Year 2000 Computer Bug Hoax POSTSCRIPT This website was frozen on December 31, 1999, as a permanent document on how all of us acted and reacted to the Y2K myth from 1997 to 1999. Enjoy reading all of the emails , especially the wild ones from 1998. - David Robert Loblaw, 03 January 2000 A Canadian's opinion piece on this mischievous deception The hysteria surrounding the Year 2000 computer bug will be the biggest money-making hoax in my lifetime. This web-site, originally created in the Fall of '97, is my way of congratulating everyone involved in this elaborate and perfectly-executed scam. Well done! I’m in awe of the people who inflated this issue from a simple computer problem into mythical proportions. I don’t want it stopped; I’m eager to continue to watch the hoax unfold. There is no way it can be stopped anyway as far too many people have an interest in this being perceived as a big problem. No one who’s making money on it or whose reputation is on the line is going to drop their poker face until 01/01/00.

The conference, is being held in Beirut today to discuss the probable effects on corporations, banks, and the Arab states' economy as a whole. The computer software problem that afflicts the Saudi Bank and others stems from software that was programmed long time ago, where "a year" in computer records is represented as two digits, such as "97" to imply the year 1997. This leads to a problem as representing the year 2000 with "00" would be interpreted by a computer as the year 1900, as opposed to the year 2000. So for example, a person born in the year 2000, will be seen by the computer as a 100 year-old person. These kind of errors threaten to paralyze computer systems that control millions of transactions and accounts in governments, companies, banks, payment systems and general services that rely on accurate date and time representation for accurate calculations.

Year 2000 in a Nutshell By Norman Shakespeare Publisher: O'Reilly Media Released: September 1998 Pages: Tweet Description This reference guide addresses the awareness, the managerial aspect, and the technical issues of the Year 2000 computer dilemma, providing a compact compendium of solutions and reference information useful for addressing the problem. Includes a comprehensive Cobol quick reference, plus reference for date-related functions in many other languages. Also includes templates, worksheets, and action plans. Full Description In the past when code was tight and memory scarce, it was standard practice to use two-digit storage (for example 68 for the year 1968) for date code within software. Unfortunately, when the clock rolls over at midnight on the last day of December 1999, many computers won't recognize "00" as the correct date. This Year 2000 (Y2K) dilemma may potentially render many applications and hardware ineffective, unless the code is altered. This is a global problem that will affect everybody and must be seriously addressed since time is a crucial factor. The Year 2000 situation affects the mainframe environment most heavily, but it can affect PCs as well. Any company that is running older software and hardware must pay attention to revising date code in programs, and possibly even updating software, the operating system, and even hardware. Other areas of concern are the millions of access-control, point of sale, process-control, and other peripherals that utilize date-stamping and grouping functions embedded in firmware.

Why Isn’t the Government Doing More About the Year 2000 Problem? 105th CONGRESS 1st SESSION S.22 To establish a bipartisan national commission to address the year 2000 computer problem. IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES January 21, 1997 Mr. MOYNIHAN introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Governmental Affairs A BILL To establish a bipartisan national commission to address the year 2000 computer problem. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the "Commission on the year 2000 Computer Problem Act". SECTION 2. FINDINGS Congress makes the following findings: (1) A devastating computer problem will have extreme negative economic and national security consequences in the year 2000 and in subsequent years, unless the Federal Government addresses and remedies that problem. (2) Most computer programs (particularly programs in mainframes) in computers used by both the public and private sector express dates with only 2 digits, on the assumption that the first 2 digits are "19" (3) Because of the problem referred to in paragraph (2), most computer programs_

9. Year 2000 Problem - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem, the millennium bug, the Y2K bug, or simply Y2K) was a problem for both digital (computerrelated) and non-digital documentation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2000_problem

Year 2000 problem From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search "Y2K" redirects here. For other uses, see Y2K (disambiguation) The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem , the millennium bug , the Y2K bug , or simply ) was a problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage situations which resulted from the practice of abbreviating a four-digit year to two digits. In computer programs, the practice of representing the year with two digits becomes problematic with logical error(s) arising upon "rollover" from x99 to x00. This has caused some date-related processing to operate incorrectly for dates and times on and after January 1, 2000 and on other critical dates which were billed " event horizons ". Without corrective action, it was suggested that long-working systems would break down when the "...97, 98, 99, 00..." ascending numbering assumption suddenly became invalid. Companies and organizations worldwide checked, fixed, and upgraded their computer systems. While no globally significant computer failures occurred when the clocks rolled over into 2000, preparation for the Y2K problem had a significant effect on the computer industry. There were plenty of Y2K problems, and that none of the glitches caused major incidents is seen as vindication of the Y2K preparation.

10. Y2K FAQ The most popular FAQ during the Y2K period, when it was difficult to seperate fact from fantasy. http://www.comlinks.com/mag/faq.htm

The Year 2000 Computer Problem Washington, DC Feb 2000 " What a relief!! After tens of thousands of programmers had labored for millions of hours, the dreaded Y2K threat was all but obliterated. Looking back on the problem many are asking, "Was it all hype?' Well the answer is no, and yes. The underlying problem was very serious, and through hard work was fixed. But there was a large amount of hype, especially over embedded systems. I have left this FAQ up as it was written in 1996. Let us learn from the positive aspects of Y2K, and make sure we are not misled again, by false information, or worse still no information." What is the Year 2000 Problem? The current mess started over thirty years ago as a simple cost-saving measure, used to record dates in a mainframe computer. A prudent economy measure at the time, that through neglect has come back to haunt the computer world. Simply, way back in the 1960's and 1970's decisions were made to write the date, in computer programs, as 2 digits. 1970 was written as "70" the 19 being taken as understood, by the system. To calculate the age of someone born in 1940, represented as "40" , the computer took that days date, and subtracted the birthdate. "70" minus "40" gave an age of "30" , all was well.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION Office of the Director ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA 22230 Notice No. 120 June 27, 1997 IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PRESIDENTS OF UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES AND HEADS OF OTHER NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANTEE ORGANIZATIONS Subject: Year 2000 Computer Problem As part of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) activities related to potential problems associated with Year 2000, NSF wishes to remind its awardees of their responsibilities under NSF grants and cooperative agreements. Recipients of NSF grants and cooperative agreements generally have full responsibility for the scientific, administrative, and financial aspects of the activity being supported. This responsibility extends to anticipating and reacting to events such as the Year 2000 and taking all steps necessary to mitigate potential problems that might be caused by the Year 2000. Many computer systems may experience operational difficulties because they are unable to handle the change from the year 1999 to the year 2000. Others may fail because they do not properly consider 2000 a leap year. For computer systems that use two digits to represent the year, calculations, comparisons, and data sorting my be adversely affected. This would include computer systems ranging from the desktop to the largest mainframe. Awardees should also be aware that the Year 2000 may affect electronic devices utilizing embedded microchips that perform date-based calculations. Biomedical devices and other laboratory equipment may depend upon embedded date functions. If the chip receives what it perceives to be an invalid date, it may fail, impacting important experiments. False date comparisons may invalidate test results, leading to false conclusions.

First, the general causes and immediate outcomes of the bug are described. Next, the potential impact of and readiness for the Year 2000 by various levels of government are described. A number of federal government agencies are discussed. Overall results of a survey of state government efforts and readiness are reviewed. A survey of 500 county governments is assessed. Finally, conclusions based on a thorough literature review are drawn and key dates in the Year 2000 timeline are noted. When businesses and governments began putting their records into computer databases and files in the 1950's, storage space was far more limited than it is today. In order to save space, dates were typically recorded in the month/day/year format, with two spaces available for each. Thus, the date May 27, 1963 was recorded as 052763. Combined over millions of records, this saved much space, but there was a problem lurking. When the century turns on New Year's Day, 2000, many computer programs will be unable to distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900. According to many computer experts, this seemingly innocuous glitch has the potential to foul many computer dependent systems. In some cases, consumers may find themselves stuck with a bill for a 99-year-long phone call. In other situations, computers confused by the date discrepancy may become trapped in a feedback loop as they cont
