    I have heard thet the oil cartel is going to fix the Sun as sone as they have stoped the oil leak in the Mexican gulf

  9. Re:2012 on The Sun's Odd Behavior · · Score: 1

    No worry, the Mayan 2012 bug is greatly exagerated just like:

    * The Y2K bug was hardware based, sort of.. or rather the lack of memory.
    * The Unix 2036 bug is due to the limitations of 32bit systems.

    2012 is just the same, a breakdown of Myan monotith calendars due to limitations of the Sun. but there will be a patch i assure you

    3.1 ~ 3 + 1/pi^2 pi so there the problems start.
