HAHA... this is pretty funny...

Basically there seems to be a "millennium bug" in M$'s Zune music player which mean they are all crashing and locking up today :rofl:

Linky to Zune Forum

think someone might loose their job for this one lol :cool:

Oooh dear... wonder why it has a problem with 2009? lol

:rofl:

Mr Gates will not be happy... Quite funny though, seeing as nothing really happened on the millenium!

That was because we'd all spent the previous year working our guts out to make sure it wouldn't!

:rofl:

That's the first time I've seen your girlfriend Colin......

She is very, err,err, with a large, umm,umm........

Is she foreign perchance?

Thats not good, and will probably send a few people in Apple's direction.

Its the beard that does it... :naughty:

Completely off topic, but reminds me of this: Bar da Boa - I know I posted this years ago, but for those that don't know, put your name in first box, and swmbo's name in 2nd

Let me see here...

year = ORIGINYEAR; /* = 1980 */

while (days > 365)
{
   if (IsLeapYear(year))
   {
       if (days > 366)
       {
           days -= 366;
           year += 1;
       }
   }
   else
   {
       days -= 365;
       year += 1;
   }
}

Well, that looks right, so surely it will work, right? :confused:

Maybe not:

Under normal circumstances, this works just fine. The function keeps subtracting either 365 or 366 until it gets down to less than a year's worth of days, which it then turns into the month and day of month. Thing is, in the case of the last day of a leap year, it keeps going until it hits 366. Thanks to the if (days > 366), it stops subtracting anything if the loop happens to be on a leap year. But 366 is too large to break out of the main loop, meaning that the Zune keeps looping forever and doesn't do anything else.

Nice to see MS keeping the quality up...

Oh dear

I'm sure they will soon have a firmware update to sort it out, and probably have to give a few customers a couple of free mp3's to keep the slagging off to a minimum.

Apparently because it was a problem with the leap-year they have all fixed themselfs now..

I'm sure that Microsoft will release another version of the Zune before the next leap year.

This isn't good... Nice to see that they have messed up again. Stupid Loops - Looks like I can't get away from them at the moment.
