"The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later."
Later isn't going to work, since the server was down even before it hit the Slashdot front page. I empathize with their server.
I did, however, managed to grab the news blurb (but not the, at that point, 214 comments) from the intermittent front page:
Neowin has learned of shocking and potentially devastating news. It would appear that two packages are circulating on the internet, one being the source code to Windows 2000, and the other being the source code to Windows NT. At this time, it is hard to establish whether or not full code has leaked, and this will undoubtedly remain the situation until an attempt is made to compile them. Microsoft are currently unavailable for comment surrounding this leak so we have no official response from them at the time of writing.
This leak is a shock not only to Neowin, but to the wider IT industry. The ramifications of this leak are far reaching and devastating. This reporter does not wish to be sensationalist, but the number of industries and critical systems that are based around these technologies that could be damaged by new exploits found in this source code is something that doesn't bare thinking about.
We ask that for the wider benefit of the IT community that members and readers support Microsoft by forwarding anything they know about the leak to the Microsoft's Anti-Piracy department.
Please do not post any links/screenshots/hints or anything to do with the source code outbreak. Discussion is allowed but we will not condone people spreading this source code.
Torrent, anyone?;) (not like I would have any reason to want to have several lines of bug-infested code, as who knows to where the bugs might spread in my system)
Actually, the only way that iSync works with palms is if you have Palm software installed. When you install it, it installs Palm Desktop (the PIM software), the HotSync application, support libraries, and conduits.
The iSync for Palm basically removes the Palm Desktop conduits and adds a conduit to sync with iSync.
In order to use iSync with the Sony Clie, one of which I have, you must have Palm Desktop, Missing Sync for Clie, iCal, and the iSync for Palm installed.
Missing Sync provides the Palm HotSync communication, iSync for Palm provides HotSync iCal/Address Book.
iSync alone won't touch Palms, so it is highly unlikely that Apple will be able to bypass Palm Desktop/Hotsync completely.

Well, maybe you can't deflect a beam of light with just "Mind Power."
Because I know I can.
All seven cremated grams of you.
Also, someone on the comments posted an alleged 2.3 MB list of the files leaked as well (contains no source).
It's allegedly from the file "windows_2000_source_code.zip."
(Who knows if it's real, as it's too early to tell, probably)

Just copy/paste the URL so it doesn't have the REFERER as slashdot.org.
And even on the full site, there are no pictures.

Just in case, here is the Google cache of Google.
I just love how it has the disclaimer "Google is not affiliated with the authors of this page nor responsible for its content."

Except completely not.
You don't even have to read the article to pick this up:
"Slashback tonight brings you updates and corrections from recent and ongoing stories..."
That's all it is.
Boy, Gates' reaction after he made that comment....
No wonder this guy is "retiring."
I don't give a flying handshake, I have karma to burn.

:(
64-bit computers have to physically move data around? I suppose I'll have to buy a grappling arm attachment for my G5 to get it to work.
Agreed.
Yes, but....

Score one for non-inane posts on Slashdot.
My bad. It is 10 minutes there and back according to the other posters. I hide my head in shame.
You actually have to wait 40 minutes to see the effects of your command. It's 20 minutes there, 20 minutes back.
It takes 20 minutes to have the robot receive the commands, in other words.
Pay attention, and RTFA:
Using the machine, which launches aluminum discs across a pool of water, the researchers arrived at the "magic angle" of 20 degrees.
See above posters for why this post is wrong.
If you want to check on the poster's history, just look at his/her journal. It is then obvious that this is nonsense.
Calling "calling terms like 'metrosexual' or 'bling bling' irritating" silly is irritating.
