There's been some silliness on this thread and I wanted to verify some of the data so of course I turned to Microsoft. I brought up the calendar on my XP system and slowly advanced the year forward. As it ticked to 2013 I breathed a sigh of relief, but 45 minutes later my heart stopped when I saw that Microsoft was predicting the end of the world in 2099! Ok maybe not the end of the world ... apparently there is going to be some tear in the fabric of space and time that leads us back to 1980, but that's almost as bad!

It seems more optimistic... -- -- Alexandre Dulaunoy (adulau) -- http://www.foo.be/ -- http://www.foo.be/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Diary -- "Knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance -- that we can solve them" Isaac Asimov _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
