It just looks so strange. Obvious black-out on news.Who knows what next few weeks may bring, but it looks like a great deal of planning went into orchestrating, either entire crisis or news of it for damage control, or greater purpose? What are they up to? Anyone have a clue? It's scary to think that they control 99% of people with info manipulation.

Talk to a psychiatrist. It's called paranoia.

I don't think it's a set-up. Midnight New Year's Eve was just the instant the fuse was lit on many problems. Some became obvious pretty soon afterwards. Some are still burning towards their moment of glory. Still others are duds.

Many of those that are still going will become apparent this work week. Right now I'm concerned that about 8pm Monday there are gonna be an awful lot of funny things going on.

There's something going on that some of us didn't expect, some systems we expected to roll to 00 at midnight Friday, didn't. The kept on going and we were happy for it. But then some folks looked at what was happening. Seems a lot of systems currently showing dates of 31 Dec '99 and times (currently) of 60:15:00 are gonna reach 99:59:59 o'clock before making their fateful move to the new century.

Then there just might be a computer's New Year's celebration, complete with their own fireworks display.

I see Tuesday morning coming with a whole new set of unexpected problems affecting embedded systems. Especially the ones I work with.

Another deluded paranoid who can't face reality. Don't worry, no one paid any attention to you babbling idiots to begin with. But we sure had alot of fun at your expense! Keep up the stupid ramblings.

Nowim,

Wow, you sound absolutely furious! Regardless of how it all turns out, I hope you don't try to harm anyone.
