Counting to 10 breaks the Web
Opera Software (makers of arguably the finest web browser known to man) recently uncovered a latent Y2k-esque bug aflicting many major websites. In pioneering the revolutionary concept of a two-digit version number, Opera 10 (currently in alpha) has shone a light on the sins of dozens of shoddy JavaScript hackers.
I can’t really understand how this happened. Even less gifted “webmasters” should be able to grasp the concept of 10 without taking their shoes and socks off.
