Can't decide whether to dump your boyfriend, move house or sell your car? The answer may be just a click away. Two British men and three women will let the Internet play God for 15 days by handing over their daily, sometimes life-changing decisions, to a potential jury of 12.7 million people, Internet news portal MSN said in a statement. The five people were chosen as part of a project to give the Internet a chance to help ordinary people make important daily decisions. This latest venture comes three decades after the publication of Luke Rhinehart's <注1> bestselling book "The Dice Man," the story of a man who gives up his control of life to the dice, and follows the worldwide success of reality TV show "Big Brother." <注2> Each of the five will put a decision a day to the Internet community and will have to act on the outcome of the decision, although they will be given a "joker"—meaning they can back out of one decision—during the period, MSN said. Internet users around the world will be able to vote on the decisions each day by visiting www. liveyourlife. msn.co.uk. A dedicated site has been created around each participant, giving information about their backgrounds, their loves, hates, hopes and daily diary updates. At the end of the 15 days, web users will decide which of the five has let the Internet live their life to the maximum and he or she will win 10,000 pounds.

　　该不该和男友分手？要不要搬家？卖不卖车？也许只需一下点击你就能找到答案。网络新闻门户网站MSN在声明中说，英国的两男三女将让因特网充当15天的上帝，让潜在的人数可达1,270万的裁判团来为自己的日常事务——有时甚至是影响一生的事情——做决定。这5个人被选中参加一个活动：让因特网帮助普通人决定自己的日常生活。趁着真人电视节目《大佬》在全球范围内大行其道的浪头，这一最新尝试在卢克·莱恩哈特的畅销书《掷骰子的人》——讲的是一个把自己的生活交给骰子控制的人——出版30年之后应运而生。MSN说，每天这5个人将分别把一件事情交由网络社会决定，并且必须按照收到的决定行事——尽管他们在活动期间可以得到一张“王牌”，意思是他们可以不遵守其中一个决定。每天，世界各地的网络用户可以通过访问www.liveyourlife.msn.co.uk网站来投票为他们做决定。活动还为这5个人分别建立了专门的网站，其中介绍了他们的背景、好恶、愿望等相关情况，并有每天更新的日记。15天活动的最后，网民们将决定5人当中谁最大限度地让因特网主宰了自己的生活，此人将赢得1万英镑的奖金。

　　Remarks：我以为把命运交给网络还不如交给骰子，那样至少不用让其他人来对你的生活负责。
