NASA still crippled by Y2K bug!!

"Discovery is set for a nighttime launch on Dec. 7, the start of 12 days in space. It will be the first night launch in four years."

"If the launch doesn't get off Dec. 7, NASA can keep trying through Dec. 17. After that, the agency will likely call it quits until January. NASA wants Discovery back from its 12-day mission by New Year's Eve because shuttle computers aren't designed to make the change from the 365th day of the old year to the first day of the new year while in flight."

What the heck!!???
