    Microsoft are... :P


    Microsoft fixes 'big boobs' coding gaffe

    Microsoft has swiftly fixed an embarrassing gaffe which saw a chunk of code labelled "big boobs".
    The hexadecimal string 0xB16B00B5 was discovered lurking in code that helps a Microsoft program work with Linux open source software.
    The controversial string came to light on a mailing list for developers who oversee the core, or kernel, of Linux.

    Anyone potentially offended by this is likely to never encounter something technical like this anyway.

    What was the fix for this, did they pick a different number or is it now represented in decimal?

    "Highly" offended, but not "genuinely"? If you were "genuinely" offended, you'd need a smack.

    There's no smack button, so you'll have to make do with a thumbs up.

    But the only people who would have seen that code are Linux geeks and they've probably never seen any real boobs before. So what's the harm?

    :p

    When you quote boobs that someone has shared, they go italic and look like they are travelling sideways at speed. Perhaps on a skateboard.
