Year 2000 problem - Before the year 2000.
In 1996, pallets of Marks & Spencer canned corned beef were scheduled for disposal by an inventory program. The program thought the cans to be 96 years past their expiration date, because the labels read "12-1-00" and the program misinterpreted this as 12-1-1900.
Year 2000 problem - During the year.
When January 1, 2000, finally came, there were few major problems reported, contrary to many expectations. They mostly occurred in coun ...

| | | | | EBCDIC: Encyclopedia II - Year 2000 problem - Public reaction to the problem Some industries started experiencing related problems early in the 1990s as software began to process future dates past 1999. For example, in 1993, some people with financial loans that were due in 2000 received (incorrect) notices that they were 93 years past due. As the decade progressed, more and more companies experienced problems and lost money due to erroneous date data. As another example, meat-processing companies incorrectly destroyed large amounts of good meat because the computerized inventory system identified the meat as expired. There were, in fact, many such minor "horror stories" l ...

| | | | | EBCDIC: Encyclopedia II - Year 2000 problem - Background Y2K (improperly Y2k) was the common acronym for the year 2000 problem. The abbreviation combines the letter Y for "year", and K for the Greek prefix kilo meaning 1000; hence, 2K means 2000. It also went by millennium bug, although there is a popular debate on whether the year 2000 was actually the start of the new millennium. It is also said that the bug is technically a glitch.
The term was coined on June 12, 1995 in an e-mail sent by a 52-year old Massachusetts programmer named David Eddy. H ...

P. Ulander, a desktop products manager for Sun, acknowledged that Sun planned to expand subscription-based licenses to other countries, as well.
Sun uses a per-person license for StarOffice, compared to the per-processor licenses used by most software companies. A person can install the software on up to five computers. For example ...

"We may not have got everything right, but at least we knew the century was going to end." – Parodic science fiction author Douglas Adams, in an advertisement for Apple Macintosh personal computers, which even on date of release could accurately render dates to the year 2020 (that threshold has since been extended by over 60 millennia)

Year 2000 problem - Before the year 2000.
In 1999 HSBC issued 10,000 card swipe machines, manufactured by Racal, to retailers, but a Y2K flaw prevented them from reading expiration dates properly. The stores had to rely on paper transactions, as they do when there are power failures or phone line failures, until replacement machines arrived. [1]

| | | | | EBCDIC: Encyclopedia II - Year 2000 problem - Public reaction to the problem As the decade progressed, identifying and correcting or replacing affected computer systems or computerized devices became the major focus of information technology departments in most large companies and organizations. Millions of lines of programming code were reviewed and fixed during this period. Many corporations replaced major software systems with completely new ones that did not have the date processing problems. It was reported that corporations had already experienced minor Y2K problems due to date look-ahead functions in code and embedded systems, but it was and still is ...

| | | | | EBCDIC: Encyclopedia II - OSI model - Purpose The OSI model divides the functions of a protocol into a series of layers. Each layer has the property that it only uses the functions of the layer below, and only exports functionality to the layer above. A system that implements protocol behavior consisting of a series of these layers is known as a 'protocol stack' or 'stack'. Protocol stacks can be implemented either in hardware or software, or a mixture of both. Typically, only the lower layers are implemented in hardware, with the higher ...

| | | | | EBCDIC: Encyclopedia II - RS-232 - History This standard originally specified the connection between an electromechanical teletypewriter and a modem. When electronic terminals (smart and dumb) began to be used, they were often designed to be interchangeable with teletypes, and so supported RS-232. The C revision of the standard was issued in 1969 in part to accommodate the electrical characteristics of these devices.
Since application to such devices as computers, printers, digitizer tables, test instruments, and so on were not envisioned in the standard, designers implementin ...

| | | | | EBCDIC: Encyclopedia II - RS-232 - Related standards Other serial signalling standards may not interoperate with standard-compliant RS 232 ports. For example, using the TTL levels of +5 and 0 V puts the mark level in the undefined area of the standard. Such levels are sometimes used with NMEA-compliant GPS receivers and depth finders.
20 mA current loop uses the absence of 20 mA current for high, and the presence of current in the loop for low; this signaling method is often used for long-distance and optically isolated links. Connection of a current-loop device to a compliant RS 232 po ...

Network technicians will sometimes refer euphemistically to "layer-eight problems," meaning problems with an end user and not with the network.
