Dennis,

    To a degree, but it isn't done as a sporting event over the internet. These guys/gals connect to the web site in what they call a stadium. Their all given the same problem at the same time & then have to code their answers. Not sure what the criteria of judgement are.

To ALL,

    The following came in the mail this morning. I visited the web site (www.topcoder.com) and find it somewhat odd, but!!! It could spawn into a lot
of things, like sparing on a database recovery so that your next employer knows
your capable & not just slinging it.

PS: Jared, sorry about the OT, but it IS interesting.
