Y2K simple means year 2 thousand.
y=year
2=2
k=1000 (kilo), in the metric system k is representative of 1000. for example, 1 Km is equivalent to 1000m.
When we approached the year 2000, it was thought by many that many of the world's computers would not have the capability to switch over from 1999 to 2000. Many people stocked up on non-perishables in fear of the world shutting down because of this.
However, nothing happened.
Many people believe that it is the year 2001, not 2000, that would create such panic that was created by Y2K, because we started counting (records begin) at year 1, not year '0'.
Again, however, nothing happened.
year 2000
A "bug" is another word for an error. This usually arises if their is a problem with the code or a code's result.
Bug leakage: Bug leakage is something, when the bug is discovered by the end users or customer, and missed by the testing team to detect, while testing the software.ORA defect which exists in the application and not found by the tester which is eventually found by the customer/end-user.Bug release: A bug release is when a particular version of software is released with a set of known bug(s)/defect(s). These bugs are usually of low severity/priority. It is done when a software company can afford the existence of bug in the released software rather than the time/cost for fixing it in that particular version.It is the core responsibility of Software testing company to find the bugs at the earlier stage so that a good product can be handed over to the client.
A bug.
If you have a memory leak, you should find it and fix it. It is a bug. It does not matter if it is an array or not. It is still a bug, and it needs to be fixed.
According to the experts at F-Secure, the "Y2K Virus" is just a misnomer given to the Y2K bug by media personnel who didn't completely understand the problem.
Probably a mis-spelling of the Y2K bug.
1999
The cast of Y2K Millennium Bug 2000 - 1994 includes: Axle Gunn as George Jason Vince as Jack
Y2K was based on the idea that outdated computers would fail to understand the year 2000. As the year 2000 is now over, no.
The Y2K bug was a computer programming issue that caused concern as the year 2000 approached. Many feared that computers would not be able to properly handle the change from 1999 to 2000, potentially causing widespread malfunctions. Significant efforts were made to update and fix systems to prevent major disruptions, and ultimately, the impact of the Y2K bug was minimal.
The U.S. government and private sector collectively spent an estimated $100 billion to $600 billion to address the Y2K bug in the years leading up to January 1, 2000. This extensive investment was aimed at updating computer systems and ensuring that they could properly handle the date change from 1999 to 2000. While the actual impact of the Y2K bug turned out to be minimal, the preparations were significant in scope and scale.
There is no evidence to suggest that anyone committed suicide specifically because of Y2K. While there was concern and anticipation about potential disruptions due to the Y2K bug, it did not lead to any widespread suicides.
The Y2K bug was a significant event in the history of technology because it highlighted the potential consequences of programming errors and the importance of proper software testing and maintenance. It also led to increased awareness and investment in updating and modernizing computer systems to prevent similar issues in the future.
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)
No, a two hundred plus year defunct secret society was not to blame for the millenium bug. Poor planning on the part of computer programers was.
There is no y2k movie yet!
