Somewhere, Shirley Jackson chuckles...

The phone you want, on the network you don't.

Hm, that's an interesting error. Judging by the undefined indices, I'd be inclined to think that it's possible you forgot to select a file, and/or something glitched with the captcha.

Either way, I like the facebook spider test idea. Though, I would think that their spider shouldn't trigger the download, because the way it's set up is each "download link" is just a page with the real download link on it, which submits a form that does all the processing to figure out if the file should be deleted.

I've also been having problems with the files actually staying until the set number of downloads, but it's something I'm working on. Thanks!

If anyone has any feedback, please let me hear it. This was a fun small thing to do.

This is the critical information that these articles never mention. It's always "We emailed a few friends and the next morning we had $100 billion in VC funding and a private island!"

I wish more blogs would include the "luck" details in their success posts. It's practically lying to say that all that happened was that you tweeted to ~100 followers. I'm not trying to criticize, it's just an interesting bit that makes the startup sound much more down-to-earth when they're willing to admit where they got their luck from.

Because let's not forget: all success is due to some luck, and that's sometimes the most interesting part of the story.

I took a class that was very writing-intensive. I was one of the only people to ever actually change the font in my essays from Calibri to Times New Roman, and always wondered if this contributed to the fact that I did substantially better than most other people with very comparable essays.

"The mice 'quickly entered a defensive, immobile crouch,' strongly suggesting the fear memory was being recalled."

Perhaps the defensive, immobile crouch had something to do with having a hole drilled through their skull and a laser shined through said hole?

I see, so even just shutting down the servers hosting MU's data could be damaging to the whole network?

An interesting bug, but if anything won't it just earn you fake points on a website, while making everyone on that website hate the account that's accruing the points, essentially making those "hacked" points' meaning moot anyway?

I'm wondering this, too. The data would still be there, and they wouldn't have to worry about maintenance costs at least, right?
