When you're in a voting ward where 300 people voted for Candidate A and 100 people voted for Candidate B and everybody in that voting ward knows their neighbors were going to vote for Candidate A, when Candidate B wins, you can say "hey! something's up," pull out your paper trail, recount it, and and put Candidate A in office.
In most states, retailers are required to sell you the advertised product, even if they don't have it in stock. They give you a rain check. They order it. They contact you when they get it. They hold it for ten days. If you come back in that ten days, you get the sale item at the sale price.

If you're a regular Pepsi drinker, you're buying your normal beverage of choice at your normal price and getting a song to boot.
If you're a regular iTunes Music Store user, you're spending 21 on a Pepsi.
If you're an iTMS user and a Pepsi drinker, this whole thing is saving you 99 off your regular Pepsi/iTMS purchases.
If you're a cola drinker but not a Pepsi drinker, buying a Coke is really costing you $1.20 + 99 (99 for lost opportunity cost).

Never underestimate the stupidity of people in small numbers.
The /. article says 2k3, the site says 2k4. You got my hopes up.
My Power Mac G4 is on it's second power supply. The problem went away! And it's a Power Mac Gigabit, not Gigabyte.
