    How much have you made from these bounties, in competition with all the other university-chained programmers submitting? When you get out of the dorms and cafeterias, you'll find that it takes a lot more than $1000 a year to support hookers and blow. BTW, our before-hookers-and-blow taxes are subsidizing the loans and grants that enable the finance of your education and subsistence. You'll appreciate the irony when you're dropping over $300 out of that $1000 to pay them yourself.
