Memory leaks sometimes don't matter

I was told that during the operation Allied Force against Yugoslavia (March-June 1999), they used large numbers of Tomahawks (218 total...) because because the missiles were reaching their use-by date anyway, since their inboard guidance software wouldn't support the GPS calendar rollover that would happen later on August 21, 1999 and refurbishing them would be too expensive (it made more sense to buy the new generation ones).

Unless noted otherwise, code in my posts should be understood as "coding suggestions", and its use may require more neurones than the two necessary for Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.
