      Time for a new poll.

      The best code is written by programmers drinking...

      a. Mountain Dew

      b. Pepsi

      c. Coca-Cola

      d. Mountain Dew Code Red

      e. Jolt Cola

      f. beer

      g. RC Cola and eatin' a Moon Pie

      h. Cowboy Neal's bath water

      Whether this poll should be subdivided into open and closed source code I leave as an intellectual exercise for the reader.
