Quote: live in a lil surf town we can traid. you can come work some horses and clean out stalls and i can go surf! mandude.. i miss skimming so bad... i swear i should be living near a ocean. (lisa... don't say it.. i know i look like i should be living by one too.)pouts i'm losing my tan....

LOL, you should be living by the ocean....especially since you don't like to wear shirts.

i guess the k2y scare was good business for u and spd...and other computer type business. lol

it's 10:26 am new years eve here...
and it't new years day for ineligible today! :grin:

none of the girls that mom coaches complains... (that i know of)i acually got introuble about that this morning... mom was fussing at me for going outside "with out no cloths on" as she put it.. i had shorts and flip flops on. yea i didn't stay out there long.. it was cold! but i had to clean the cat's stinky box out.

If I can learn to ride horses again :laughing: sure, oh and a nice outdoor pool will be in order =P

LOL!! You guys are totally telling the truth. All I remember from the Y2K "scandal" is the funny comercial with the guy digging the hole in the ground to bury his computer and a bunch of other stuff.I wonder if they'll do the same thing in 2100.I remember those glasses too! I had a pair, but I think they got broke.

not necessarily, the whole scare was that computers wouldn't recognize 2000 but instead see 1900 or something like that and obviously nuclear weapons and such didn't exist so people thought they'd go haywire, so that whole thing applies to any 00 and i think my family was just a lil cautious about viruses and such

well we passed it once, so... the only thing that could cause a scare like that again would be a virus that makes all technology go haywire or AI gets out of hand and destroys us =P

The Y2K bug was because most software stored the date as two digits only. Most fixes changed it so the date was stored as four digits, which could lead to a problem in the year 10000. Apparently this problem can be demonstrated in Excel and Access.A much closer problem is the Year 2038 problem, when the current 32-bit POSIX time representation fails on 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, January 19, 2038. It's likely that most systems will be 64-bit or higher by then (and probably POSIX will have been superseded), but there could well be some legacy systems still operating. Indeed, it apparently first reared its head in May 2006 in some AOLserver software.

I wasabout to put 3000 but recalled that it was the whole 2 digit scare.

And I seriously doubt that any of us will be around to witness the year 10000, so it's nothing we need to worry about!

And I wish I was that smart with computers! Ineligible makes me look like a kindergartener with the way he talks about computers!! But that's his job!!!

Actually it's all bluff. I read up on it and then act knowledgeable on the back of a couple of Wikipedia articles.

lol Gee thanks! That makes me feel better!! But seriously, it's interesting to know that! And I'm sure that we might even be passed 64-bits by then. Knowing how quickly we are progressing lately, what with the Sync cars and everything!

There are 64-bit systems already.

heh... I know that. I was saying that by the time the error with 32-bit systems is supposed to occur, we would probably be farther than 64-bit systems, possibly 156-bit systems or something like that.

The next progression would be 128 then 256, 512.....

lol thanks for clearing that up... I knew here was a 1__ and a _56, but not sure if it was 156 or not. Oh well!

Apparently you don't know much about computers...64x2 = 128128x2 = 256
