Thanks a lot, assholes. Thanks for fucking nothing.
You're welcome. I already told you: I won't help you anymore. I helped
you twice and you pretended that never happened, so you can, as you
believe, take care of yourself. Or try to, as I know you can't.
I found the source of the problem all by my lonesome,
because you lackeys couldn't pull yourselves away from
your little kiddie games.
Once again, I won't lose my time helping you anymore. It looks like some
here gave you some hints, but as always, you are to stupid to understand
them.
Now listen carefully.
You really believe that you could teach me anything? You are a well
known first class illiterate who read books only in your dreams. That's
a promise, the fun should follow.
Officially, the Gregorian calendar was introduced on
Oct 15, 1582. The previous date, in the Julian calendar,
was Oct 4, 1582. There is a jump from Oct 4 to Oct 15.
OK, you copy/past wikipedia, nothing new.
However, much of the rest of the world only adopted the
Gregorian calendar (GC) later. In Britain and the Americas,
the GC wasn't adopted until Sept 3, 1752.
Still wikipedia but without the knowledge to understand it. For your
information, at that time, Britain possessed only a part of north
America. So when the British colonies switched to Gregorian calendar,
most of the Americas were already using it.
I'm not surprised you didn't know that.
As a consequence, the Unix "cal" command defaults to
Sept 3, 1752:
The explanation is easy to understand: like you, the UNIX founders
believed that the USA is all that exists. They had, like you today, very
narrow minds. And the rest of the world struggle because of it. And it's
the major point against Microsoft products: a lot of bugs happen when
you are not a native English speaker because Microsoft consider everyone
should be native English speakers and the rest of the world can go to
hell.
And that's why I call all of Microsoft products garbage: because as a
French speaker, nothing is correctly handled. When I was young and
didn't heard about Linux, I tried to find a way around it, but Microsoft
considered a fraud to buy a Windows OS in USA to use it at home in
France. The best way to install is was to tell Windows I was a Canadian
living in France to be able to have something not too buggy. And when I
discovered Linux, it didn't take me long to put Windows where it
belongs: in the garbage can. And let it be there for as long as
possible.
And that's something American Windows fanboys like DFS and you will
never understand: when you want to use your own language Microsoft is a
curse if it's not English.
Well before I was able to learn some programming language I learned what
an out of range memory was. Because Microsoft reserved just enough
memory to put the messages strings in them. And as French is a little
bit longer than English the French translations didn't fit in the
English slots and Windows never stopped to crash.
And what's great about Linux: it has been created by a nonnative English
speaker who learned English. So everything was done well from the start.
When Windows still has the issues it had thirty years ago.
The jump from Sept 2-14 is quite obvious. The whole month only has
19 days!
So, right now, when do you really have to take care of three hundred
years old events in your programs or in your life?
With LibreOffice Calc, there is no PGC. We can observe the jump
at Oct 5, 1582 and all prior dates use the Julian calendar.
Rely, I dont care about issues about things that don't matter. Nobody is
concerned about that. You should take care of actual problems in actual
life. I knew you are stuck in the past, I didn't knew it was that long
ago.
