Go up one level in this thread


This reminds me of my high school programming class I took last semester.  One
person would write the assigned program, put it on the server in their "private"
directory.  Then everyone else would go get it, erase and change all the
comments, change all variable names, and add this or that little feature to
change how it looked.  They would do about 1/10 as much work as the original
person, but usually got the same grade, or even a better one.
I think any kid in my class could do the same thing with one of the chess
programs, and it seems that is almost what is happening.
