Default 2010 Bug Plagues Germany

krou writes "According the Guardian, some 30 million chip and pin cards in Germany have been effected by a programming failure, which saw the microchips in cards unable to recognise the year change. The bug has left millions of credit and debit card users unable to withdraw money or make purchases, and has stranded many on holiday. French card manufacturer Gemalto accepted responsibility for the fault, 'which it is estimated will cost euro;300m (pound;270m) to rectify.' They claim cards in other countries made by Gemalto are unaffected."pa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/01/07/1327232/2010-Bug-Plagues-Germany?from=rss"img src="http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/01/07/1327232"/a/ppa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/01/07/1327232/2010-Bug-Plagues-Germany?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./ppa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/1vJ1PqJe8NRUoldKPl7KyCoO_fE/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/1vJ1PqJe8NRUoldKPl7KyCoO_fE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/1vJ1PqJe8NRUoldKPl7KyCoO_fE/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/1vJ1PqJe8NRUoldKPl7KyCoO_fE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/awljlu_dOXE" height="1" width="1"/
