Random Ordering
Replies to problems posted on stackoverflow.com are ordered by vote. So if you put up a question like “What are your best programmer/computer science/programming jokes?” you end up with an randomly ordered list of nerd-jokes. For example: “An SQL query goes into a bar, walks up to two tables and asks, ”Can I join you?”“ is rewarded close to 900 points. Where “When your hammer is C++, everything begins to look like a thumb.“ scores significantly lower. And “If you put a million monkeys at a million keyboards, one of them will eventually write a Java program. The rest of them will write Perl programs.“ even lower. Pure random. To make it more complex some responses all most out-score the “answers” they comment on like: “Jesus saves, but only Buddha makes incremental backups.“ Wanna read more? Go a head, lose your day.
