    How about setting it to 2359 8/15 and letting it roll over?

    Hi all,
      Thought I'd do some research into this little hypothesis we've all been
    seeing, what will happen on the 16th!?  Well, I've set up a named server
    (logging ALL queries into it) and an infected Win2k box (ran msblast.exe on
    it) into the same hub...and then set the date to the 16th......much to my
    surprise, NOTHING happened.  Literally, nothing.  No scanning for port 135,
    no DNS storms, no DDoS packets - nothing...what did I do wrong or...what
    does this mean?
