Aug 17

I was born on August 17th, 1980 and was browsing to see what else happened on Aug 17th.  Here are a few things that matter to a lot of people.

  • The first Compact Discs were released to the public in Germany in 1982. 200 Billion CDs were sold since then!
  • Gabon gained Independence from France in 1960
  • Indonesia declared independent in 1945
  • MD5 Collision was found by Chinese researchers in 2004

If you know of more, post it in comments :)
