Re: Thursday, August 23, 2001
I can't believe you just said "Do we really need yyyy when the Millennium turned eighteen months ago?" This type of attitude on the part of programmers 20-40 years ago is why we had to go through the whole Y2K mess in the first place. Yes we need yyyy for our date stamps in all places now, unless you want to go through the whole thing again in 2100. We as a society can no longer afford to be so shortsighted as to not worry about what happens 100 years from now. The point of any society after all is to last a really long time. You can't do that if you use up all your resources in 300 years and if all your workers have totally wrong headed attitudes that quality doesn't matter. The companies of the world like Bose that are all marketing and ZERO substance, need to be killed lest they bring down the whole of society with wasted cashflow and energy flow. Quality is the most important thing there is. People and companies who don't understand this are doomed to failure. Alex Scoble There are responses to this message:
