5th Underhanded C Contest Now Open

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-c-what-you've-done-there dept.

Xcott Craver writes "The next Underhanded C Contest has begun, with a deadline of March 1st. The object of the contest is to write short, readable, clear and innocent C code that somehow commits an evil act. This year's challenge: write a luggage routing program that mysteriously misroutes a customer's bag if a check-in clerk places just the right kind of text in a comment field. The prize is a gift certificate to ThinkGeek.com."

    Funny, but you've got a point.

    The best humor also makes a good point. Thanks for noticing.
