Only thing with Y2K people were actively working to prevent it. Thousands and thousands of man hours were employed to prevent things from screwing up, but in this case we have people throwing ‘gas’ on the fire, not trying to put it out.
Yes, exactly. Stimulus, cap/trade, Jobs bill, etc, all of these phoney programs are designed to bankrupt the nation, hence Obama's statement last week of "making tough choices next year". We will have to pay for all of this garbage. Companies are expanding operations overseas and downsizing over here. A lot of freepers say it is too late for us, no matter the outcome in November. I am personally hoping for a bloodbath. We take back every seat in Congress.
And..praying a lot for divine intervention.
Yep, and Y2K remediation was such a stunning success that the people in the IT business were slated for destruction, much like the wheat farmers in the Ukraine.
“Only thing with Y2K people were actively working to prevent it.”
Not exactly true. The Doomers were saying that chips would fail in every device which is why the world was going to end. We never did anything to the chips.
Famous farce. I have been in computing since 1967. There never was any such danger from the "Y2K bug", especially in embedded devices. The worst that could have ever happened in the business world is sorts would be in the wrong order. You see, we all learned about the calendar system before we got jobs in computing. Most embedded devices never used date and time.
