This guy made $1,000,000 in less then Four Months.
http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/

Then Hackers demanded $5000 or they would hit him with DOS Attacks, which they did. They they demanded $50,000 to stop.
He didn't pay a dime.

$1 per pixel - Sold in 100 pixel blocks.

I saw that awhile back when he had like 300,000. What a great idea. Of course for every one idea like this that works theres thousands that never worked.

People paid $1 a pixel to put their ads on his page. He eventually collected one million. Absolutely amazing.

Yeah, he was trying to raise money to go to college.

Huh. Take half of that money and invest it wisely. By the time he's done with college, he'll have probably tripled his original investment. And I'd say that with this on his resume, it's going to be extremely hard not to get a job. Fortune 500 companies will be breakin' down his door.
