Larry, that is awesome!

Unfortunately it's pretty easy to game this by writing some running code that 
isn't very usable, and then claim that you are right based on the fact that you 
have running code and the other folks don't.   I think this should certainly be 
considered, but it's not quite as strong an argument as is being claimed.
