Software grows up too, for better or worse. I find this less surprising than nmap losing "...requires root privileges which you do not appear to possess. Sorry, dude."

I think like people software should have character and history as long as they do not interfere with functionality. I am always a bit sad seeing either one go.

If you come up with a way to make sure no one ever gets offended again, let us know. =/

We had to pull a Konami code easter egg from our website when a customer complained.

What a sad human they must be to know the Konami code but somehow not appreciate it.

If the result of entering the Konami code were sexist, misogynist, homophobic, racist, etc. I could see how someone might not appreciate it. I don't know what the issue was in this instance...but, I've seen nerds make pretty stupid jokes that cross lines. (And, I'm coming at this not from a politically correct sort of perspective, but instead from a, "check your privilege and try to stop being an asshole to people who have less power and privilege than you".)

I can imagine people being offended depending on what happened when the code was entered.

(I actually don't know where we got the source code from; it was added before my time.)

Woah, sweet!!
