I don’t know if this bug occurs in newer versions of MySQL, older versions are not affected!

When the following code is executed, the complete MySQL Server crashes with an error code 11:

SELECT DATE_FORMAT("0000-01-01",'%W %d %M %Y') AS `currentdate`;
SELECT DATE_FORMAT("0000-02-28",'%W %d %M %Y') AS `currentdatafull`;

You can replace the date used in the DATE_FORMAT() function with any date between 0000-01-01 and 0000-02-28.

MySQL is working on a solution right now, the bug has been labeled as critical so a fix should be on the way fast.

The bug report itself cannot be viewed be everyone, because of the severity of the bug!

Microsoft has a majority market share

Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC marketplace.
This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix.

Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world’s population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

Steps to repeat:

1. Visit a local PC store.

What happens:
2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed.
3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed.

What should happen:
1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu.
2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all.
3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.

I hope that in a couple of year we can consider this bug as solved, and that Ubuntu will be as widely spread as Microsoft Windows!

In Internet Explorer and Firefox it works fine, but not in Opera.

I found the solution at the guys from CodeUtopia.

It seems that the javascript button saying that Google Spreadsheets only supports Internet Explorer and Firefox never returns the value of the confirmation box back to the webpage, so Google Spreadsheets always thinks that you’ve clicked Cancel!

CodeUtopia is raising the question if Google only tests their software on Internet Explorer and Firefox, or also other browsers.

CodeUtopia offers a solution for the problem; you can use their UserJS file which will fix your problem so you van use Google Spreadsheets also in Opera:

// ==UserScript==
// @include http://*.spreadsheets.google.com/*
// @include https://*.spreadsheets.google.com/*
// @include http://spreadsheets.google.com/*
// @include https://spreadsheets.google.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
(function(){
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') != -1)
{
alert('Google Spreadsheets is blocking Opera. \nDo the following to fix it:\n\n' +
'1. Right click the page and choose Edit Site Preferences\n' +
'2. Choose the Network tab\n' +
'3. From Browser identification, choose Mask as Firefox\n' +
'4. Reload the page');
return;
}

//Attempt to repair Spreadsheets' browser detection
window.opera.addEventListener('AfterScript',function(ev){
if(!ev.element.src ||
ev.element.src.indexOf('trix_core.js') == -1)
{
return;
}

var func = getBrokenFunction(ev.element.text);
if(func == null)
return;

window.opera.defineMagicFunction(func, function(){
return true;
});
}, false);

//Fix buggy cell editor style
window.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(ev){
var style = document.createElement('style');
style.setAttribute('type', 'text/css');

var css = '.editBoxWrapper { overflow: hidden !important; }';

style.innerHTML = css;
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(style);
}, false);

/**
* Attempts to locate the broken function in the spreadsheets
* code that's breaking Opera support
* @param string code
* @return string|null function name or null on failure
*/
function getBrokenFunction(code)
{

var rex = new RegExp(
'_getInstanceOfApp\([^)]+\)[^{]*\{' + //Match start of function
'[^}]+' +     //Match function contents
'\}',         //Match function end
'm');
var match = rex.exec(code);

if(!match)
return null;

var funcStr = match[0];
rex = /if\(([^(]+)/im; //Match if clause and a function name inside it

match = rex.exec(funcStr);
if(!match[1])
return null;

return match[1];
}
})();
