    Am I the only one or does the registration process abort with an error when submitting the second form?
    Last year the same thing happened. Either they don't like me or my browser/OS combination is to blame.

    I tried the support of TopCoder last year, they were just incompetent jerks. Maybe this year they will be able to help me.

    Now that M$ is all over the place with trying to find a "Google remedy", the dropping of the WinFS from the upcoming Longhorn (as if it was really "upcoming"...), Google seems like it is twisting the knife when highly skilled (I hope) hackers will come up with new ways to expand the capabilities/uses of the "G"...

    Watch out M$ - here we come...

    OTOH - It might just end up with a neater way to Googlehack more funny data out of the web (http://johnny.ihackstuff.com/)

    get a free ipod! This really works... And... GMail invites to the next 4 to hop in... (1 invite already sent...)
