Can we set up a prize of some source? I don't know if there's a such thing as an OS development prize... And we sure as hell can't give Dex and the other super-developers code xD

What about a prize of random bits of old (or new) hardware so they can test their OS on them. People could just add something to the pool and then send it to an address chosen by the winner

Likewise, but with a twist.

Okay, now who doesn't want to WIN!? These tokens are *awesome*.

I'll donate to anyone who plays WoW on the Shu'Halo server as a Horde character 25 gold. 5 for second place and one free instance run (under lvl 45) for third.

The cost on shipping would likely out value the cost of the parts at your local dump (walmart.)

what does the CDplayer with clock? nothing for me. and if i look in the code, it doesn't play any CD. why everybody voted it? if i would know more asm, i would make a BMP viewer. or some nifty VBE thing.

Yeah, changeable vote is definitely not a good idea.

I enabled it because you could change your opinions, since there are 9 entries and one may be better than the another. And since you've already had the time to choose, only non-voters ATM are now able to vote.
