Quick Easy Solution to Year 2000 Bug

Researchers at MIT have come up with what appears to be an exceedingly elegant
solution to the so-called Year 2000 bug, which had been predicted to cost many
billion trillion dollars to fix.

The elegant solution thought up by the MIT researchers is apparently simply just to
END CIVILIZATION IN 1999!!

Of course the obvious alternate solution proposed by the MIT group is just to
convert all computers and calendars to hexadecimal and call the years after 1999,
like, 199A, 199B, 199C, etc. -- in which case you get many "bonus" years to read
all those back issues of Wired, and don't have to end civilization till, like, 1FFF, or
so.
