Could someone change this title? TopCoder is an NSA supported competitive programming site. While I guess competitive programming could be consider MIT-style hacking, this is not cracking and it's definitely not run by the NSA.
- mquander 17y agoI strongly agree. The NSA has an extremely tangential role in how this is happening. TC has many sponsors, all of whom are interested in hiring extremely sharp programmers, and the NSA participates as a member of that set. This particular contest was sponsored by the NSA, and the next might be sponsored by Intel or AMD. That's just how they pay the bills.
