    Re: Contest time

    How about speech based applications, I think the windows speech engine is under used. So lets see what people can come up with. As it is easy to reference in a project.

    What do u think ?

    Re: Contest time

    How about a social networking client? It can be as simple or complex as the user wants then. Points could be awarded for interface as well as the networks it implements and how well it does so?

    How about a contest to type a 5x5 identity matrix in VB.NET as fast as you can? It's actually kind of hard.
