    Folks, Mr. Om is mounting a formidable challenge this evening. It's even possible he's found a way to write a voting script.

    Your votes are needed.

    Here's the link:

    http://www.valleywag.com/tech/polls/web-2ooh-semifinals-om-malik-vs-chris-macaskill-195072.php

    And here's a hint: turn off your cookies and you can vote more than once. Open two tabs and you can cast 100 votes in mere minutes. naughty.gif

    Say that again! :uhoh

    As I was busy casting votes with each of the browsers I have, Baldy's percentage of the overall vote was going backwards big time.

    He needs all the help he can get. mwink.gif

    I just tried a GoogleFight. Oh No!
    And it doesn't look good for Baldy.

    :D

    Of course I was. I am aware of the voting link listed at the front of this thread - and contributed my support for Baldy early on (and not that other dude, whoever he is). I wanted to search out other sources on this popularity contest. Note: GoogleFight is for entertainment purposes only.

    I have an automated voting script (windows only atm) here

    If some people hav some spare bandwidth and cpu cycles it would be greatly appreciated. Also, you can run multiple copies of the script.

    Cheers,

    I wonder if they've been dragging this thing out because they think it's been generating extra traffic for their site, traffic they hope to monetize?
