I wonder if Google keeps track of whether or not a particular user has
javascript enabled and charges advertisers different rates, based on
the 'quality' of the prospective customer from an advertisers point of

aggrevation of dealing with Linux users. ;-0 Maybe some advertisers
might actually want a refund. I feel so sorry for Google! So, so sorry!
