Ask HN: What's the Lorem Ipsum of programming languages?

Funny enough, I was watching The Drawn Together movie last night and there were parts where you had a robot's HUD's POV. When I paused to see what the scrolling code was, a lot of it was CSS with some <script> tags with references to Google.

There isn't. A lot of people would be likely to use code from something popular, like Linux or Quake, naturally.

The Terminator famously used 6502 assembly code from the Apple ][ boot ROM for the robot's point-of-view camera.
