Maybe it was a French knife, dropped in battle during a very minor skirmish with Norse tourists, who then grabbed it for a souvenir before leaving for a cruise to North America.

I registered a couple domains today at the same time (part of the same order) and I got an email that states when they expire. One expires on February 28th, 2013 and the other on March 1st, 2103. Leap year bug? Or maybe it's a "feature" (they randomly choose one of the two adjacent days for the expiration of domains registered on a leap day).

If you take the average of february 28th and march 1st you get february 29th... Duh 
It's an OO world.

Was this time a noon? Maybe they do Round()? First one was registered at 12:00:00 and the second one at 12:00:01? 
|

I bet the first one was on February 28th. And that the server then entered a new day in it's own time-zone.

Yep, Chris wrote that in a recent Code Project newsletter.

I'd go for the second one because it doesn't expire until 2103. That's 91 years from now.

Well, we had a funny that took up most of Tuesday. Any .Net DateTimePickers in a WinForm that had a custom date format that didn't show the day (e.g. just showing Month and Year - 'MM yyyy') caused an exception on trying to change the year.
Internally, the control didn't change the day when changing the year from 2012 to 2011, causing a date of 29/02/2011. The DTP threw an exception.
This affected 17 forms in 1 program. To get round it, on loading the form I made sure that the date was formatted to 01/ + whatever the current month and year are.

That's what you get for using the "Julian" calendar.

Very funny.... 
And I meant Wednesday in my post not Tuesday BTW.

You could code a more frequent bug by formatting to 31/ + whatever the current month and year are.
Or change the default format to US standards of mm/dd/yyyy for even more frequent problems.

Once upon a time I wrote control software for a device that had maintained its own date and time. My application set the date and time to match the controlling PC, for the sake of consistency.
While we were testing this, we discovered that the device didn't let me set leap days: February 29th. I explained this to the yutz who wrote the firmware for the device, and he gave me a correction.
Now the device wouldn't let me set dates in February at all.

What time was this? (In UTC time. In your local time. The local time of the registering authority?)
You add a year or 365 days in SQL on a Feb 29 date, it is Feb. 28. You add a year or 365 days on Feb 28th in a leap year, you get Feb 28 OR Feb 27. It's 4PM here now, so we just turned to a new day on UTC time.

In our software we had a verification if the person is older than 18 years
That went wrong on 29th February, because someone just did this: Today() -18 years
The date was invalid then and the verification said the person is under 18 years although it was older than 18 years old.

Which one would you choose A or B?
Thank you in advance

If you are talking about them to somebody that is not part of their team, you might say "The Microsoft team did such and such." And if you were sending them an email, you might start it with "Microsoft Team,". However, if there are multiple Microsoft teams that you could be referring to, you might say "A Microsoft team did such and such." If you are part of the Microsoft team in question and you are signing an email, you might write "-The Microsoft Team" or "-Your Microsoft Team" (if you want to convey a feeling that your team is comitted to that customer).
