Don't miss your free 100$ (I think it's america only).
You gotta answer some stuff but shit is legit as I saw it was done previous successfully.
I was going to say something about spilling the beans and making it even harder to get free stuff now, but I'm pretty sure everyone that cares already knows.
I'm so hoping to get a few bucks through this, then I can get myself a soldering station :dance:

What is sparkfun?
also is this in the right place? this is programming
You don't just get 100$, you have to answer some questions or get dosh based on your account age.
And this is totally not programming related.
It is if you program for hardware like AVR or PIC etc
Cool, maybe I'll finally get me an Arduino and get back into electronics.
Totally gonna get myself a GPS module or cellular module.
I wont be on until 6 hours after it starts, will all $150,000 be used up by then? :/
Most likely yes. $100,000 was used up within 1 hour and 44 minutes last time and that was with the webserver being down for most of it.
I'd really love to do this, but it starts as soon as an orientation that lasts until 4 PM for me does. And I'm PST. :smith:
rated heart for not being able to participate.
Oh god it's so close.

[QUOTE=DrLuke;27384653]rated heart for not being able to participate.[/QUOTE]
But I can. :o
At least, I'm trying to now ... (I'm getting a lot of "Opps" pages on the SparkFun website, as well as a "Something broke" page.)
Site is down
I need to sign in on every pages.
It logged me out mid-way, fucking site. :C
They seem to have given away about 1/8th - What I'd like to know is how is anybody able to actually get anything from it when it's like this.
Been trying to login for the last 15 minutes. So far, I've only got the login page twice - which failed to log me in - and a redirection to a page asking me to create a new account. At this rate, all the money will be gone before I can even login.
What I find odd is that I can access the index page, but not the quiz page. :c
Are the questions difficult?
Who knows, I haven't even managed to get to the bit where you login yet.
Difficult to get to.
I was able to register, but I can't get to the quiz page like everyone else. I'm confident this is going to end with the giveaway all gone while no one being able to connect like most offers.

Money gone, I won $20.
Seriously, I have been trying since it started, and didn't even got on the quiz page.
I hope next time they make something like this they get real web servers.
Yep, all money gone. I won $10, because the site let me login right at the end.
It's easier to get in if you don't load the images on the page. I was close to winning $30 tho; I submitted the answer and got the it's over page.
[quote]You made $10 for free today![/quote]
Better than nothing, I guess.
Good idea, poorly planned.
[QUOTE=Ortzinator;27391973]Good idea, poorly planned.[/QUOTE]
How was it poorly planned? Servers were expected to be overloaded as with any free offer.
