And WTF does that        IJ> have to do with dead people on Social Security.              I happen to know at least five people who still work with COBOL as their job,       sadly for them.              The Social Security system uses it. Dates that are blank are       stored as May 20, 1875 (zero point), thus making some records show people       being 150 years old. It has to due with ISO:8601 standards.               IJ> If there is a problem fix it. If there is a potential vulnerability fix        IJ> it.              Congress needs to vote on a budget to fix it first.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A48 (Linux/64)        * Origin: The Phantom BBS - bbs.phantombbs.info (1:129/42)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 114/201 124/5009 128/187 129/12 14 42 102       SEEN-BY: 129/125 160 165 305 328 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 206 300 307 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 261/1 220       SEEN-BY: 266/75 512 618 625 630 267/152 154 291/111 292/854 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26 5075/35       PATH: 129/42 266/512 229/426           |
