Silly season
- From: Sean Donelan

As Alan points out, it looks like silly season will be in full swing. Here
is a site claiming it will check the top web sites in the world, and if 5%
aren't responding at 1 minute before midnight (pick your time zone) a major
disaster has happened.

As has been pointed out before, many sites plan to shutdown their web sites or
disconnect from the Internet over the New Year's weekend. Which I guess is
a self-fulling prediction. The Internet is still considered an "extra" and
not a necessary connection like the telephone or ATM. I haven't heard anyone
suggesting they would turn off their ATMs, even though they are Y2K ready, just
to be safe.
You can read ATM as representing either acronym.
