Found this hilarious take on unmaintainable code written some time back when it was slashdotted:

How Nerdy are you?

Took this Nerd test and was worried I was going to score a "less nerdy" type. But the result were pleasantly surprising. It said " All hail the monstrous nerd. You are by far the SUPREME NERD GOD!!!"
Perhaps, my score was helped by a few dirty clothes in my room, and Solaris.
For now, I am in heaven!

Sun to release iPod like player !

Heard a rumour that Sun has finished working on a killer mp3 player. It'll be on offer for a free 60 day trial once the tussle between engineers and marketing is resolved. Engineers are opposing marketing people's move to name it Sun Java Secure Media Pocket Player, but they're willing to accept if the name is shortened to SJSMPP as long as no one knows what it stands for after its release.

Well, that was a joke by my insider-friend. Wondering if such a player if ever released would be able to run on minimized version of Solaris.
