  • "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.

    The string was used every time the Microsoft program ran a virtual version of Linux."
