Go get your Windows source code somewhere.

Kind of interesting, mostly inevitable … go figure. It looks like the leak was minor, about a CD’s worth of code for NT and 2K. The discussion on /. is pretty interesting, if mostly over my head. Loved this:

Because every idiot skr1pt k1dd13 and their lam0r grandmother can code winDOZE viriii, but only 1337 H4XX0rZ can ownzor teh LiNuX and MaC BoXxEn!!!1!!

Just when you thought the election was going to be ugly, it becomes ackward-morning-after ugly:

Drudge is reporting that Kerry was boning an intern and has recently asked her to leave the country. “A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.”… “Chris Lehane (clark press secy) has shopped around for a long time — it was one reason the Gore vetters in 2000 shied away from Kerry as a running mate choice — their conclusion that it wasn’t bad enough to disqualify him, except for the fact that they couldn’t risk it as they were trying so hard to distance themselves from Clinton’s personal failings”

Much like with Clinton, the issue isn’t that Kerry was getting a little somethin’-somethin’ on the side, but that he asked her to leave the country to avoid the scandal. The cover-up, much like many of the “issues” with Bush, is the scandal. If Kerry doesn’t make a public statement on this soon, he’s toast with conservative leaning-moderates.

So – for the last couple of months, I haven’t been able to get “Word to your moms, I came to drop bombs, I gots more rhymes than the Bible’s got Psalms” out of my head. Just that one line, not the whole song.

Anyone else got something similar rattling about?

I really like the addtion of personalization in video games. A couple weeks ago I started working my way through Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 playing as myself. That’s right. It’s me up on the screen. Using about 20 different settings I customized the avatar on the screen to look as much like me as the game allowed.

Then yesterday I finally cracked the cellophane on my copy of Tiger Woods 2004 and was ecstatic to find the game face interface which has 3-4x as many feature points. It’s a little creepy, but I really think this feature will improve my real-life golf skills.

For those who haven’t invested (or whatever the opposite of investment would be in this case) in a game system, the folks at Sout Park Studios offer this make a South Park you flash application.

This time he’s throwing snowballs at breaching penguins and there is little doubt that the Yeti is back and just as fun as the last time around.
