Well, it is not so beautiful anymore. It was beautiful when compilers did no automatic loop unrolling. Nowadays it is archaic.
Brainfuck? Give whitespace http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/whitespace/ a try 
Not quite as crazy as either of those two, but this one brought a smile to my face:
...still a work in progress. 
kthxbye
I don't even like human language poems, I mean the idea of people fiddling around for hours to impose some mentally correlation which does not really exist.
What I really 
in school was using big characters together with small characters for some kind of maths formula. No one sane would do this in a commercial programming project.
My opinion is most kind of fiddling is bad. At least for my purposes. There must be some hacking phreaking and reverse engineering- I am not going to have it.
I think RISC is quite cool you don't fabricate a sophisticated loop, you simply unroll it.
Obfuscating C code can be kind of a trap for students they think it's relevant.
OK I read it actually takes professional skills to write really obfuscated source.
"Writing Secure Code" also is interesting book to read (It's from Microsoft).

Oh! The irony!

Okay folks - Since when did geeks ever have style??? As far as I know, pocket protectors were never stylish, they just helped us not lose the important stuff...
What's a pocket protector?

Serious - what's a pocket protector?
Some sort of super-hero who watches your personal finances?
Is this a USA thing?
A soft plastic thing (liner) that you put in your chest shirt pocket to protect it from the blobs of ink that often accumulated on the end of one's biros.

They have an image of a "Linux" one. 
Wow!
And presumably people were gullible enough to part with cash for those?
Hey I have got one of those. I got it from the Open Source conference last year. It came in the goody bag we all got. It was from Sparkfun filled with LEDs, I thought it was just a fancy plastic bag, never seen one before.

As you can see from this documentary they are worth their weight in gold...
It used to be that if you didn't have a pocket protector you weren't really a qualified tech/geek/nerd and could not be trusted to get things working or write usable code. Those poor pitiful folks who couldn't even change a light bulb seemed to think it was a fashion "faux pas" but then who did they call whenever tehy got themselves in trouble - the guy with the pocket protector. Got out of the habit of using one when I got into field service as my wrench set and computer didn't fit in one...
My pen (Parker Jotter stainless steel ballpoint) doesn't leak. 8)
But I would like to get a holster for my calculator, or perhaps a nice compartmentalized courier satchel. There's too much stuff I like having available to use like a pen, pencil, eraser, notebook, calculator, flashlight, Victorinox Ranger, cellphone, and usually some reading material on whatever I'm studying up on.
I'm not a professional programmer, just a hobbyist, so programming in a readable way is for my own sake. An occasional pleasure of mine is using gotos (I play chess).
"Courier Satchel"??? Sorry, but that sounds kind of like a purse. Definitely not geekish, need a cardboard box with duct tape.
Indiana Jones had a satchel. 8) A box with duct tape? That doesn't seem very practical or reliable.
I guess part of my point was that functionality being more important than fashion or aesthetics seems kind of geeky. The reason to have a satchel, calculator holster, or a pocket protector isn't just because they're cool or fashionable.
Either way, it's alright with me if having a satchel doesn't make me geeky...
Sorry for contributing to the derailment of this thread, if it displeases anyone.
