Rename wrongly named author/winner handles
There were many files renamed in this commit and I hope I got all the references to the old names changed to the new names. To explain this commit there were some older entries that had the wrong directory name: not the surname but something else. Very possibly there are other directories that need to be renamed and I am actually aware of one right now but since it's in 2005 (which is close to being worked on) I am not changing that now but just noting it: 2005/anon should be changed to 2005/anonymous (unless there's a very good reason I am unaware of). But like I said since 2005 will be worked on soon I have not touched it. The Makefiles, .gitignore, the all/summary.txt, years.html and winners.html files as well as the directories and the files under the renamed directories have all been updated. This is a rather big update and it might be that there are conflicts. If so I will fix them. I will have to update 2005/anon later on to try and prevent this from happening but very possibly there will be conflicts here. It's also possible I missed some changes in years.html and/or winners.html and/or summary/all.txt but I think I got them all. These should be verified later on.

## Judges' comments
|
||||
|
||||
From the San Jose Mercury News (May 15, 1993 page 20A "West Hackers
|
||||
trounce East in computer quiz game"):
|
||||
|
||||
"Since 1984, a contest has been held on Usenet for the most
|
||||
unreadable, creative, bizarre but working C program", Gates
|
||||
said. "What is the name of this contest?"
|
||||
|
||||
"Windows," shot back Gassee, naming Microsoft's premier product
|
||||
- a product over which Apple sued Microsoft five years ago. Not
|
||||
the right answer - it's "The Obfuscated C Contest [sic]" - but
|
||||
it brought down the house of Apple partisans...
|
||||
|
||||
[The expression on Bill Gates' face was a sight to behold, as reported
|
||||
to us by several who were there].
|
||||
|
||||
You must set $DISPLAY in your environment or the program will
|
||||
dump core. This is not a bug as the author documented it as
|
||||
a feature. :-)
|
||||
|
||||
The optional argument is integer which controls the speed of the
|
||||
program. By default the speed is 9. You may want to try 1.
|
||||
|
||||
You will have to kill the program (i.e., ^C) to stop it.
|
||||
|
||||
WARNING: Slow servers or servers with long request queues will
|
||||
continue to 'run' for a while after you have killed
|
||||
the program.
|
||||
|
||||
This program makes your windows about as useful as their windows. :-)
|
||||
|
||||
## Author's comments
|
||||
|
||||
The program uses a single backing pixmap (which is the size of the
|
||||
screen) for all of its subwindows (with a little bit of trickery to
|
||||
move the offset around). This is much better (and faster) than the
|
||||
obvious implementation which would require a full-screen pixmap and
|
||||
a separate backing pixmap for each subwindow.
|
||||
|
||||
The chance that a window breaks is based on it's kinetic energy,
|
||||
which in turn is based on it's area and speed. How silly!
