Windows Source Code Seller Arrested

Posted by samzenpus on from the stealing-is-futile dept.

prostoalex writes "New York Times says William O. Genovese Jr., 27, of Meriden, Conn. has been arrested by the Feds for selling source code for Windows NT and Windows 2000 operating systems. It's not perfectly clear whether Genovese was selling the portion of the code that was leaked earlier this year or if he had access to other portions of Windows source code. The timing, though, coincides, as the code leaked in February, the same month NYT claims the entrepreneur obtained the source code."

    Come'on... my virus-writing skills need honing...

    I'll add "features" that cause all TCP/IP connections to automatically connect to Hustler.com and download pr0n.

    Oh wait...this is Slashdot...all the users are news-group trolls...

    Probably because it called him a terrorist.

    And it's recycling the old "Stephen King" formula which usually gets modded "Troll" automatically.

    I've been using Winamp for as long as they've existed, and I've gotta say, at least before the 3.x versions, it was a *great* program. Light, fast, simple, and relatively bug free, with tons of features that you could turn on if you wanted to and add-ons that did almost anything I could imagine, as far as audio goes. I will miss Winamp. Nonetheless, I suspect that I'm not alone in saying that I'll continue using Winamp for the forseeable future. I haven't needed to upgrade from my current version (2.8 something) for quite a while, and from what I understand, a lot of long time users stopped with 2.8. So, long live Winamp!
