Men born between 1893 and 1897 reminded to register for the draft

#32I registered for the selective service and all of that, and it never really crossed my mind. 12 years later, the act seems alarmingly misandristic. It also makes me wonder if any feminists are fighting to have this law updated to include all citizens and not just males...

This gets sort of philosophical. What would be an example of a computer error?
That would be a pure hardware error. For example a cosmic ray hitting a cell the DRAM and flipping a bit. Or maybe the Intel FP-Bug, could also be a computer error. Anything else in software is a programming error, but not necessarily a programmer error, since it might start with wrong HW specs, compiler bugs, etc.
So "computer error" is when the hardware designer screws up and "human error" is when the software designer screws up? That seems pretty arbitrary.

It's against feminist interests to do so.

Or it's a legacy system they never bothered properly fixing and just used some quick hack when 2000 rolled around.
It is 2014, males born in the 2000s are not yet at an age where they would be harassed by the selective service. My estimate is we will see this blow up again in 2018.
I don't think so. It's always 118-126 years, no matter what year it is right now, so we'll only see this blow up if there's an explosion in that population.
