More Y2K+1 Bugs
from the oops dept
It's amazing how people made such a big deal about the Y2K bugs which never showed up, and now there are a ton of Y2K+1 bugs (we've already mentioned one of them). It looks like a bunch of them were caused by people who simply put in a lame fix for their original Y2K problem. The funniest one is 7-Eleven who apparently spent $8 million on their Y2K fix last year... and it only last one year.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
