Heh, just noticed they added a captcha (go recaptcha!).

Got my vote. We're by a lot. Don't know how much, too lazy to do the math.

Remember, WWGD? (What would Grandma Do?)

I'm sure a lot of people already said they've used computer labs to vote multiple times. The only difference in a macro is that it automatically votes and doesn't require another computer, plus one vote on the macro takes like 20s because of the speed of the voter. I only tested it to see if the macro would work. i ensure you that people have repeat voted more than the macro voted. I did it for 3 votes (4 if you include setting up the macro). Not to mention that the other organizations have probably used one (i think one went from like 500 to like 10,000 in a night). plus i just checked and they added a macro preventer, so it should be even now

EDIT: And i was surprised when they didn't put the macro preventer in the first place, based on that it's internet voting giving money to technology skilled kids

Wow Build On is now in third. Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship shot forward quite a bit. We are still up by about 8500.

Now this was an interesting Capcha...

Very appropriate I'd say.

For the Education catagory for the $200,000 FIRST is in the lead, 45% to 20%. See this thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=85987

By the way, all three charities ended up getting the $9000.

Grumble... OK, it's a good thing for the other two, but then if we had known, we'd have expended our energy elsewhere.

Well, $9k is 9k, so no complaints here.

It's one way to get 57,000 hits on a web site.
