Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Supposedly, on the first of January, 2000, the world was going to be destroyed by a computer glitch named the 'Millennium Bug' (also referred to as 'Y2K' or the 'Year 2000 problem') whereby numerous computer systems would think the year was 1900 instead of 2000, resulting in planes falling out of the sky, satellites going wrong and all the calculators going to silicon heaven. (Most of the actual problems were just cosmetic, such as programs displaying the year after "1999" as "19100", or desktop internal clocks resetting to 1 January 1981 as a crash-preventing exception). |
