If anyone has a way to locate these goods and by this I get back my car, a reward of 500 euros will be given! The goods were taken from Alkmaar, The Netherlands somewhere between 2004-03-11 23:00 and 2004-03-12 07:30. May the force be with you!"

    Benze is a nice care, surly anyone that can afford it can replace a mere laptop and cell easily! If you followed the golden rule of backing up you data you'd be all set. Also, doesn't your insurance cover anything that was in your car if it is stolen?

    But I can sell it to a chop shop for much more that 500 Euros.

    Oh, and BTW, bravo on the porn collection. I'm going to make a backup before I sell your laptop on eBay.

    Gee man are you been provincial?

    First the format YYYMMDD is used, and if I am not mistaken Sweden uses that. Also that format is very useful when you want to sort things. Try sorting in another date format, and you will quickly see problems being created.

    About the DDMMYYYY format, it is used in many many countries. For example Canada uses this format. It makes more sense.

    MMDDYY is not that logical when you think about it. Sure convention dictates that is how people say things, but logically it makes no sense whatsoever. Even with respect to sorting this is a bad format.
