In case you haven't heard yet, Y2K is not going to be the problem that all of you techno-dweebs think. How many of you are computing professionals? How dare you put your friends, families and loved ones thru this prep crap. You have no facts and data. There will not be a large scale problem with power, banks, or distribution. Jan 1 I want to see all of you back here on your hands and knees. Yeah right, like your going to be able to show your faces. You have been duped. The only reply to this post will be one line brain farts.

The Doomer stooges and their more radical friends the Tinfoils will be sorely absent here come January. They will be spending all of their time apologising to family and friends for their psychotic behaviour.

I thing Doug is actually a SIM programme, as in simulated reality programme. This would account for his nominal grasp of reality. Somehow he's gotten loose from his harddrive and managed to plug into the net. Just our luck....

>In case you haven't heard yet, Y2K is not going to be the problem that all of you techno-dweebs think.

And you base this assertation on what exactly? Whom have you heard this from? Evidence please.

>How many of you are computing professionals? I myself have fixed y2k bugs, that if left unremediated would have caused the program they were used in to deliver corrupted and incorrect stock market predictions to a client. And I believe that y2k problems have the potential to cause large problems for society.

>How dare you put your friends, families and loved ones thru this prep crap.

Because I love them very much. If I am wrong about y2k then I am out a few hundred dollars. If you are wrong about y2k then it could cost your friends, family, and loved ones their lives. I can always replace the money, I can't replace my family.

>You have no facts and data.

Gary North is biased, paranoid, and obviously wrong on many issues pertaining to y2k. He also maintains the most comprehensive set of links to facts and data that demonstrate that y2k _will_ be a problem. Click through, read, and learn. Then come back when you have something to add to the discussion.

>There will not be a large scale problem with power, banks, or distribution. Jan 1

Unsupported declarations are an excellent way to build one's confidence when one does not have any facts.

King Canute: "The sea will turn back as I commanded it to."

Marechal Ferdinand Fock: "Airplanes are interesting toys, but they are of no military value whatsoever."

Irving Fisher 1929: "Stocks have reached a permanently high plateau."

Western Union: "This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication."

"You have no facts and data..." Says who? You? And you are..??

How about I make it easy on you and let you prove to me that it will be a non-event. I get a kick out of people who have their noses so far up the .gov's ass that they can't even smell what the .gov is putting out. Actually, I feel sorry for ya.

I believe YOU are the one who we will not be seeing here after Jan 1st. You'll need that precious time to beg for food, water and whatever else you need to keep your pathetic, lost, little life in existance.

Enjoy the New World, worm.

Finally gets the nerve up to post something. Wants to make a big debute on The Forum obviously has nothing to post of any value. Like IEEE posts or NIST or Senate or Gartner Or IM or Cia or etc. So he takes a big ole D@#p in the neighborhood.

Doug,

Hmm ... one-line brain farts, eh? Very profound. The voice of wisdom. Just loved all that factual data that you blurted out there, son. Don't you have something better to do than bait the folks here? Most seem to be preparing very wisely for an event that could likely create much trouble.

Folks who prepare will fare well under both scenarios. Folks like yourself HAVE to count on things going well. I hope you have your facts straight. OTOH, I and the others here who prepared don't have to have our facts straight; we'll survive either way. If things don't blow up, we'll gladly say we were wrong, then eat the food we stored up. If things do go bad, we'll have food to eat and you'll have nothing but crow on your plate - served cold.

"How many of you are computing professionals?"

Gee, the last time I checked, we have at least 875 man-years of programming experience here. And yes, I did check. I'm the guy that did the survey. Me? I've been in for almost 32 years.

Didn't you post this same crap about a week or 10 days ago? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it was someone else. Too bad that I don't have the time to waste searching the archive. If you weren't such a moron, I would give it a little effort, but...

You do what you want, Doug. I really don't give a crap what happens to you, and your family.

Oh, and Doug, kiss the back of my head!

Charlie P Reuben has been saying the y2k is over but yet he cannot find or booked a airline flight. I guess he's going to be hanging around some nuclear facility drawing the attention of some excitable security guards. Y2K is just beginning my friend...

-- wackos (are@debunkie.tonite), December 10, 1999.

Y2k is over with? When I read stuff such as this, I tend to believe otherwise:

"only two weeks ago I was interviewed for a job in repairing some server code for a company that sells product to banks. The program needed remediation, and needed support on several versions of a known non-compliant OS. They were missing source code, did not understand code maint issues for complex unix systems, and did not have some required versions of the compiler. The c code was straight forward compared to the environment issues. I could smell the death march from the begining, as well as hear the anxiety and stress in the account managers voice. It was scary. I declined. It is too late and I need to get personal prep issues resolved in the limited time remaining.

Oh, the software, which is in place now in some unknown hundreds of banks, provided bank to bank inter account settlements."
