Happy MMXI - Google goes Latin

[D B Campbell]

May we all survive until the end of this decade, too. :wink:

So, er ... 2019, right? :? wink: One of my favourite books was Questioning the Millennium by Stephen Jay Gould (1997). A good read by a fascinating author.)

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

I was adamant that Millenium bug was all smoke, created by the IT industry to squeeze money out of the less comp literate in the world industry, it seemed to be
proven correct at the end. No global meltdown....

[M. Demetrius]

No, no meltdown, just the start of a simmer. The meltdown will happen after it comes to a full boil. :!:

Anybody check the temperature lately?

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

Caused by the same disgruntled idiots that propgated the millenium Bug meltdown myth to milk the corporations(and everyone else),
no doubt.... :evil:

[D B Campbell]

Apparently, we should now look forward to the Year 2038 meltdown. :roll: The I.T. industry has a lot to answer for.

[Gaius Julius Caesar]

And what hair-brained theory have they concocted for that one?
I'd love to hear it... :roll: :lol:

[M. Demetrius]

I don't reckon I'll be bothered by that one...I'll be a very old geezer by then, if I'm still around. So no worries here.

Anyway, as the man said, "There are ten kinds of people in the world: those who understand the binary system, and those who don't."

A bit late but HAPPY NEW YEAR to all

[M. Demetrius]

Concerning the 2038 bit. Who here has a computer they'll still be using in 20 years?
Might be a kippered red herring.
