And that weird backward notation is used in almost everywhere outside the US. Michael Dunn wrote: the code will crash in the US It's not code, it's a date and time. But anyway, I get your point :) - Khaled In C we could create our own bugs. With C++ we can inherit them.

Sorry, that reply was supposed to be for Bruce Duncan. - Khaled In C we could create our own bugs. With C++ we can inherit them.

But hey, at least we get to witness one of those moments :) I know what some will say, "who cares?!!" .. well, it's not that exciting really, but it's just an interesting notice nothing more :) Be well ... - Khaled In C we could create our own bugs.

Tomorrow, as the clock ticks over from 8:01PM on Wednesday, February 20th, 2002, time will (for sixty seconds only) read in perfect symmetry. To be more precise: 20:02, 20/02, 2002. It is an event which has only ever happened once before, and is something which will never be repeated. The last occasion that time read in such a symmetrical pattern was a millennium ago, long before the days of the digital watch (or the 24-hour clock): 10:01AM, on January 10, 1001 which would have registered 10:01, 10/01, 1001 but probably looked totally different in Roman characters. And because the clock only goes up to 23:59, it is something that will never happen again. Unless, of course, Microsoft decides to change the way we read time :) - Khaled In C we created our own bugs. With C++ we can inherit them.
