april fool prank cannot anyhow anyhow de.... >.<
Ten years ago (1999), ST published a really convincing article
on how some local 17-year old kid managed to create a program that
could solve the impending Y2K bug easily.
My Maths teacher (a tech whiz) fell for it hook, line and
sinker..... she told my class about about the boy and how we should
all be like him.
Unfortunately, the story was published on April 1..... and when
ST exposed the joke the next day, my teacher was the subject of
much ridicule among my peers (and hers).
Seriously, I have contempt for newspapers who publish April
Fools jokes like this..... want to publish something, at least
publish an outright stupid joke that only the greatest numbskulls
on earth would ever accept.....
