Comment Spam Gets Funny
By Adrian Sutton
I got hit with some comment spam today which used some rather amusing text to try to hide the links to fraudulent sites. I’ve removed the comment but the text is well worth saving:
To help determine if you are qualified to be a programmer, take a moment to
try this simple test:
(1) Write down the numbers from zero to nine and the first six letters
of the alphabet (Hint: 0123456789ABCDEF).
(2) Whose picture is on the back of a twenty-dollar bill?
(3) What is the state capital of Idaho?
If you managed to read all three questions without wondering why we asked
them, you may have a future as a computer programmer.
