The topic is the Y2K bugs ugly sister the 9999 bug Basicly 9999 is used in very old software as a "stop here" feald.. it's also how some of those old computers will record todays date.
9999 bug? so it has caused problems somewhere in the world?
If he had just had a little more vision, he could have dropped nukes on Washington.
I would be typing in German. I would think the "Allies" were nuts out to destroy the world. Everything would be just fine for me, because I would have been born into it. Never knowing any different.
It's that not knowing anything different that I enjoy. Like some of the people I have contact with every day. They don't have a clue and don't want one. They are happy and don't want to be bothered with facts.

I posted this story weeks ago!
Star Trek rules!
I'm going to make a Beowulf cluster
and put it in a fish tank full of
mineral oil.
Andover can lock me out, but they
can't shut me up. I'll find a
way back in.

Not a bad idea to have some
survival equipment/food around.
Look at the earthquakes in Turkey and Greece.
Nature could turn on us at any time.
And hey, if Y2K doesn't end the world, you will
be able to pick up great camping gear for next to
nothing at garage sales!

I like this new system.
Every program I've ever written looks at
the date to determine what to do next.
It's very common.
Textbooks have been written on the subject of
date checking.
Don't you just love the media.
And the sheeple they feed.

How many shares of Red Hat does
Bill Gates own?
Could he own all of them?
"We do not share them with any third party,including the National Security Agency or any other government agency."
Is this a Clintonism?
We do not share them
^^^^^
Do they give them away?
This thing has a back door in the
vegetable crisper drawer!
The NSA can keep track of what you eat!
Say, is that beer American?
Why do you like whole milk? Don't you want to
be healthy?
Close the door and the light stays on! Because
there is a RapidCam in the door!
Bar code readers record exactly whats in there
all the time!
THEY know everything! You can't stop them!

Ole Dolf was one wacky dude.
If he had just had a little more vision, he
could have dropped nukes on Washington.

the Nazi party was "National Socialist"
how could they be "right wingers"?
Any part of the government can do
anything it wants to.
It's a free country.
I've read that phones can be listened to
even when on the hook
but I'm just crazy
like a small church?

you can flush congress every two years
I call it "term limits"
