I can't believe my luck. It seems that many times a week, in the last few weeks, I'm welcomed to the MacNN forums to the banner: "You are the 999,999th visitor: Congratulation you won! ".
Am I the only one? Does it mean that I'm the last visitor since then? Does it mean I'm too lucky? Does it mean I'm already dead but I'm not aware? So many question...

Not sure, I have adblocking.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

I don't have any add blockers on my personal computer. I find the adds very helpful to find interesting new products! And they are frequently very appealing in a visual sense!

Wait, since when does being the 999,999th visitor win you something? Talk to me when you reach 1,000,000.

I think it has something to do with Zeno's Paradox.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Thanks again.
