I would be a default Windows Server 2008 installation with all updates installed. Interested?

I would deploy the server (default installation & updates) on AWS. Deal?

Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? I set up a Windows server and you have 24 hours to remotely root it. If you succeed, I give you 1000 USD. If not, you give me 1000 USD.

All I have to do is to press this button right here, and the '10 best gapes ever' app will simultaneously launch on millions of iPhones. It will be a sweet day indeed.

Good for you then that you're part of the elite and not an ordinary American.

I suggest having a large, perfectly spaced grid tattooed on your back. That way you can track the deformation of your skin over the years. Pretty sweet as a science project.

If my fart and booth apps work, I'm happy
