The Y2K bug was supposed to happen January 1, 2000.
Many computer applications stored dates with only two digits for the year. For example, December 31, 1999, was stored as 12-31-99. The problem was that the following day, January 1, 2000, would be 01-01-00, which would appear to be before any other dates in the system, causing confusion and errors.

What does y2k stand for and why is it import t?
Y2K commonly stands for "year 2000" it was important because before 2000 it was said there was going to be a mass computer bug on the year 2000 it was supposedly an extremely big deal (very similar to the 2012 thing) but turned out to not even happen it is now said to happen in 2038.
Can we have a Y2K bug again?
Y2K was based on the idea that outdated computers would fail to understand the year 2000. As the year 2000 is now over, no.

If you read what you just wrote, you will see that you answered your own question. K is the abbreviation for 1000, so 2K would be 2000.
What is the bug in idragpaper?
You can't make the bug happen. It happens randomly and can happen to anyone. This bug has been left by the developer as it's supposed to attract new players because you might be the lucky one to get the bug. The bug makes the whole paper fall of automatically and rapidly.
Is the y2k a bug or a virus?
A Year 2000 (or Y2K) bug is a bug that is surrounded the electronic and computer software in the late 20th century that had been using 2-digit years for time-date formats. The bug involves that when it hits the year 2000, the 2-digit year system will go back to "00" which caused problems. Nowadays the situation is pretty much solved with most programs now use the 4-digit year system. (unless you are still using legacy applications that were made before 2000)
How did you stop the Y2K computer problem?
Quoted from what is y2k (also by me):"Y2K" refers to the "Year 2000 (2 k)". Since this is posted in computer history, I'll assume you're referring to it's effect on computers, or more specifically the "Y2K bug". This was a bug out of the fact that before 2000, computers assumed that years started with 19 e.g. 1985 or 1999. When 2000 came around, people just assumed that computers would glitch out with errors as "2000" doesn't fit into the 19__ form. This was attributed to anything that was relied on computers (car ignition systems, coffee makers, etc.). January 1st came and went, and this proved to be false. And life went on...This caused no major problems, and most programmers had switched their code to be "y2k" compatible anyway.Oh, and I didn't stop it, other people did
What is a bug virus?
A bug is not a virus. A bug is an error in the source code that makes the program behave how it's not supposed to.
What was supposed to happen in 2000?
My dad told me it was probably because it had three zeros or something like that.But nothing ever really happened in year 2000.Many people comitted suicide befor year 2000 so they wouldn't suffer the supposebly deadly events.But surely this is not a spcific answer.
