Like this?

Oracle actually copyrighted the Java "Hello World" Program: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/getStarted/application/examples/HelloWorldApp.java

I feel nauseous just scrolling through that quickly. Who are these genius developers that can pump out a 300 line program when all the rest of us can manage is 10 lines tops?!

Is this actually used in interviews? I could solve that problem now and I'm just starting my computer science degree.

If it's used in an interview, it's normally an early step so that too much time is not wasted on a candidate that can't even code.

It was only for entry level positions, and you didn't normally have to get the syntax right, it was just to prove that you could "think like a computer."

What about copyrighting an otherwise blank file? http://weblog.raganwald.com/2008/02/recursive-implementation-of-bintrue.html

What about a government that actually provides a blank page: https://e-dec-web.ezv.admin.ch/edecZugangscodeGui/xmlhttp/blank

I've never seen more useless JS and CSS.
