              How bout start a poll on when we think the person will register. Also we could have a poll on what their first post is around (and that means no cheating and making duplicate accounts!) Those that guess correctly get some kewl CP swag :)

              Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                                      How about a charity Dutch auction. Pay whatever you choose for a bid/ticket and you get to vote for a charity. The highest bid gets 10% of the pot the rest goes to the charities in proportion to votes. Not that straight forward to organize but I reckon CPs technology is good enough to cope and with 10 million potential bidders (at least half of them crazy) interesting ammounts of money could be raised. :)

                                        Select a random India born member living in South Africa and give him: 1. One cool CP branded shirt. 2. All expenses paid trip to CP HQ. 3. Free beer till we reach 20 Million. 4. Send all the photographs and videos of #2 to 10 Millionth member. On a serious note, discounted rates on CP member selected software products. We can have a nice little poll to select the products.

                                          How bout start a poll on when we think the person will register. Also we could have a poll on what their first post is around (and that means no cheating and making duplicate accounts!) Those that guess correctly get some kewl CP swag :)

                                          Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                                          We definitely need some cool CodeProject swag...! Something fun - thoughts? I heard the poll was going for June 28th, and what a perfect day for it to happen.
