"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Roughly one-trillionth of what is available, I'd imagine.  :P

You know Sambo, I get that you want to win these competitions you post about, but you do realize they're totally, 100% spam, right? Other users would probably get threads like this locked and link stripped. :doubt:

the "we aren't trying to spam" line in the contest post tickled me. 

don't spam, but totally put this all over facebook, twitter, and your other forums.
I like to stare at the sun.

So this post of yours? It's 100% pure, natural spam. As such, I've redacted the link.

Yeah, sorry Sandwich, but I have to agree.  Companies that use this type of incentive for contests are being assholes, and we shouldn't take them up on it.

So had I worded my post more like "anyone need more HDD space?", would it have been more acceptable? Just curious...

no, because you would still have been link spamming
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

If the link had gone to some ridiculously good offer on newegg or something, it would have been fine I suppose. As it stands, it was a link to a forum post that was a pretty blatant attempt at generating links to that site in return for the (rather slim) chance to win a couple HDDs.
