  2. Re:John Markoff on MS Dirty Pool Against AOL? · · Score: 3

    This was in the latest comp.risks digest. The article makes reference to a NewsScan Daily article called "Spy Who Messaged Me" -- Now Playing at Microsoft!, which in turn cites the New York Times article.

  3. Re:Y2K compliant humans? on Y2K Policy with Attitude · · Score: 1
    I guess I'm not Y2K compliant... I already know I'll be writing "99" on my checks well into March, 2000.
    I actually haven't done that in a few years. Last time I did something like that was setting the time/date on my old SparcStation at work.

    On the first day back at work in 1997:

    % date 9601050905

    Oops. When I set the date back to where it should have been, the screenblanker activated mmediately.

    Oh, yes that's a 2 digit year field. SunOS 4.1.x has several application-level Y2K bugs, and the date command is one of them.
