In Norway, the range of the individual numbers following the birth date was altered from 0–499 to 500–999. Romania also changed its national identification number in response to the Y2K problem, due to the birth year being represented by only two digits. Before 2000,

7245-778: The problem with programmers, IBM , the government of the United States and the International Organization for Standardization . This included the recommendation that the COBOL picture clause should be used to specify four digit years for dates. In the 1980s, the brokerage industry began to address this issue, mostly because of bonds with maturity dates beyond the year 2000. By 1987 the New York Stock Exchange had reportedly spent over $ 20 million on Y2K, including hiring 100 programmers. Despite magazine articles on

7350-428: The problem. Then- U.S. president Bill Clinton , who organized efforts to minimize the damage in the United States, labeled Y2K as "the first challenge of the 21st century successfully met", and retrospectives on the event typically commend the programmers who worked to avert the anticipated disaster. Critics argued that even in countries where very little had been done to fix software, problems were minimal. The same

7455-466: The process of voting on the shows, so only competitors may vote. In music shows such as SBS MTV 's The Show , MBC M 's Show Champion , Mnet's M Countdown , KBS 2TV's Music Bank , MBC's Show! Music Core , and SBS's Inkigayo , there are also no spectators. Instead, they used pre-recorded screaming and clapping. Since the start of the national lockdown in Argentina, broadcast television in

7560-432: The production of telenovelas. In addition, since the number of diagnostic tests of per population is relatively small, it is unlikely that there will be a small number of Mexican broadcasters among the suspected patient or potentially infected population, as it is difficult to say that the situation inside Mexico is better than other developing countries. However, it is believed that the minimum number of broadcasting personnel

7665-524: The program with his best friend Matty and Sarah Marie (Matty's wife); and 91-year old Emily (of the Silbery family) self-isolating, whilst her daughter Kerry and granddaughter Isabelle remained in weekly episodes for the remainder of the season. Filming on the Seven Network 's Home and Away was suspended as of March 22. The network also removed the show from its schedule for three weeks and replaced it for

7770-607: The reality show was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In 2021, Omarion did an interview with the New York Post , addressing issues with his bandmates. He stated that he had "matured" and that within the group, there was "a lack of communication" and "lack of knowledge". On June 23, 2022, Omarion performed a Verzuz where he insinuated his former bandmates were "glorified backup dancers", prompting J-Boog to negatively respond. Shortly after, Omarion announced

7875-478: The remainder of the seasons. During the series in 2017, J-Boog made an appearance as Fizz attempted to get the band back together with Omarion not being present and possibly having co-star and long time friend Ray J be a part of the group as a replacement. Ultimately, Ray J's ego caused tension between him and J-Boog, which resulted in Fizz and Boog deciding it was best to just let the group rest in their history and reunite

7980-414: The remaining completed episodes of series whose production was interrupted, programs designed for or capable of being adapted for remote production — including talk shows , unscripted programs, one-off entertainment specials (such as the multi-network simulcast One World: Together at Home ) and esports events as alternatives to cancelled or delayed professional sports. On May 22, Georgia became

8085-979: The remaining episodes. On June 7, TV Asahi announced that Kiramager and Zero-One would return to their regular weekly episodes starting on June 21. Live-action drama series also suspended production to reduce the spread of the virus, and most broadcast stations transmitted works from their archives. Nippon TV shows such as Haken no Hinkaku 2  [ ja ] and Detective Notice , Tokyo Broadcasting System Television shows such as MIU404  [ ja ] and Hanzawa Naoki 2 , and Fuji TV shows such as Unsung Cinderella and Suits Season 2 all temporarily ceased production. Additionally, NHK suspended production and airing of their shows Dear Patient  [ ja ] , Request to an Angel: The Last Wish in Life  [ ja ] , and I'm Going to Die Soon  [ ja ] . On April 19, 2020, TV Tokyo , MediaNet & ShoPro announced that

8190-575: The right way. On December 31, 2018, it was announced by group managers Michelle Le Fleur and Damuer H. Leffridge that after 15 years, B2K would reunite for The Millennium Tour in 2019. The 3-month city tour occurred during March, April and May 2019. The location and dates were released through the G-Squared Events website. The tour featured all four members of B2K, as well as several other mid-2000s urban artists, including Pretty Ricky , Chingy , Ying Yang Twins , Mario , Bobby V and Lloyd . During

8295-615: The safety of all involved in production. Ampere Analysis projected that the pandemic had delayed at least 60% of scripted television programming worldwide, including at least half of the programming originally scheduled to air in the second half of 2020. There had been a noticeable increase in non-scripted productions—including smaller-scale series capable of being produced remotely—that can be used to fill schedules until scripted programs resume production (noting that audiences may eventually become tired out by pandemic-themed programming). The animation industry remained largely unaffected, due to

8400-633: The same for their television shows including It's Showtime , Banana Sundae , Magandang Buhay , the second season of the Philippine version of I Can See Your Voice and ASAP . GMA Network then followed suit again with Wowowin (including its Saturday primetime edition), All-Out Sundays , Centerstage , The Boobay and Tekla Show , Mars Pa More and GMA News TV 's Idol sa Kusina and Tonight with Arnold Clavio . On March 14, 2020, ABS-CBN and GMA Network both announced that they will suspend production on their respective drama and live entertainment shows effective March 15 (the same day

8505-601: The show to enter on hiatus and schedule reruns to air instead. El Precio Justo' s hostess Lizy Tagliani later reported that she was diagnosed positive for COVID-19. Telefe also announced that talk show Cortá por Lozano would be broadcast with the hostess and panelists from their homes as a preventive measure. News channel C5N had to implement a protocol to prevent new infections after one of their journalists tested positive for COVID-19. TV Globo shifted their programming schedule by expanding their regular news programming and cutting entertainment programming. This included

8610-544: The singles, " Gots ta Be " and " Why I Love You ," peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was later certified Gold . Their 2002 album Pandemonium! debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200. It featured " Bump, Bump, Bump ", a collaboration with P. Diddy , which reached No. 1 on the Hot 100 , becoming the group's first number one song. In 2003, the group won a Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Singing Group. That same year, all of

8715-577: The size of stored data files and databases in exchange for becoming unusable past the year 2000. This meant that programs facing two-digit years could not distinguish between dates in 1900 and 2000. Dire warnings at times were in the mode of: The Y2K problem is the electronic equivalent of the El Niño and there will be nasty surprises around the globe. Options on the De Jager Year 2000 Index, "the first index enabling investors to manage risk associated with

8820-418: The subject from 1970 onward, the majority of programmers and managers only started recognizing Y2K as a looming problem in the mid-1990s, but even then, inertia and complacency caused it to be mostly unresolved until the last few years of the decade. In 1989, Erik Naggum was instrumental in ensuring that internet mail used four digit representations of years by including a strong recommendation to this effect in

8925-575: The suspension of production of local dramas, Channel 8 had begun airing international dramas asn replacements for local drama series on the 7:30   pm and 9   pm, starting with Heart and Greed and Sky Castle , as well as the Mandarin dubbing drama Titoudao: Inspired by the True Story of a Wayang Star . On April 25 at 7:55   pm (SGT), all Mediacorp channels aired a short five-minute sing-along music video of celebrities and musicians singing

9030-401: The suspension of the filming of the network's telenovelas for the safety of cast and crew. Because of this, the currently-running 9pm telenovela Amor de Mãe was replaced by the 2011 series Fina Estampa , the 7:30   pm current series Salve-se Quem Puder was replaced with the 2015 series Totalmente Demais and debut of the upcoming 6   pm series Nos Tempos do Imperador

9135-498: The time, such as COBOL and RPG , processed numbers in their character representations. Over time, the punched cards were converted to magnetic tape and then disc files, but the structure of the data usually changed very little. Data was still input using punched cards until the mid-1970s. Machine architectures, programming languages and application designs were evolving rapidly. Neither managers nor programmers of that time expected their programs to remain in use for many decades, and

9240-516: The title The Year 2000 Computing Crisis in 1996). Its first recorded mention on a Usenet newsgroup is from 18 January 1985 by Spencer Bolles. The acronym Y2K has been attributed to Massachusetts programmer David Eddy in an e-mail sent on 12 June 1995. He later said, "People were calling it CDC (Century Date Change), FADL (Faulty Date Logic). There were other contenders. Y2K just came off my fingertips." The problem started because on both mainframe computers and later personal computers , memory

9345-449: The use of capacity. It never entered our minds that those programs would have lasted for more than a few years. As a consequence, they are very poorly documented. If I were to go back and look at some of the programs I wrote 30 years ago, I would have one terribly difficult time working my way through step-by-step. — Alan Greenspan , 1998 Business data processing was done using unit record equipment and punched cards , most commonly

9450-648: The week of May 25 to 28, while the Junos were presented in an online event on June 29. The 22nd Quebec Cinema Awards were also cancelled, with organizers announcing winners via livestreaming on June 10. Due to the suspension of the National Hockey League (NHL), CBC Television replaced its weekly Hockey Night in Canada broadcast with Movie Night in Canada , a double bill of Canadian films. With virtually all live sports cancelled, TSN and Sportsnet both opted to rerun various past sports broadcasts, including

9555-457: The year 1920. The video game WWE 2K20 also began crashing when the year rolled over, although a patch was distributed later that day. Although the Bulgarian national identification number allocates only two digits for the birth year, the year 1900 problem and subsequently the Y2K problem were addressed by the use of unused values above 12 in the month range. For all persons born before 1900,

9660-473: The year as 1901 beginning at 03:14:08 UTC on 19 January 2038. Several very different approaches were used to solve the year 2000 problem in legacy systems. Problems that occurred on 1 January 2000 were generally regarded as minor. Consequences did not always result exactly at midnight. Some programs were not active at that moment and problems would only show up when they were invoked. Not all problems recorded were directly linked to Y2K programming in

9765-431: The year rolled over to 2010. This was dubbed by some in the media as the "Y2K+10" or "Y2.01K" problem. The main source of problems was confusion between hexadecimal number encoding and binary-coded decimal encodings of numbers. Both hexadecimal and BCD encode the numbers 0–9 as 0x0–0x9. BCD encodes the number 10 as 0x10, while hexadecimal encodes the number 10 as 0x0A; 0x10 interpreted as a hexadecimal encoding represents

9870-426: Was a benefit concert, broadcast on March 22. Following the downgrade to general community quarantine, most shows continued their production with safety protocols, such as lock-in tapings in which artists are isolated in a bubble setup and are required to stay in nearby hotels for the duration of the taping cycles and wearing of face shields for certain in-studio programs. On February 7, the government announced that

9975-560: Was associated with the popular (rather than literal) rollover of the millennium , even though most of the problems could have occurred at the end of any century. Computerworld ' s 1993 three-page "Doomsday 2000" article by Peter de Jager was called "the information-age equivalent of the midnight ride of Paul Revere" by The New York Times . The problem was the subject of the early book Computers in Crisis by Jerome and Marilyn Murray (Petrocelli, 1984; reissued by McGraw-Hill under

10080-447: Was expensive, from as low as $ 10 per kilobyte, to more than US$ 100 per kilobyte in 1975. It was therefore very important for programmers to minimize usage. Since computers only gained wide usage in the 20th century, programs could simply prefix "19" to the year of a date, allowing them to only store the last two digits of the year instead of four. As space on disc and tape storage was also expensive, these strategies saved money by reducing

10185-452: Was instead reduced to two, 3 hour live primetime specials that aired on October 24 and 25, 2020. The specials had a greater focus on Western Australia-based performers and personalities due to interstate travel restrictions. As the government appeal Indonesians to "work, study, and pray at home", the Ministry of Education and Culture partners with TVRI to broadcast educational programming on

10290-439: Was later postponed due to interstate travel restrictions . The eighth season of The Bachelor suspended filming midway into the season. Neighbours suspended filming for two days after a crew member came into contact with someone who had tested positive for coronavirus. Upon resuming production, Neighbours implemented new guidelines, including splitting its crews and avoiding intimate scenes between cast members. On

10395-538: Was never a problem until stored dates were used in calculations. I'm one of the culprits who created this problem. I used to write those programs back in the 1960s and 1970s, and was proud of the fact that I was able to squeeze a few elements of space out of my program by not having to put a 19 before the year. Back then, it was very important. We used to spend a lot of time running through various mathematical exercises before we started to write our programs so that they could be very clearly delimited with respect to space and

10500-473: Was not an option, and risked major failure. Embedded systems with similar date logic were expected to malfunction and cause utilities and other crucial infrastructure to fail. Saving space on stored dates persisted into the Unix era, with most systems representing dates to a single 32-bit word, typically representing dates as elapsed seconds from some fixed date , which causes the similar Y2K38 problem . Storage of

10605-594: Was not renewed by its expiry date by Congress, and the company's free television and radio stations were hence forced off the air by the National Telecommunications Commission on May 5, 2020, to much domestic controversy and further worldwide attention when the European Parliament released a resolution that could lead to the revocation of GSP certifications of Filipino Products if the cases of journalist Maria Ressa were not dropped alongside

10710-494: Was postponed, with the 2017 series Novo Mundo airing on its place. Journalists for the network over the age of sixty were told to telework. In Mexico, as the health crisis expands, it seems that there will be inevitable changes to the broadcasting schedule. Unfortunately, as the health crisis has expanded in Spain and Brazil, it is difficult to broadcast overseas sports leagues, and it is expected that there will be some influence on

10815-611: Was the most-watched non-sports telecast in Canadian history. On May 22, CTV aired the special Unsinkable Youth, hosted by Silken Laumann and Maitreyi Ramakrishnan in partnership with Kids Help Phone to promote awareness of youth mental health in the wake of the pandemic. and WE Celebrate: Class of 2020 on June 6, hosted by Lilly Singh . In mid-August 2020, it was reported that local unions had resolved an impasse with U.S. studios over safety and testing protocols for their Vancouver-based productions. The COVID-19 pandemic has been

10920-500: Was thus possible that database programs might act on the records containing unknown dates on that day. Data entry operators commonly entered 9999 into required fields for an unknown future date, (e.g., a termination date for cable television or telephone service), in order to process computer forms using CICS software. Somewhat similar to this is the end-of-file code 9999 , used in older programming languages. While fears arose that some programs might unexpectedly terminate on that date,

11025-468: Was true in sectors such as schools and small businesses where compliance with Y2K policies was patchy at best. Y2K is a numeronym and was the common abbreviation for the year 2000 software problem. The abbreviation combines the letter Y for "year", the number 2 and a capitalized version of k for the SI unit prefix kilo meaning 1000; hence, 2K signifies 2000. It was also named the "millennium bug" because it
