Re: ObjectAda and Feb 29th

Not so safe. It's just possible that some of the younger readers will be
able to benefit - before it's too late - from techniques already being
developed to completely stop the aging process. (It's too late for most of
us though :-( ;-)

No-one knows the psychological (or neurological) consequences of such
techniques yet - extended life may render the victims as mad as a
double-glazing salesman - and the moral and sociological consequences have
not been addressed (other than by Mssrs Azimov, Dick, et al) nor, taking
human nature into account, are they likely to be until it is too late
(consider how timely the preparations weren't for the 'Y2K bug' if you don't
believe me).

Of course, it would be interesting to live to the year 2400, just to see if
the C++ standard has stabilized by then.
