Paste Description for vote-for-brooke.sh
This script automatically votes for Brooke White on American Idol repeatedly until you kill it. It uses the "rand" script from http://www.pastebin.ca/977963 to randomize the timing (just in case American Idol uses automated voting detection and rejection based on time).
System Requirements:
* some flavor of Unix or Unix-like system
* dial-up modem that works in your *nix of choice and found at /dev/modem (with proper file permissions set, etc.)
* unix2dos, usleep, bash (plain sh might work)
Suggested System Configuration:
* the desire to vote for Brooke White (not strictly required :))
By the way, I personally knew Brooke White and her family. She lived very near me in Mesa, AZ (the rest of her family still does). Brooke is a very good pianist and singer.
