People begging for invite codes in order to contribute their free labor to a corporation's beta release always reminds me of the words of a great venture capitalist:

"Although 'Even in the worst of times, someone turns a profit' was in fact the first Rule of Acquisition written, Grand Nagus Gint, in a shrewd marketing ploy, labeled it the One Hundred and Sixty-Second Rule. Why? To increase the demand for the first one hundred and sixty-one. That Gint, always thinking."

@jwz That's hilarious! What episode is that?
@fundlandresearch It's from the intro to the "Ferengi Rules of Acquisition" book, by Quark as told to Ira Steven Behr.
