actually it was mostly in old dos systems, unix for the most part doesn't have this issue or more accurately has a very different issue but more than enough time to fix itasiepshtain said:
as for the 2012 thing simply put the long count calendar is going from 12.19.19.17.19 to 13.0.0.0.0
and that's what all the hubbub is over, everyone is trying to make it into some doomsday scenario, much like we've done every time the "new millennium" starts on the 00 year, tho really it starts on the 01 year. the 00 year is the end of the old one
I know the media would jump on an apocalypse warning if a crackhead bumped into a producer on the streets and said an angel told him the world would end in 5 months, but the Mayans have an ounce more credibility because there entire civilization vanish overnight?
I believe it was Einstein who said "I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought with, but World War 4 will be fought wih sticks and stones."
And Super Mutants. And Railspike guns. And Rads.
I'm going to play Fallout 3 now.

The only reason you keep hearing about this crap is because people, like you keep bringing it up! Just STFU about it and it will go away, let the people who beleive in this crap 'prepare' and continue with your life!
Because London will be holding the Olympic games and I intend to be taking part*...

eheh... I love that picture... Old as the internet, but awesome nonetheless.
But yeah, my intent wasn't to take a stab at religions (for once) but merely to state that logically, if people are willing to believe something like that, believing the world will end every other century doesn't really seem that farfetched in comparison...
People also forget that these geniuses couldn't figure out that shitting next to their crops and drinking water would make them sick... (yes, i know... many western european cultures shared in this problem as well)the protaginist said:
[quote/]Anyways, the main reason people think 12/12/2012 is Doom's Day is because the Mayan Calender ends then, and thus, the world should end at that time, what with time not being recorded by an ancient civilisation that is now defunct. Modern day conspirators have jumped on the theory, and the media has exaggerated the idea to no end. Like Y2K, a genuine fact has been warped into something that will 'doom us all'.
Of course, it's all bollocks, but you know, like I said, it's spread into the minds of some idiots.[/quote]
my guess is that they figrued their empire wouldn't last that long, so they just decided to stop. that, or they got lazy.
half life 2 episode 3 is also supposed to come out in 2012.

The world IS going to end in 2012, but not because of some stupid calendar. That's just silly talk.
No, the world will end in 2012 because THAT is when my top-secret evil plan, "Operation: Blow Up the Fucking World" will spring into action.
Shit. I probably shouldn't have told you that.
