[4] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

uninteresting adj. 1. said of a problem that, although nontrivial,
   can be solved simply by throwing sufficient resources at it. 2. also
   said of problems for which a solution would neither advance the state of
   the art nor be fun to design and code.

   hackers regard uninteresting problems as intolerable wastes of time,
   to be solved if at all by lesser mortals. _real_ hackers see
   toolsmith generalize uninteresting problems enough to make them
   interesting and solve them -- thus solving the original problem as a
   special case and, it must be admitted, occasionally turning a molehill
   into a mountain, or a mountain into a tectonic plate. see wombat,
   smop; compare toy problem, oppose interesting.
