[ILUG] [OT] Doh. Y2k bug? - bets ?

[Shane Dempsey]

Looks like Netscape introduced a
Y2k bug into their javascript implementation.

Is there any end to the crapness of this product ?
Hopefully somebody's new year's resolution will be
to write a good browser for Linux.

Going back to my previous mail about dodgyfone
I'm pretty sure that there just weren't enough time
slices available for all the callers and that's why it screwed
up for a while. The same thing happened in Japan.
I briefly considered trying to make a bet that this would happen but I
couldn't get odds. Just wondering if anybody else had a similiar idea and
managed to make a
bet.


Sorry for all the OT-ness.

win v lin is like auto versus stick shift. One is easy but
lacks control , the other gives greater speed but is
hell in traffic - overheard
