That's a new spin on advertising for computer companies. Way to go Sun!
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

"Sun Microsystems got some good ratings over Dell recently and decided to publish some adverts in top publications. Those publications, including the Wall Street Journal, refused to run the adverts because the headlines were thought too controversial. "
