They probably figure anyone reading something about server platforms is probably a stereotypical fat IT dOOd that lives on cheetos and Mt Dew and could probably use some dietary supplements...

The phrase "server platform" linking to "EcoPure Coral Calcium" supplement particularly tickles my funny bone... for no reason I can discern. Seems I odder than even I knew. Then again it could be the lack of sleep due to this pesky Swine Flu outbreak (I work for a Public Health Department - this is the first few free moments I've had in 3 days). I'm thinking of leaving the country until it all blows over... maybe Dan will let me sleep on his floor. ;) I love the other random links in the source article.

This was swiftly followed by, "Hang on, I have the NoScript addon installed, I shouldn't be seeing that!" Then the penny dropped. And I, too, wonder how these companies stay afloat. I suspect that they're propped up by the companies that sell services in the genre of "How to make $$$ selling stuffs on teh intarwebs!"

I've never seen like an ad for new motherboards or computer hardware; the closest I've ever seen was in a forum thread about linux binaries, where there was an ad for a binary LED clock. I've also seen entire five-page-long reviews of computer hardware with five or six Intellitxt ads that were all to do with life insurance. Ads can't be relevant if there aren't any ads selling relevant things, but they're still forced to be there like <a href="http://www.badbillboardproject.com/mistakes/dont-give-teenagers-alcohol-but-if-you-do-make-it-a-bud-light.html" rel="nofollow">badly placed</a> billboards. PS. The CAPTCHA *and* forcing people to register to leave a comment? Is your blog spam really that bad? :P <i>[The posting setup for this blog isn't something I'm especially proud of.
