Unless this has been changed since last time, there should be a big proviso. You can only get money if you live in the US. This should really be made clearer, earlier.

This isn't right - they gave money to people outside of US last two times.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think you should have to sign-in to do the practices.

Agreed, I just lost because of improper python syntax. Hardcore C would be more fun, with memsets and frees such that bugs can exist in memory management.

Agreed. I'm not at all interested in giving my email out just to see what this is all about.

I agree, we will get around to implementing more functionality for cookie-only users.

I don't really feel like registering for the practices, so how does this work? Do they give you a piece of code that has a bug in it and you're supposed to find it and fix it?
