It's also possible that the development team was sent e-mails about specific project details, and they just dropped the files in the corresponding directories.
Examples:

However, there are 2,137 of them, and they all contain 0 bytes of data. Seems a bit bizarre, no?
Also, here's something rather funny:

Hooray! Now we can figure out how to pop up a message box!
Statement from Microsoft Regarding Illegal Posting of Windows Source Code
REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 12, 2004 -- On Thursday, Microsoft became aware that portions of the Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 source code were illegally made available on the Internet. It's illegal for third parties to post Microsoft source code, and we take such activity very seriously.
We are currently investigating these postings and are working with the appropriate law-enforcement authorities.
At this point it does not appear that this is the result of any breach of Microsoft's corporate network or internal security.
At this time there is no known impact on customers. We will continue to monitor the situation.
... and this affects me... how? I'm going to stop coding XML now, correct? Bzzt. Wrong.
I'm too lazy to read the article, and IANAL, but I get the feeling that this isn't going to stand for too long.
it can even be therapeutic for those 'facing social isolation and loneliness.'
I have only one thing to say. I'm clinically depressed, and my main form of coping was to get on my computer and surf the 'net aimlessly for hours on end. This is NOT therapeutic - it is an escape from reality. Nothing - repeat, nothing - can replace real human interaction, no matter how inviting it may seem.
...A child only needs to publish one story with horrible punctuation and spelling, then receive constructive negative feedback, and suddenly they realize how ridiculous they're being.
I would almost believe you, except for the fact that I've had numerous discussions with people aged 14 and older about how poor their grammar skills are, and they simply say that it's cool. Kids do not care about their writing skills anymore, because nobody has to write anything by hand anymore.
Example: "dun tell me how 2 spel", "ive got a rite to bare arms", "bare means carry, bear is an animal"...
Kids have no interest in improving themselves. This is a result of the openness of the internet.
Not only does it fail XHTML 1.0 Transitional verification, it failed every OTHER one as well: XHTML 1.1, XHTML Basic 1.0, XHTML 1.0 Strict, XHTML 1.0 Transitional, XHTML 1.0 Frameset, HTML 4.01 Strict, HTML 4.01 Transitional, HTML 4.01 Frameset, HTML 3.2 and HTML 2.0 . Pity.
You don't know what you're talking about. ADD is most definitely associated with a defective brain. However, please note that the defect is not one that affects intelligence, just behavior. About.com says:
"ADD/ADHD is a neurological disorder. According to the National Institute of Health, between 3% and 5% of the population in this country are affected by ADD/ADHD. The major symptoms of the disorder are distractibility, forgetfulness, inability to concentrate, poor attention span and impulsiveness."
ADD is mainly caused by problems with brain chemistry in the frontal lobe. Signals sent across the brain's synaptic gaps are often transmitted more slowly than they would be in a non-ADD brain, thus causing the problems listed above.
Drugs used to combat ADD, such as Ritalin and Straterra, are stimulants. Rather than cause greater distraction and hyperactivity, they help to speed along messages crossing synaptic gaps, thus helping to reduce the problems associated with ADD. Read more about these medications (and others) here.
Personally, I've noticed that most people with ADD tend to be brighter than those without it. Every person I've known with ADD (myself included) seems capable of learning new things very quickly. As a result, ADD is both a blessing and a curse.
For those of you on Ritalin: Stop using it. It is hurting you more than you know. It has messed with both my memory and my metabolism. Once I got off of Ritalin, I grew about a foot and a half. Granted, I was going through puberty, but this was over a period of six months and was more growth than I had seen in the previous year. Also, I have almost no memory of the years that I was on Ritalin, even though it was less than eight years ago. People who went to school with me remember those years perfectly, and I can't remember them at all. Ritalin is BAD for you.
How about "because it isn't difficult to spell correctly, so long as you have half a brain"?
If you're ever unsure of a word, check out dictionary.com. It'll save you a lot of stress later on; you won't have people responding to you with messages like this one's parent.
For now I'm just interested in implementing a small base of functions, so that you could use those to 'bootstrap' the more difficult ones. I'm basing it off of the specification for ANSI common lisp; I'll probably publish it under the GPL; and I will of course welcome any help people might offer.
Though PedroM has only been available for under a week now (publicly), I've already written the first piece of software designed for it. The program, MLib, is a collection of OS extensions that allow you to do a lot more with PedroM than you can with the OS alone. You can find MLib for the TI-89 at this page, and for the TI-92+ at this page. Enjoy!
Actually, no. PedroM does not have a Computer Algebra System (CAS), which is the TI-89/92+/v200's main claim to fame. It can do simple arithmetic (add, subtract, divide, multiply), and sine, cosine, and tangent functions - but not much else.
You guys are missing something here - '&#xxx;' inserts character #xxx into a web page. For example, inserts character 0x01 into the page, and inserts 0x00. You can use this to get the characters necessary to produce spoofed URLs.
Also, the %XX thing works nicely in a URL. For example:
http://www.google.com%01%00www.slashdot.org
would work.
Just imagine what would happen if someone designed particles that targetted our white bloods cells, or on a lower level even our DNA. What kind of havoc could they wreak if someone released them into the air at quantities large enough that they would make it into the bloodstream through the lungs or the stomach?
Sure He does. Read "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. Gods are born when people believe in them, and they die when nobody does anymore. It's simple, really.
Also, let's not forget that the NRA and the KKK were founded at the same time. Hmm...
"Well, we've got guns, now all we need is something to shoot!"
"Hey, look! There are some black people over there! Nobody likes them anyway -- we can use them as target practice!"
Utterly horrid.
Riddle me this:
The majority (I think all but two or three) of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi. Why did we start bombing Afghanistan and leave Saudi Arabia alone? Does that make any sense?

I believe they've already done that. Perhaps you've heard about it already? It was released (with hundreds of imrpovements) under the name "Linux".

I'm sorry, but if I am going to say "I am not a lawyer", I will NEVER shorten it to "I Anal."

Wow! Someone read the books! Still teaching trolls to read in school these days? Amazing.

It's Latin, but I don't know what it means.
I am actually working on that right now, and hope to have it finished within a couple months.

In a word, no. In another word, yes.
