Do you remember when some guy created that web page with a million pixels where he sold 1 pixel for one dollar? It became world famous across the media.
In which year did this happened?
I remember seeing the page in 1999 just before the turn of the century. It was a hallmark of the crazy things that only happened on the Internet and a piece of history for early Internet adoption.
Now I see on the online media that this event happened in 2005. Which doesn't make sense as the Internet had become much more common by then and Google was already established. If you remember, before Google it was common to visit sites with listings of other websites on a given topic so you could find something. And the million dollar pixel page was a clever take on that concept.
But now, even the logos on that page are different, no references to geocities and there's a big casino logo on the left side that wasn't there before.
My first thought was that I was visiting a second version of the pixel wall but this one seems to be the only version. I'm so puzzled how an artifact from the early Internet slided into 2005.
Does anyone else around here remembers the same?

As for it showing up again, tons of people thought they could do the same thing just tt make a quick buck but no one bought into it as deep as the first guy

we learned this in 1st year compsci in 2012 and to be fair to you, it seemed to happen way before 2005, his website looked shitty and the companies who bought pixels were old as shit
anyway, my mandela is eurasia, its hard to explain but I was taught that Eurasia = Europe + parts of north asia, not all of asia, yet now Eurasia contains all lf asia including brown slanty-eyed Asians which were NOT eurasian when i was growing up.
eurasia used to be Europe + part of north africa + part of middle east + russia + all ussr states + all stans except pakis + part of asia but NOT where they start to look asian, only the caucasian ones
eurasia used to just be the white caucasian and medit countries but NO pakis or gooks pretty much just europe and ussr, but now it includes all them asians which are totally different from eurasians. I am european and Eurasian because i like russia and other caucasians and stans, i am NOT eurasian with pakis, gooks and fucking indians.
