No, not for me. This is something I found through
an on-line story I read, and thought I'd spread. Let me cut&paste....
A young woman in the USA is trying to raise money for necessary medical procedures, but she’s not doing it by soliciting donations or asking people to buy anything… she’s taking advantage of the file hosting service megaupload.com’s reward program… a real, actual program that gives people cash rewards for using their service, presumably as a means of stealth advertising. Simply put: enough people download a file that she has hosted, and she gets a nice chunk of change. "This program states if I get 5 million downloads, they will pay me $10,000" she says: obviously impossible, but she's trying it anyway. I like that.
The file? Nothing arduous, onerous, or dangerous… a plain text file, as in, *.txt, which anybody can tell you cannot contain or execute a virus. If you save a virus as something.txt and try to open it, you’d just get a bunch of gobbledygook in Notepad. I’ve downloaded it myself, and it’s nothing more than a simple text description of her plight and her plan. One download per day, per IP address.
If the USA had a health system that worked, she wouldn't have to do this. But it doesn't.
She's also on LiveJournal as
(that's her personal jounal) and has another LJ account dedicated to this project
So if you nice people wouldn't mind going over there and downloading a little file? Maybe even bookmark it, and download once a day?
