This reminds me of the "Millenium bug" which threatened the world a few years ago. The doom was prevented by thousands of Fortran and Cobol programmers, who saved us for the measly collective sum of 5 billion dollars. This will be another "programmer's bonanza". Of course it will probably all be outsourced to India and Bangladesh this time :-). If you need to save the world, you may as well save money too. :-) I'll be too old to care anyways.
P.S. Hmmmmm. This occurs right after the tip-off time of the Second MarchMadness Game today... I wonder what the numerologists would say....I think it means a big upset....sure...yeah....bet on the underdog today. :-)
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
