Sweetness. They got my dollar

[edit]

Woah! I'm always skeptical, so I checked it out real quick before I was gonna donate. Always be careful before parting with money

Quote: "Briefly: http://linux-blog.org/ , hosted by devnet, and http://blog.lobby4linux.com, hosted by helios, have been pumping a scheme to drive the Linux community to donate $350,000 to this site: http://tux500.com/ to get a Linux-sponsored car into the Indianapolis 500 race by memorial day. As of 3:55 AM 4/17/07, the donation meter stands at $5,160 and change (six hours after this post went up, they put up a new image.) a figure I'm not too certain about since it's a static image (right-click on it!)."


...bla bla bla...

Is there ANYBODY to this but devnet and helios? "

as for the static image, php could be creating the image. Not exactly sure what the author considers a non-static image other than an animated gif.
