heinz, the Viennese electric utility simply put it's computers' clocks back to 1972... ROTFLOL...It is cheaper than rewriting the code. German ministry of Justice did a trial run of it's systems yesterday, which promptly led to a total power outage lasting several hours. a day earlier it was stated in a press release that they were 'fully prepared'.
