Where's the glory in winning if you cheat?

There's a certain mindset under which a) most contests are boring, b) there exists a metagame over all contests, and c) that metagame so fascinating that success in it is interesting irrespective of the details of the underlying contests.

I don't necessarily subscribe to that values system, but part of me understands the attraction.

Hacking Dropbox's SpaceRace to win is pretty glorious.

It has less to do with winning than the fact that MIT students want the dropbox space.

It's worth noting that MIT is still at 15gb even while in first place.
