Is it? My current credit card has an expiry date after
the end of this
year and I've never had any problems with it.
I read that it has happened in one of those panicky articles. I guess it
was fixed the day after someone became aware of the problem.
Sure. Nobody is saying that you shouldn't check
things. Just as I don't
expect a power cut at the end of this year, but I'll have a working torch
(flashlight) in the house. I always do. Power failures
can occur. I just
don't expect the date per se to be a particularly likely cause of one.
I think that 'maintenance errors' could potentially occur in power plants,
and what is more likely, some will be shut down just in case.
