Anyone Besides Zune Owners With New Year's Crashes? 480

aputerguy writes "My Fedora 8 Linux server crashed sometime between 18:59:40 EST (GMT -5:00) and 19:00:00 EST (GMT -5:00) on Dec 31, 2008 which remarkably corresponds to within at most 20 seconds of the New Year in GMT. I have been running this same hardware non-stop for more than six years and other than the occasional reboot for kernel (or distro) upgrades, it has not crashed more than 1 or 2 times in 2237 days of cumulative uptime. Nothing other than background processes were running at the time of the crash. Could this be a coincidence or was there some 2008/2009 rollover issue going on here? Has anyone (other than Zune 30GB owners) noticed similar year-end issues with their computers or electronic devices?"

Hotels have been setting room temperatures for years now. They save $$ by not heating/cooling rooms until the guest checks in. Then while they are on their way, they blast the room until it comes up to the temperature the guest set the room the last time they came. Its more about financial savings than new technology. Ok, so having your minibar automatically refilled might be cool but who can afford that anyway?
