Y2K was the greatest hoax of the 20th century.
Climate change looks like being the greatest hoax of the 21st century!
November 4 2009
The cult back then comprised computer experts.
They predicted disaster.
Planes would fall from the skies.
People would be caught in halting elevators.
Chaos would descend on anything that relied on a computer, from financial
markets to utilities. Governments duly prepared for disaster with the BBC
reporting that global preparations for the millennium bug were estimated to
have cost more than $US300 billion.
All for nought.
Nothing happened.
It was, as James Taranto wrote in The Wall Street Journal, the hoax of the
century.
Maurice Newman, who was chairman of the federal government's Y2K committee
told The Australian last week that "in pressing the urgency for compliance,
the committee members relied heavily on confirmatory bias. Most of this came
from so-called experts who had much to gain from creating a sense of alarm.
The consequence of widespread inaction was claimed to result in chaos and
systemic failure. As there was no alternative authoritative voice, this
became perceived wisdom and was certainly believed by the committee. As such
the Y2K phenomenon took on a life of its own."
Deja vu?
Preparing for the deluge of rising sea levels, we were treated to footage
last week from parliamentary question time starring Julia Gillard and her
gumboots.
Appropriately she was followed on ABC1 by Bananas in Pyjamas.
Could man-made climate change turn out to be the greatest hoax of the
present century?
Certainly, ordinary people are beginning to ask questions.

That the media didn't understand the situation (and you appear to have

Too many words, bonzo is a troll. Y2K and Climate change are unrelated.

Oh, yeah. I am aware of that. And not a very smart one.
Quote: Y2K and Climate change are unrelated.
Well, in as far as, if nothing was done about either then we'd all be in a
bad way, they are sort of related.
Of course, Bozo doesn't know about the smart people who averted the Y2K
problem and isn't smart enough to understand the climate change issue
either.

GARBAGE!
This is proved by ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happening in so-called "unprepared"
countries of the third world etc!
All it did was enrich the IT specialists, just as greenhoax is enriching the
likes of Gore, carbon traders etc.

Dud! Y2K was 10 years ago. You can't buy a 80486 PC anymore. Not even in
Russia or a 3rd world country.

No, not at all. It was never going to be what the media beat it up to
be, but it was a major problem with a lot of systems which did not use
more than 2 digits to record a date. A lot of money and a lot of hard
work went into sorting these systems out that were going to have issues.
If this had not been done a much larger amount of money would've been
lost when those systems started shooting themselves in the foot when the

I'd have to agree, this truly is a hoax, the evidence doesn't support
it, only the paranoia does. |

25 to 40 millions death in the world demonstrating that the Jenner /
Pasteurian Criminals theories were & are complete fraud... and so the
alleged preventive Vaccinations orchestrated by the WHO criminal
organisation in Switzerland ...leading to immediate Guillain-Barré
Syndrome in the quickest response of the organism ( an acute
inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP), an autoimmune
disorder affecting the peripheral nervous system. GBS is a side-
effect of influenza vaccines ) ... and in slower responses Myopathies
of Duchêne, Alzheimer, Parkinson, M.Sclerosis & of course paralytic
death
Of course the French & British Government did everything to hide the
frauds of the most outstanding Holocaust Criminals in all History of
Mankind : The Jenner / Pasteur antibiotic clueless fools , the first
credited with the worse Tuberculosis Pandemy thanks to his Vaccine
Turberculinis strain found in infected cow pustules pus & the other
fool with the Lung Cancer & other types of cancers thanks to his
abominable vaccine poisons ! Hence although millions were buried in
both countries by Tumbrels fulls at night in common graves, nothing
transpired except in Spain, which has not vested interest in
supporting a most fraudulent science of alleged Medecine ! Of course
the clueless Pollies are just doing what told to them by the greedy
vaccine producing labs living out of Humanity beliefs that the causes
of dizeazezz are germz, viruzez & eugenezzz !
Of course the Black Plagues of 1918 & 1958 demonstrate the fallacies
of such Jenner / Pasteur theories, and this is why the real symptoms
of the alleged Spanish & Asian Flu were carefully hidden. André
Malraux, Minister of the French Republic died of the Black Plague
indeed, a few weeks after being vaccinated with an alleged harmless
Flu shot.
At the time of writing, only POLAND OF ALL NATIONS HAS THE COURAGE TO
REFUSE TO BE PARTY IN THE MASSACRE OF HIS OWN POPULATION BY THE
SEASONAL FLU SHOT WHICH UNKNOWN TO ALL CONTAINS THE 3 STRAINS : AVIAN
SWINE& BLACK PLAGUE FLU RECOVERED IN CORPSES OF 1918 ABOVE THE POLAR
CIRCLE !
HONOUR TO POLAND AN TO THE GREAT POLISH PEOPLE !!!
Q : What are the symptoms of the Black Plague ?
A : Overwhelming cyanosis
Q : What happens when the victims die in terrible suffering
A: The body become immediately black due to the hemorrhagic blood
present under the whole body derm
Q : What is the immediate cure in less than 10 minutes, unknown by the
Dizeaze Industry (DI) and tis lecherous bed-side mannered Quacks
supporting that criminal Pharmacist/Chemist business !
A : Just find it out !
Note As a clue, as easy as the discovery of the Great Sandy Desert
immense deposits... surely the noted Australian Mining & Political
Criminals, especially that parliamentary filth sitting on the West
Australia Parliament on their fucking arses will find out that answer
in no time at all .. Just ask them or their official mining heroes
for immediate answer !
With kindest regards to all
Note as a bonus under my signature will appears all the goodies the
Criminals ' run Labs are putting in their shot, just to be sure the
expected results are obtained

Do you know of even one system which "shot itself in the foot "?
I'm sure there were at least a few non-Y2K compliant computers at the time.
Actually non-compliant systems were much more of a problem than
non-compliant hardware, if a financial system only stored dates with 2
digits it was a disaster waiting to happen. Whilst it wasn't too big a
drama to replace these 2 digit dates with 4 digit dates (if the dates
were only stored with 2 digits it was already a given no record would go
back beyond 1900), but the much bigger problem was trawling through code
looking for anything that depended on the date being a 2 digit value and
recoding for that.
Hardware was merely a case of if it would not roll over to 2000
correctly (whether it clocked over to '84 or where-ever) it either
needed flashing if a flash was available, manual setting (or OS
correction which a lot of the OS's did without too much drama after
being patched to be aware of the issue) or in extreme cases replacing
(perhaps not the cheapest part of the problem to resolve, but certainly
the easiest).
In most cases it probably wouldn't have hurt all that badly, on a home
computer it would most likely be nothing more than an inconvenience. In
our case the fleet was aging anyway, so anything not detected as Y2K
compliant it was a good excuse for us to decide it was at end of life
anyway and replace it, since we work on 4 year replacement cycles most
of the non-compliant stuff was due for replacement by end of 1999
anyway. But with financial systems there was a lot of money waiting to
be lost.
As far as knowing of a system where it happened? Not where I worked, we
put a lot of time and effort into fixing the problem before it
eventuated, and we did come across numerous places where things would've
gone to shit if things had not been fixed. I speak purely from the
perspective of 'puters and apps running on them however, I have no real
idea of how Y2K affected control systems and other electronic gadgetary.

bought their hype) does not make it a hoax. Only the gullible were
hoaxed.
Too many words, bonzo is a troll.
Oh, yeah. I am aware of that. And not a very smart one.
Y2K and Climate change are unrelated.
Well, in as far as, if nothing was done about either then we'd all be in
a
bad way,
Are you serious?
So why aren't the "unprepared" countries like Russia and many third world
countries "in a bad way" then?
In regards to Y2K? Unprepared?
Dud! Y2K was 10 years ago. You can't buy a 80486 PC anymore. Not even in
Russia or a 3rd world country.
OK, I'll rephrase ...
So why WEREN'T the "unprepared" countries like Russia and many third world
countries "in a bad way" in 2000?
ANSWER: Because nothing happened ... even to non-Y2K compliant computers.
Also
Do you know of even one computer crashing in 2000?
I'm sure there were many which weren't Y2K compliant at the time.

No, not at all. It was never going to be what the media beat it up to be,
but it was a major problem with a lot of systems which did not use more
than 2 digits to record a date. A lot of money and a lot of hard work went
into sorting these systems out that were going to have issues. If this had
not been done a much larger amount of money would've been lost when those
systems started shooting themselves in the foot when the year clicked
over.
Do you know of even one system which "shot itself in the foot "?
I'm sure there were at least a few non-Y2K compliant computers at the time.

I'd have to agree, this truly is a hoax, the evidence doesn't support it,
only the paranoia does.
