The millennium bug is the much hyped software-bug which many people thought would cause computer systems running old (mainly <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjH05wpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Cobol</a>) <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwJxiRJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerProgram_CW</a>s to fail once internal computer clocks rolled over into the new millenium at midnight, December 31st 1999. Also known as the Year-2000 (or Y2K) problem. The bug arises from an early programming need to conserve memory resources by allocating only two characters to the year components of date strings (e.g., '76'), meaning that such systems will perceive the year AD 2000 to be the year AD 00.

MillenniumBug Y2K bug software flaw attribute SoftwareTypeByFlaw Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString bug The collection of instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvwE_DpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">ComputerProgramCopy</a> that possess some flaw from the perspective of either the software's designer(s) or user(s). The notion of &quot;flaw&quot; in this context, as in others, is highly subjective.
