Hey Sherbie: I got pointed at this, which should make your blood boil. And if it don't, try this on for size.

To you who ain't Sherbie: Check out the above links, and keep in mind that she's works at Dell, where programmers employ this kind of crap every day. She has then to deal with the second-hand obfuscated code passed to her to fix/improve/cry about. She was teaching a group of us to code, and has much to say about these coding techniques. It's fun to see them written out, all in one place.
