Vote for Steve continuously on the Forbes CEO poll!
1) Make the following your Home page in Safari preferences:
http://forums.prospero.com/n/mb/viewpoll.asp?webtag=fdc_ceorate&tid=219&lgnF=y&dlink=1&vote=1&submit=%A0%A0Vote+Now%A0%3E%3E%A0%A0
2) Make a script in the text editor of your choice with the following commands:
#!/bin/sh
while [1]
do
open /Applications/Safari.app
sleep 10
killall Safari
rm -fr /Users/rod/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
done
Then open up Terminal and navigate to the directory that contains the file and type this:
chmod +x name_of_script
That's to make it executable.
Then while in that same directory in Terminal you can execute it with the command ./name_of_script
While running this script, it will continuously open Safari, wait 10 seconds (while the vote for Steve is submitted via the link), close Safari, delete your cookies, and start over. This way the vote will count every time.
Each reader could singlehandedly add over 100,000 votes to Steve in what's left of the month. Of course, you'd only want to leave it running whle you're away from your computer since it pretty much takes over by opening and closing Safari constantly.
You could adjust the value after 'sleep' if your computer takes longer to open the 'submit vote' page. You could also replace the link with:

To make it continuously vote No for Ballmer.
Enjoy!!!
