On a more selfish, though certainly relevant note, I'd like to point out that while these numbers are undeniably impressive, we still have only 2092 signatures on the petition for a federal ban on computerized lottery drawings. That's not even ten percent of LP's membership, and the petition has been posted for a year now.At this rate, by the time we have enough signatures to take the petition to congress (2 1/2 years), most lotteries will have already made the switch, as these invisible cheat m...

Vista is the successor to Windows XP, and is a mainstream desktop operating system. So it will be used by every type of user. SQL Server 2005, and other new server products that Microsoft is coming out with in November are solely used by developers and systems engineers. Microsoft also has a new version of Windows Server 2003 coming out I believe late next year, and they have yet to give that server product a name. That will also be strictly a developer and systems engineer product.

Microsoft is releasing a new OS called VISTA IN 2006. It's suppose to work better for developers.

This is an excellent site and Todd does an outstanding job as webmaster, but your comment that you would be nothing without this site is disturbing.I think it may be wise to expand your horizons.

You are certainly free to make a big deal about your number of views and/or number of posts in your blog! It's your blog, and you're free to show your pride in it. The only thing I can think of that you can track by person's name in your blog is comments (you can obviously see who commented in your blog). Lottery Post currently does not track who actually incremented the view counter, it only knows the raw number of views. (Incidently, the blog view counter only goes up by one for OTHER peop...

i know i am real small potatoes compared to 400,000 posts. i would be nothing without this site. i was wondering if the views for my blog hit a certain milestone. i could make a big to do about it. i was just wondering if that was possible. if not could i tell which member viewed my blog. i have a blog and it is getting up there. probably not the most popular but it got me watching the views climb. i just would like to get maybe a 25.00 gift certificate to the lucky person to hit that milestone....

ALL programs have bugs, but people like to pick on Microsoft for some reason. I personally think Microsoft products are the absolute best, and I base everything here 100% on Microsoft server products.I have no problem with 2005 , since it is, in fact, 2005.The dirty little secret is that UNIX, Linux, and all the variants have all the same, and much worse, bugs and problems that Microsoft products have, and in addition they are much harder to use.Now I'll probably have some Linux aficionados te...

What's better is that on November 7th, Microsoft is releasing their latest version of SQL Server, called SQL Server 2005Leave it to MS to release something named 2005 in November - just in time for Christmas.The data guys are waiting for Service Pack I, to see what they screwed up.

Wow, that is a lot, I didn't realize we had hit those milestones! Someday I'm going to put together some kind of chart showing growth over time. I will be very interesting to see graphically how the growth of Lottery Post feed on itself, as word spreads of everything that is available to lottery players.There is another very unique thing about the 400,000-post milestone, and that is just the fact that all 400,000 posts -- the entire history of topic threads -- is available online, with no arch...
