Microsoft code contains the phrase 'big boobs' ... Yes, really

"Puerile sniggering at breasts contributes to the continuing impression that software development is a boys club where girls aren't welcome" This is a primary building block of such articles.<p>But in fact magic numbers are kind of art: good art shocks you a little - or a lot; more for people who are less free. Who gets offended by big boobs? People who think they are religious, as if Jesus had anything against boobs; people who think boobs are strategic weapons that should be controlled; people who are afraid of any life because life is non-professional; people who try to close their eyes on the existence of two genders; and some women that are insecure.<p>I feel sorry for the latter because I don't want any woman in the world to feel insecure. But for all other people, it's like they had this demon inside and we're exorcising and it tries to escape the host body by ripping its way outside. It's a good thing. Maybe they'll become less religious and more spiritual; maybe they'll become less restrictive; maybe they'll become less "professional" and more skilled; maybe they'll be forced to acknowledge woman and man.<p>I don't think it helps insecure girls, I even think it might actually harm them, but is this the reason to harm art? It never was. Who is responsible for insecure people? It's society. Who should be punished for that? Not artists, mind you.

Until it is proven that the coder who put that in was, in fact, a male it is highly sexist to just assume that it was a man and that ladies are not capable of being childish or being into big boobs as well. ;)

The point of this is to make sure you recognize a number as the magic number it is when you see it scrolling by in a debugger. Preprocessor directives have this problem where they don't survive the preprocessor stage.<p>Its not just a meaningless joke, it has an actual raison d'être. Of course there might be less offending choices, but this hardly ranks among the top of the problems that plague open source development (communities).

To be fair, 0xDEADBEEF may be considered offensive to hindus.

That's a horrible way to talk about Steve Ballmer.

So writing 'big boobs' in hexspeak makes you sexist....<p>I have a problem understanding this.<p>Whom should this offend?<p>How does this offend anyone?<p>How is it sexist when it didn't even specify the which sex's boob it is referring to?<p>If I name something 'curly_blond_hair' in my code, is that sexist?

I'm left wondering now what on earth those engineers were thinking.<p>Did they really not understand that this was going into an open source project? Or did the Microsofties somehow think this would work as an elaborate way of discrediting the Linux project?

This is hardly the worst thing I've ever seen in source code - mine or others'. Heck, I had a developer once send me something where the "placeholder" image was a dog turd.<p>Surely this can't be worth all the oh-noes.
