bug

can u be more specific ???

Heh .. Its stale news .. Check this ..

i think its something to do with 32-bit processors which we use now. hence the problem
i m not very sure though.
if i m rite
33 years hence we will be using 128 or 256 bit processors and it wont be an issue

It's not hardware related at all. it's OS related. And specificaly, the amount of bits allocated to the seconds storage.

oh ok .... sorry for the mistake ... thanks for correcting ...

@ Virus .. Must've been deleted .. That pruning system sucks..

C

it something like theY2k bug,,, if u change the date and time to the above give time then ur internet explorer and Y! messenger will crash,,,,, i read it in yesterdays newspaper and tried it and my WIndows got screwed royally but nothing happened to my Linux ( Ubuntu) but its also given in the paper that few Unix system are also effected by this bug

M

hey in the next 33 years i myself might be extinct so does it really matter if yahoo massager is extinct or metamorphised to some other kind of massager

C

i guess this bug will be fixed in few days and we dont need to worry bout it,,, i wonder how come no viruses have been released in the wild which will exploit this vulnerability and crash computers

M

there r software available to test the vulnerability of our o/s...i saw it somewhere in this . try it out on your system...u'll be suprised to see that there are a few holes in your system

Thanks for that QM, will surely do that

digit does some pruning in order to free up the system from filling up..i guess....many people have lost quite a few posting because of the spring cleaning that happens here every once in awhile. yes u do have to be a bit carefull....can't do anything about it though....house rules i guess
