Well, the NewtonTalk list has been buzzing lately about the Y2K10 bug that is going to plague Newtons come next year. So what is it? It's similar to the Y2K bug (or oversight depending how you look at it) that was a headache on our computers not so long ago.Here is an explanation from Andrei:The basic issue is that the time calculations that deal with time containing seconds work with integers, and

Τις προάλλες είχα μια ενδιαφέρουσα συζήτησή με τον πατέρα μου. Με ρώτησε πόσα κάνω και του είπα. Παρεμπιπτόντως κάνουμε τα ίδια σχεδόν λεφτά (απ' ότι μου είπε αυτός δηλαδή). Τελικά μου είπε πως για να μπορώ να τα βγάλω πέρα

It's like super mario on Nintendo systems, you gotta have them all!Sonic 2 played like the original sonic, so once I had beaten the first sonic game I was in the groove, and I was able to play this game without the same level of frustration that I had with the original sonic.
