Originally posted by [Knuckles] View PostIt seems like codeweavers is doing an election-based promo of crossover again:
Don’t buy a Windows license, don’t reboot or use a virtual machine until you try CrossOver for Mac, Linux, or ChromeOS. Download a free 14 day trial now and get your Windows apps running on Mac and Linux.
CrossOver is a Windows emulator. This page shows all the press releases about CodeWeavers and our CrossOver products.
I'm not from the US, so I can't pledge to vote, but it seems they're already ~70% the way to their target!
From http://www.codeweavers.com/flockthevoteqa
Q: Can I pledge, even if I'm not an American?
A: Yes! On September 11, 2012 we opened up pledging to all the people on the planet.
Please vote and spread the word!

Well, bad news. I'm at work and kind of bored, so I started thinking why the bar was so full a month ago when I first saw the promo, and it barely budged at all during September. THEN I had a look at their javascript:
Code:var logapct = function (max, cur) { return Math.round(100 * Math.log(cur)/Math.log(max)); } var updatePledges = function (num) { var pct = logapct(100000, num); $('.progressbar-inner').animate({'height': pct + '%'}, 1500); }
The thing is because they use logarithm to update their progress bar, they needed only about 1000 pledges to reach 60%, and 3162 pledges to reach 70%....
So the morale of the story is: PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE!
