Essentially free $100 purchases (you pay shipping).. for the first 1,000 people. It's going to be a mad rush.

Just wondering what's ya'lls thoughts were for writing a script to make a purchase!

trying to scam a company whose products are open source on a day when they are trying to give back to the open source community seems like a pretty fucked up thing to do...but hey, maybe you want to piss off a bunch of hackers and make open source companies look bad?

sounds good...hes not cheating anybody. He is just trying to get into the first 1000 by having a program execute his order at the right time.

ah, gotcha. Writing a script to make just one order at the right time seems fine, writing a script to make multiple orders is another story.
