And by that I mean any piece of code, or an idea presented in pseudo code, something which is very important and is almost art now. I intend to put up a few paintings and work on paper around my office which depict engineering, rather celebrate engineering. I want them to be not so ordinary like e=mc2 or anything too common or geeky, like 42. They be special, they be important and have earned the position of being almost sacred owing to their contribution to their field. So I want a representation of computer programing as well. I hope I'm not asking this in the wrong community and apologies already if I am. Thanks for your time.

I did consider Linux but I just don't know what to put up from the entire code base. I have selected the number 0000:7C00 so far. It would be great if you can add any more identifiers. Thanks for pitching in.

I have got such a poster (A2 format I believe) on some fair with hundreds/thousands of lines printed in a very tiny font. It looked just good from a distance and was interesting to study it for a few seconds.

Now loads of text in small font is an idea I hadn't thought of. Thinking. Thanking.

You can get the infamous DVD DeCSS code on a poster. I'm sure there's more, I just can't think of any at the moment.
