"Will Code for Green" Contest for Devs
-
My name is Nate from the Bing Outreach Team and I wanted to make sure that all of you know about the contest called "Will Code for Green", that is going on now. The goal of “Will Code for Green” is to create a Web application or mashup in order to a) help people cope with the economy OR b) help people protect the environment. The top prizes for economy or ecology categories are $10,000 each, with 3 overall runners up receiving $3,000. The prize money for this contest is larger in hopes of promoting the formation of teams. So... if you think you have an idea for an out of this world app and think it can change the world, you can read more details here about how to enter at: http://willcodeforgreen.gnomedex.com[^]

Bing Outreach Team, better known by its acronym: B.O.T. Since I assume that you'll insist on Microsoft technologies in any submission, and since we all know that Microsoft has thoroughly deprecated native mode development, that means that .NET is required. The whole thing is better known as BOTNET?

Wow, way to slay me. The messenger is officially dead and Martin I'm afraid of what you'd suggest as a new name. haha Cheers, Nate A member of the Bing Outreach Team
Fair call there Nate - you are indeed the messenger and it is not your fault if someone up the food chain hasn't thought things through sensibly. Perhaps we would be lucky enough to have said person(s) make an appearance on codeproject so we can point a few things out to them from our perspectives as M$ developers/IT professionals. cheers Bryce

oh yes good point - Making a competition available only to septics and having the cheek to post it on the premier development website in the _world_, thus annoying even more people than I had considered in my previous post. 0, yes 0. For chaps who write operating systems and other such cleverness - your appreciation of reality and the world around you is remarkably disturbing. Bryce - official CP Scorer.

But, Bryce, septics have more tanks. best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

Do you realize that Bing Outreach Team is an anagram of 'Teach about minger', or vice versa, of course. I'm not suggesting for a minute that there is any relation between those two terms. I just find it interesting, 'sall.
