The deal your informally entering into with Slashdot is that in order to pay for your request taking up thier resources you are served an advert. If you don't like this 'deal' then you shouldn't request the content. Slashdot probably isn't the best example - I think they expect a lot of ad blocking (considering who there audience is) and so their business model probably takes that more into account than other sites might (which is why you can subscribe to slashdot and get a few perks besides not seeing ads).

As a final note, as a result of this conversation, I decided to check out the subscription price at slashdot, at $5 (£2.62) I ended up buying one... decide for yourself what that says about me. Vijay.
