faxed to me stuck in the machine and waiting to be printed out!) So of course that's what I …  |
| | Where I live, tap water is practically undrinkable. I know a couple of people who get sick on it, and it has a very bad bitter taste and lingering aftertaste. Not only that, but everytime I draw a bath, the water is very noticably green. It's obviously not just me …  |
