Just something small: you can now issue ladder challenges from the lobby. Click on the name of someone who isn't in a live event and you'll see extra options. You're automatically registered for the ladder if necessary.

What happens when one or both players are not signed into a ladder when issueing a challenge?

Lol. Nice hacking Sam :)

I do that all the time - suggest something cool and quick to the client, they say yes, I do it, they're happy. Then someone points something out I hadn't considered...

Such is a coder's lot. ;)

I would beg to differ on Sams' behalf......

Hacking implies covert access to memory or entry to files usually not meant to be available.

"Developer"  is a better description of what Sam does.
Hence, the game we all play!

Hacker, as it relates to computers, has several common meanings. Hacker is often used by the mass media to refer to a person who engages in computer cracking and is also often by those in computing fields to refer to a person who is a computer enthusiast.

However, the term 'hacking' was used as a programming term before it was adopted to describe 'illegal entry to computer systems'.

Hacking in a traditional sense is making particularly talented/lucky/clever changes to or adding code without full planning or according to a spec.

In commercial projects code is created according to the design spec and managed.
In smaller projects it tends to be hacked together. ie no proper planning or design - just writing as you go. While this is generally quicker and requires more knowledge of the system it tends to result in more unreadable code and a lack of cohesive structure.

Thus I described what Sam did as hacking. If it was planned and designed then the eventuality would have been catered for as it would have been designed, written and tested :P

Hacking is ideal for prototyping as a prototype app doesn't need full functionality as often it is purely for use as a 'proof of concept'.

If ya gonna quote wikipedia try:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_definition_controversy

BTW, it was not meant in a negative way at all. Most of the stuff I do is hacked together due to lack of proper design brief by clients. :)
