LOL at Microsoft

Whole article below, but here's my favorite part;

Microsoft has also managed to upset women and entire countries. A Spanish-language version of Windows XP, destined for Latin American markets, asked users to select their gender between "not specified," "male" or "bitch," because of an unfortunate error in translation.

Not really, turns out the word for woman in spanish, is kind of an insult in another spanish speaking country. Not uncommon, look at English and the differences between American English and the english spoken by the British.

One of the Lightspeed programmers spent a lot of time in school in England. Every day at 11AM we go out for a FAG.
