It's just simple math.. not that scary. It will work again in 2010 if they change a number or two up in their formula thing.

I'm with lews - The whole reason that it works is because you have to subtract the year of your birth (which is effectivly your age) during the sum. If you never had to enter your age during the sum then I'd accept it was scary.

Magic number = current year - 250
Pick a Number between 1 and 10.
Mulitply it by 2 - Gives us a guarenteed even number
Add 5 - Gives us a guarenteed odd number
Mulitply by 50 - Gives us a number that when added to 1750 will be 2000 + (100 * your number).
Add Magic number - This give us the year plus (100 * your number)
Subtract your year of birth - Bingo

My browser said that the site contained malware, so I'm avoiding it. I've seen a number of tricks like this before. They're quite clever.
