Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well, I can agree that now the date on the article is 10/29/2024. When I posted this comment, it was dated 2014. I do see that internet archive has copies of the site that have the 2024 date but not from yesterday. Maybe a dead cmos battery or other time sync error changed the date temporarily yesterday. I don't have any other explanation, but I do respectfully withdraw my former opinion about the article.
A simple typo?
I assumed that web servers handle date variables in this age. But you're absolutely right, we can't assume that.
