BBC News - Microsoft fixes 'big boobs' coding gaffe

Oh I forgot, this is the country where a nipple on TV causes an outrage...

It is great isn't it. Devs do have a sense of humour after all. It's just as the likes of the BBC got a hold of it that it's 'news'.
Seriously who else but people coding device drivers is going to see this?Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

It's no more sexist than making your calculator display "BOOBIES". Shame hex has got such a limited character set, the best I could ever get was 50D0FF. Just daft humour, nothing to apologise for.

Ya know, I was just flicking through the Chit Chat listings and saw this thread. "what does that mean?" I thought to myself. So I clicked.
Really? Someone got all het up over that? The world is a strange place, sometimes - and not always in an interesting way. I agree, if the meedja hadn't pretended to be all outraged by this it wouldn't have even raised a ripple...

I'm surprised MicroSoft still does that level of coding in the US.

You'd be surprised about the absolutely normal stuff that some people can get offended and upset about.
