I have been spending a lot of time IN yes IN the year 2000 and beyond. the
nice thing about computers, you can set the date ahead, and live in the
future,...
Sorry guys, nothing broke.. were good at least through march 2001, wher I've
stopped for now... (IBM Mainframe S/390) Taken many a PC over there also...
No suprises.
But, while I awas there, and running all the tests, I had a little time to
think...
Y2K, what idiot came up with that ? Anyone who knows computers knows that
2K = 2048, not 2000. so, anyone who talks about the Y2K computer bug must
mean one that is going to happen in the year 2048. But if the 2K, is really
supposed to be 2000, then the K must be Kilo(grams)... 2000 Kilograms ?
well, since a Kilogram = 2.2 american pounds, that means if is really 4400 LBS
... the Y must then stand for YOU, thus, YOU 4400lbs or YOU 2000 Kilo's..
That's why elevators are going to fail, you weight to much to ride it !
Rediculous ? Yes, and so is 99% of what I hear people say is going to happen
then... Some people (unfortunately most are pastors and teachers) have no clue
WHAT IN THE WORLD THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ! They are only spreading pandamonium.
I have a prediction, you will here this on the news 01/01/2000 ...
"Last night at midnight, a drunk driver ran off the hitting a telephone
pole, and knocking out the electricity in the tri-county are at about
midnight. People in the tri-county are began to panic, thinking the Y2K bug
had struck, and started to panic. Some begain rioting and looting, others,
fearing for their lives opened fire
with all kinds of guns shooting everything that moved." Hundreds are dead,
hundreds more wounded. Thank God the Power company restored electricity
in 1/2 an hour, or everyone around here would have been dead !"
The problem, is paranoia and panic.
Here is a test you can give someone, who talks about the Year 2000 issue,
JC penny's has this big thing about 01 01 00. it's on all kinds of Tshirts
there...
Anyhow when I see 01 01 00 ... the following comes to mind of what a
computer thinks about it ....
01 01 00 = b'00010100' = o'24' = 20 = x'14'
If they cannot tell you what that means, they have absolutely NO RIGHT talking
about the year 2000, and computer issues.
Any takers on Rangernet on what that means ?
