You ignored the programs, now I've uploaded them myself.

You were whining that you had wasted your time porting the ray tracer to C#. 
I'm just saying that the entire program is still valid (of course, because 
the spec has never changed) but you only need to alter one line to bring it 
up to date. I may even make the alteration myself.

Isaac, this isn't your personal website - respect what other people have 
contributed. KNucleotide not specifying the hashing function is exactly 
equivalent to my not specifying the order of recursion into the scene tree.

You said that other people had wasted their time porting my ray tracer. If so, 
where are their submissions that you ignored? Either you made that up and 
they never existed or they are already on the shootout, in which case nobody 
wasted their time.
