    Heh no, the founder was Ian Murdock and his wife's name was Debbie. Close though.

    I don't know if you have heard but Windows 2000 is delayed and they will have to rename it to Windows 1901.

    I thought he serves a term of 2 years? E.g. 1901.

    Hopefully his first priority will be making the web page a little more exciting!

    I see that some things in Slashdot are organized in date directories, something like: .../yy/mm/dd/...article_file. (For example, the URL on my screen now reads, "http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?op=post&sid=99/02 /04/1050210&pid=62". Will slashdot will have some Y2K issues come the new year, related to sorting articles, or something like that?

    That's funny. I thought Linux and other *xes had a 2038 problem. Well, the 32 bit ones do. Any guesses what architecture we'll be using by then? Maybe we won't even bother to measure in bits any more.
