A new date standard?
-
So I'm at this web shop and they have a product which is expected on "30-11--0001" (for Americans, that's the logical order of day-month--year). That's a pretty weird date, I'd expect 01-01-0001 or 01-01-1970 or even 01-01-1753 (the SQL min value), but never 30-11... The extra dash between the month and the year bothers me too, that's not a standard notation anywhere as far as I know. The best part though, is that I can pre-order the product, so apparently 30-11--0001 is a date in the future! And to make it worse, it's a best selling product, so they've already sold plenty. I can only draw one conclusion from all of this: this web shop is centuries, if not millennia, ahead of us (or at least they serve time travellers)! :omg: Is your software Y10K proof? :rolleyes:

Actually it is. When the y2k problem rolled in, we decided (as a joke) to resolve the y10k problem too, so we can rest a bit when it became actual...

There's an RFC for that... [RFC 2550 - Y10K and Beyond](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2550) :laugh:

Just place as much orders for that date as possible. Stuff from this era will be worth a lot by then, and you have time enough to save for the bill :thumbsup:
