QuoteTo mark the 40th anniversary of the Internet, DARPA has announced the DARPA Network Challenge, a competition that will explore the roles the Internet and social networking play in the timely communication, wide-area team-building, and urgent mobilization required to solve broad-scope, time-critical problems.
The challenge is to be the first to submit the locations of 10 moored, 8-foot, red, weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the continental United States. The balloons will be in readily accessible locations and visible from nearby roads.
A $40,000 cash prize will be awarded to the first entrant to submit the latitude and longitude of all ten balloons.
I can only imagine our US posters trying a collaborative effort to locate the balloons and win the prize :lol:
L.
I think the best single word to describe our American posters is "lazy" so gl with that. :P
If lettow would go into a DARPA experimental self healing minefield, fine by me.
Are we allowed to put up fake red balloons to throw off the others?
If this were a Languish team building exercise, I would expect someone to compare the balloons to a woman's breasts, and ten pages of breast-related hijack to ensue. :D

Cal or Ed would be in charge of balloon boobs, and it would be ten pages of hijack about a famous battle between Byzantine balloon units and Incan torpedo boats. :contract:
Did someone mention boobs?
You win by having geographic coverage. We don't have that.

Joe Hooker had small breasts.
What, they couldn't afford neunundneunizg balloons? <_<
A hooker with small breasts seems a waste, if you are paying for it why not go top-shelf.
Fuck the internet. What did it ever do for me?

Made it easier and cheaper to acquire porn.

Ok...besides that?
Allowed you to carry on this conversation?
Meh - you're right.

I ask that everyday.
There's a problem with that contest, it'd force people to leave their basements.

*apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us?*
