The Y2K+1 Bug

from the oops dept

Tue, Jan 2nd 2001 11:22am — Mike Masnick

I've been hearing a few reports of Y2K+1 bugs. Basically, companies that put in a hack fix for Y2K that just wanted to make sure it would work on January 1, 2000, but didn't really think about what would happen the next year. Most of these are easily corrected. The biggest one I've heard of, though, is the trains in Norway stopped working Monday morning. Oops.

  Techdirt also had a manual hack fix last year. Luckily Dennis remembered it last Thursday and fixed it for real then. :) So, it looked like we were smart...
