y2k bug

"Year 2000 Bug"

1) A software bug caused by the use of 2-digit numbers to represent the 20th century year. When the date became 2000, some software thought it was actually 1900 (or some other incorrect date).

2) A bunch of bullcrap made up by paranoid doom-saying wackos and the computer-ignorant media.

1) I have to fix the Y2K bug in this old Cobol program.

2) When the Y2K bug hits, planes are going to be dropping out of the sky!
