There were people afraid of THE Y2K BUG, who thought that computers that considered a year as two digits instead of four digits could launch the nukes. What difference 1 year 9 months and 11 days make.
@exoticcar5482 fun fact the mayans stoped there calander because the spanish gave them small pox or sum sh*t and so they thought the world would end...
right before i turned five, i had no idea wtf was going on, all i remember is my parents stalking up on canned food and all of us sleeping in the basement that night
so much has changed in New York in that span of 10 years. It's sad. The city used to be such a friendly place, and now it's changed drastically due to the attacks on 9/11, and other things. It's a shame. Bless the Old USA. Not this New One.
I was a week away from 9 years old but I still remember it. Jumping around on the balcony, some people in other buildings banging pots and pans (I joined in a bit), I admit.
And then off to bed.
I don't remember much of the start of the new millennium though, yet that was a year later! Kinda ironic?
The world could have ended in 2000 if every country on earth counted NEW YEARS down at the very same time .. it'll blast the earth to pieces .. soo thats why we have different time zones .. so that we can celebrate different times ..(it's just like when you have small speakers connected to advanced settings it would not be able to support so much sound so the speakers would explode) .. and thats just a mini setting of the earth .. :D ..
this is bull shit, Newfoundland canada was the first in north america to experience Y2K a full half hr before everyone else? does anyone know where i can find this footage?
How does that work? Jesus Christ was born, and suddenly everyone else in the world comes in to being at the same time? Let me guess, America didn't exist as a continent until Columbus discovered it in 1492? And Obama didn't exist until he became a senator in 2005?
Well I do know that. It was always there. It has had people living there for millennia. I was referring to the relatively modern realisation by the Europeans that such a place existed. (I was also being slightly sarcastic).
That was the happiest time of my life to see a new millenium...9 years ago today the new millenium arrived and in 2010 we will be 10 years into the new millenium...I never thought we would come this far but we have...I can still remember the year 2000 arriving like yesterday...Happy New Years to all of you!
y2k... two years later we were afraid of terrorists, and now 7 years later all we have to be afraid of now is being broke on our asses... u can probably tell im drunk off my ass while writin this rant... HAPPY NEW YEARS U FUCKERS ON WALL STREET!!!
I remember watching when the ball dropped and we rung in 2000. I was 21 years old and life was great. Nine years later, things aren't quite the same. BTW, the year 0 never existed. It went 1 BCE then 1 AD, 2 AD, etc.
Wow, I remember being 18 and at my friend's Y2K party in Felton, California when we watched the live feed from New York. It seems like a million years ago. All of us were enjoying the new century, the new millennium. Who knew about 9/11, Iraq, and the collapse of the economy then? Of course it was a complicated time then, but that time seems so much more simpler now.
IT companies around the world spent billions of dollars to go through their entire application source code to look for the Y2K bug and fix it. Finally when the big day came, many utilities and other companies switched off their main computers and put the backup computers on work. When the clock ticked Jan 1, 2000, no major problems were reported. Almost every bank worked fine, no major power outages were reported, airplanes still flew and the whole world went on with its normal life.
Why you even bringing up 2012?This planet is going to last for millions of years,don't even worry about the years are in the future that's going to end the world!
So cbsteffen you mean in 1999 they should of call it Y3K then thats a big mistake of Y2K,because it begin a 3rd millenium on January 1,2001 remember always every millenium ends with a one in the year right.I mean AD started in the year 0 when Jesus was born,so don't tell me that the year 0 didn't exist.
They were wrong. The 3rd millennium actually started in 2001, not 2000. There was no year 0 because there is no Roman Numeral for 0 (zero). Besides, 0 is a neutral number, so a year 0 would have made no sense.
man just gives me chills through my sine still!!!
