davidmwilliams writes "Microsoft followed their annual major Tech-Ed event in Australia with a week-long programming contest called "DevSta," to find "star developers." While the quantity and quality of submissions suggest a poor turnout it certainly caught the attention of at least two hackers who left their mark.
Here is the low down on the contest, what happened, by who, and screen shots for posterity in case it's been fixed by the time you read this."

Even though the identities of Lamerdir and Ov3rlord arenâ(TM)t clear, one thing is certain: Microsoft wonâ(TM)t be forgetting the embarrassment caused to their DevSta challenge. And unless the volume of submissions increase dramatically within the next 19 hours someone may be awarded an Xbox for doing nothing more than rewriting the Windows calculator as a .NET app.
