I agree. This contest is the dumbest thing I have seen on slashdot in a while.
Let's say you could do this with a 20 engineer team. Woohoo, each person gets $500 for 15 work days. I wouldn't even interview for a permanent job for that pay, much less work really hard on some software for two weeks just to give it away. I mean, if there is a legitimate market for this product, why the hell would you turn around and give the software away?
what about the underwater travel thing they posted here a while back. I think it was based on cavitation or something like that. That seems cool, but I think hitting a whale a high speed might not work out so well.

Will this be integrated with egcs also? I thought it had officially replaced gcc. I use it exclusively now...
