I distinctly remember the Wired article that claimed power plants would fail - in an anecdote they said - "Imagine a temperature sensor reading comes in and the system then divides it by the year, the system now sees the temp as infinity and the whole plant shuts down". I read it a few times to make sure I followed and then asked myself, why exactly would you divide the temperate by the last two digits from the year? Wired anyway thought you would do that and it was going to cause massive failure.
