ICFP Programming Contest 2002

Posted by timothy on from the load-up-on-smart-drugs dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Has no one noticed that the ICFP Programming Contest is about to get underway by the end of the week? The prize this year is $1000 and a trip to the conference, which is acutally in the US this year, as compared to Italy last year." What's the ICFP programming contest? See our previous mentions of this open-to-all contest, now in its fifth year. The acronym parses to International Conference on Functional Programming, by the way.

    Since the conference is in the U.S., make sure that your program submission does not violate any U.S. laws. Dare I say, DMCA? Or, perhaps this event could be another chance to push the limits of U.S. ip laws. Anybody feel like writing an mp3 encoder or decoder that is different enough yet compatible? We could sure use one :)

    Yeah, I know. Write it myself... Now, where did I put that trs-80 manual?
