Ask HN: Would you apply to the Difference Engine and why?

I saw a link the other day posted on HN about a new acceleration programme called the Difference Engine (http://www.thedifferenceengine.eu/) and would really like to hear everyone's opinion on what you think are the positive and negative aspects of applying? (and would you consider applying of course) I mean there is stuff on their site about "why you should apply", but just wondering what everyone else thinks. . . Thanx all http://www.thedifferenceengine.eu/
