Book excerpt: The new millennium. The Year 2000. Beyond Mayan prophecies, a more immediate danger loomed: Two-digit year date fields had been used by software programmers for decades to conserve expensive computer storage space. As a consequence, legacy systems reading “00” on January 1, 2000 would most probably interpret the date as 1900. Infrastructures critical to civilization—including heat, electricity, water and sanitation—were at risk, all complete unknowns. There was fear of an accidental nuclear arms deployment. There was fear of monetary systems being jeopardized, infrastructure collapse, internet security failures, and interruption of government-provided social programs. Banks experienced massive cash withdrawals while law firms worked overtime to develop novel litigation plans. Insurance enterprises worried. Year 2000: The Inside Story of Y2K Panic shares the untold story of the actors operating on the global stage responsible for managing computer hardware and software for Year 2000 compliance, thus keeping national infrastructures, finance, and commerce functioning. It turned out that the world did not end January 1, 2000. In fact, most people rang in the new year with the perception that nothing happened at all. This positive outcome was not a stroke of luck, nor was it because people overestimated or exaggerated Y2K risk. It was only possible because people across industries, from legal clerks to programmers to President Bill Clinton himself, worked tirelessly to offset disaster. But the Millennium did not pass completely harmlessly: it turns out that the United States, for a brief period, lost all satellite reconnaissance at 7:00 PM EST, December 31, 1999 (midnight GMT 01/01/2000). As a leading consultant and speaker on the challenges of Y2K during the lead-up to the new millennium, author Nancy P. James was directly involved in preparation for Y2K on the local and global stage. Using first-person experience, primary source documents outlining Y2K issues, anxieties, and the actions, influences, opinions, and strategies of those involved, James reveals the untold story of the behind-the-scenes scramble that made Y2K – seemingly – come and go, and offers stark lessons on how the global community can unite to face problems that challenge our world at large. James tells the contemporaneous story of those national and international Y2K actors who at the time did not know the outcome of the Year 2000 computer problem.

Book excerpt: "For a book written about computers, and the management of technology, and the management of the people who have to manage the technology, Countdown displays unusual clarity and logic. Not only is the array of checklists and 'ask yourself' questions effective, they are also efficient." -Bruce Chapman, President, Discovery Institute Countdown Y2K Written by the experts who first sounded the international Y2K wake-up call, this complete update of the bestseller Managing 00 gives you the need-to-know facts about the most far-reaching computer glitch of all time. You'll find easy-to-follow explanations of the entire scope of the problem from the desktop to embedded systems, from the corporate backoffice to corporate liability, and from revenue loss to infrastructure failure. Emphasizing that the Y2K problem is much more of a management issue than a technical one, this straightforward guide gives you solid advice to ensure business continuity through and beyond January 1, 2000. Peter de Jager and Richard Bergeon also provide an updated picture of Y2K government activities and Y2K remediation progress worldwide. An extensive case study provides a snapshot of a hypothetical business in the process of evaluating Year 2000 risks. This and other valuable tools will help you formulate your own end-to-end Y2K survival plan. Countdown Y2K explains: * The background and current status of popular Y2K remedies * Commercial Y2K tools, outsourcing opportunities, and other solution resources * PC-based exposure and hidden dangers like the BIOS problem * Finding and inventorying embedded systems at risk * Testing procedures, including running a pilot program * Training and keeping your valuable Y2K staff * Evaluating Y2K risks from vendors and customers * International Y2K complications, like EMU * Legal issues and corporate liabilities * Triage, contingency planning, and disaster recovery Peter de Jager's Web site at www.year2000.com features current news and commentary, solution providers and staffing databases, and links to all relevant Year 2000 information.

Download or read book United in Discontent written by Julia Suzanne Torrie and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The early twentieth-century advent of aerial bombing made successful evacuations essential to any war effort, but ordinary people resented them deeply. Based on extensive archival research in Germany and France, this is the first broad, comparative study of civilian evacuations in Germany and France during World War II. The evidence uncovered exposes the complexities of an assumed monolithic and all-powerful Nazi state by showing that citizens' objections to evacuations, which were rooted in family concerns, forced changes in policy. Drawing attention to the interaction between the Germans and French throughout World War II, this book shows how policies in each country were shaped by events in the other. A truly cross-national comparison in a field dominated by accounts of one country or the other, this book provides a unique historical context for addressing current concerns about the impact of air raids and military occupations on civilians"--Page 4 of cover.
