Why Tu Que?
The local radio station just did a phone quiz about "frauds and hoaxes", and after questions about Milli Vanilli and the balloon-law-chair kid, the grand finale was a question about the Y2K Bug.
So here's the take-home lesson: if you identify something that might be a problem well in advance, and spend huge amounts of money and effort trying to fix it before it becomes a problem, then, when it doesn't become a problem, it's obvious to everyone that it never was a problem!
Does anyone else have a problem with that?
You didn't succeed, code monkeys of the world: you defrauded everyone. Thanks for all your hard work!
This is a radio station in Silicon Valley, mind. I guess the classic rock isn't aimed at the code monkey demographic.
Parallels between this and the effectiveness of environmental regulations are left as an exercise for the class.
