Is this a joke?

Half of the code didn't even make sense....is this for real, or some stupid hoax...

The code in that link that you posted is bogus. Just read the code and see.

The leak of the source code might be true, but the source code in that link is bogus.

Yeah, but there is a large amount of real source code floating around the net, like 650MB of it. It has been verified by MS. However, it's just a very small part of the total code for Win2K.

I guess the bigger question is, what will be the impact to the OS?

And us....

Hmmm - my new career development plan - or can I skip straight to the last bits

Does the
bills_bank_account += 150*megabucks
and
wave(dollars, @lusty_chicks);

have to come before the
young_blonde_virgin_with_big_boobies
stuff?

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

I read that an IE buffer overflow was identified from the leaked code already.

Anyone got a real link to the code? I'm curious if the profanity is as bad as Public Radio indicated.

What is it about programmers?
