Hello folks
Something to amuse on a grey Friday afternoon.
When websites needlessly ask for personal details, I often give my date
of birth as 1 January 1970 -- the beginning of the 'Unix epoch', and
often stored as zero; date/times before that are negative numbers --
just to see if anything breaks.
And I've found something that does break! If you go to signup.live.com
and create a new Microsoft ID account, it tells you that 1/1/1970 is not
a valid date!
Sloppy coding in there somewhere. And a bit tough on people who were
really born on that day.
cheers
Chris
