It could be related to limits bugs (as in the 32k backwards counting bug in one of the articles). Overrun bugs are not uncommon in software, so the fact that three different manufacturers have similar bugs would not surprise me at all....
Lesson learned: There was no lesson learned from Y2K.
Well, RC (Recent Change) is cryptic, there is
no doubt. And an experienced worker can easily
change it. The complexity comes in due to
bundling with other features (such as 3-way calling
and call-waiting) that would have to be un-bundled
as a software item on the switch for that specific subscriber. At that time, it does get messier,
and I can see some telcos just making the decision
to only change the billing side, and to leave
the software setup on the switch as is.
Unfortunately, it's under 50%. Even with a
record turnout, it was just too scary for many
people to change presidents now. The status quo
feels 'safer'.
It's strange, but too many Americans no longer
understand the strengths of the U.S. Constitution,
and fail to realize that those strengths actually
allow the country to function in a time of 'war',
and change presidents.
Well, guess what? They *WILL* have to do that in
four years.
Will it help bush? I hope not. Many of us foresaw
something regarding OBL happening immediately prior to the election anyway. The great masses of the
brainwashed electorate won't be affected by this.
It's only the very scant few that haven't made
up their mind by now that could be affected.
The anti-bush crowd is probably scared more
by the bush adminstration than OBL.
So, in summary, I'm not convinced that
bush has been helped at all.
Well, cool, glad you're convinced now. The problem
is when the people overthrowing the government
*IS* the government, how do you stop it?
And as to the GPP point about it being minimum of 5 years, i say: Not even close to being good enough.
It's treason, and the death penalty is warranted.
Again, the problem with that is, how can that
happen if the government (that 'enforces' the laws
and penalties), *IS* the government that is committing the crimes?
The problem is that if the marriage is not recognized by the government, then it does not give any of the legal and monetary privileges that go with marriage.
And the reason for those laws (that discriminate
against homosexual couples) is that homosexual
couples will not breed. The system wants growth
in the form of more consumers, and babies are
consumers.

You are.
A killjoy.

"This is a classic case of a highly concentrated industry becoming even more concentrated."
Gee, the good ol days, when the DOJ gave a damn.
But, if it really smells, then why did Novell buy SuSE?
Yes, flash has been in-use for days now.
That's sad now that Novell just got a $536M infusion of cash from MS.
It's not. However, the TPTB are more comfortable in an opposite environment.
Exactly the way the beast wants it.
Similar to a SCO license.
Don't use Windows.
Yeah, that's the ticket!
It's all a conspiracy by **AA to guarantee short shelf life.
Woah. We don't slobber. We may drool however.

Not a rumour actually. Just a result of the silent majority speaking up. There are many voters that did not vote in 2000.

Spot on. Whomever modded you flamebait is just part of the problem.
I believe fewer Kerry supporters answer the phone that bush supporters, hence phone polls are skewed.

And it's Coralized and still slashdotted.
