So here we are! The cockroaches will have to wait another thousand years before taking over.
Nothing especially devastating seems to have happened due to the bug except for a block of flats in Korea and a medium sized African country malfunctioning.
The world shouts "there was no bug!". Wrong. There was, is and will continue to be a bug. Personally, I have seen at least 2 web sites' discussion fora that are showing 5 digit years on posts (e.g. 01/01/19100).
A lot of work has been done on fixing the bug wherever it was found. Without this work, we would have been seeing many more problems. Maybe the combination of many small problems would have lead to more serious repercussions?
