Year 2000 problem (Y2K)
The Year 2000 problem (also known as the Y2K problem, the millennium bug, the Y2K bug, or simply Y2K) was a notable problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage situations which resulted from the practice of abbreviating a four-digit year to two digits.
In computer program design, the practice of representing the year with two digits becomes problematic with logical error(s) arising upon "rollover" from x99 to x000. This has caused some date-related processing to operate incorrectly for dates and times on and after January 1, 2000 and on other critical dates which were billed "event horizons". Without corrective action, it was suggested that long-working systems would break down when the "...97, 98, 99, 00..." ascending numbering assumption suddenly became invalid. Companies and organizations worldwide checked, fixed, and upgraded their computer systems.

Libertarianism
All forms of libertarianism support strong personal rights rights to life and liberty, but do not agree on the subject of property.[8] The best known[9][1][10] formulation of libertarianism supports free market capitalism[11] by advocating a right to private property, including property in the means of production,[12] minimal government regulation of that property, minimal taxation, and rejection of the welfare state, all within the context of the rule of law.[13][14][15] A number of countries worldwide have libertarian parties which run candidates for political office.
