AbsoluteVista's winner announced: Derek Hunter. I preferred the runner-up's stories though, Derek's was somewhat... dry. http://absolutevista.com/blogs/absolutevista/ -------------------- "If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it.

Heh... well I guess some rules are open to interpretation.  There was someone that claimed they sent in 1800 entries.  Talk about being extremely creative.

QUOTE(skyfuser @ May 9 2008, 10:06 PM) Thank goodness I'm not doubleposting. AbsoluteVista's winner announced: Derek Hunter. I preferred the runner-up's stories though, Derek's was somewhat... dry. http://absolutevista.com/blogs/absolutevista/ Doubleposting isn't that bad unless you're spamming.... but I don't know the specific rules on it here. Yeah, they really didn't do very well on absolutevista. They wanted a short sweet concise explanation, and then they choose those who really only went on their small mention of "funny". I didn't get those as being very funny... -------------------- Q6600, 4GB g-skill, 8800GT, P5N-D motherboard  My art |

Arstechnica and OSNN are yet to give out their winners. Sigh.
And I don't think doubleposting is allowed at all. -------------------- "If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it.

heh, you'd probably have to do some mind control for that to happen...
BC doesn't really have a headquarters, and if it did, then you'd still be hacking into nothing. Its the reviewer of the product that its going to run it, and give it out. -------------------- Q6600, 4GB g-skill, 8800GT, P5N-D motherboard My art |

that doesn't exactly work in the world of computers.
I suppose the contest rules haven't been announced though... -------------------- Q6600, 4GB g-skill, 8800GT, P5N-D motherboard My art |
