Millennium
(gcide) | Millennium \Mil*len"ni*um\ (m[i^]l*l[e^]n"n[i^]*[u^]m), n. [LL.,
fr. L. mille a thousand + annus a year. See Mile, and
Annual.]
1. A period of one thousand years.
[1913 Webster]
2. Specifically: The period of a thousand years mentioned in
the twentieth chapter of Revelation, during which holiness
is to be triumphant throughout the world. Some believe
that, during this period, Christ will reign on earth in
person with his saints.
[1913 Webster]
3. Hence: A long period of happiness, righteousness, and
prosperity, usually considered as being in the indefinite
future.
[PJC]
4. A thousandth anniversary; especially, Each first day of
January falling in a year which is a multiple of one
thousand, such as in 1000 a. d. or 2000 a. d.; as, the
second millenium will be celebrated on January 1, 2000;
also used attributively, as a millenium celebration.
Note: Technically, if the calendar of the Common Era (Anno
Domini) is considered as beginning on January 1, 1 a.
d., then the millenium will fall in each year ending in
001, as in 1001 a. d. or January 1, 2001 a. d.. However
in the common culture, the change of the first digit of
the year from 1 to 2, as from 1999 to 2000 is
considered as the more symbolic event, especially since
the dating of the beginning of the Christian era is
somewhat arbitrary, having been an attempt to fix the
date of the birth of Christ, and being considered by
scholars as being in error by as much as five years.

millennium bug
(gcide) | millennium bug \mil*len"ni*um bug`\ (m[i^]l*l[e^]n"n[i^]*[u^]m
b[u^]g`), n. (Computers)
An error in the coding of certain computer programs which
store the year component of the date as two digits, assuming
that the first two digits are 19, rather than as a complete
number of four digits; when such programs are used after
January 1, 2000, the date may be misinterpreted, causing
serious errors or total failure of the program; -- called
also year 2000 bug, year 2000 problem and Y2K bug.
Note: In the several years leading up to the year 2000, large
corporations and other users of computers in total
spent many billions of dollars correcting this error in
the programs they use.

Y2K
(Y2K, or "millennium bug") A common name for all
the difficulties the turn of the century, or dates in general,
bring to computer users.
Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the turn of the century looked so
remote and memory/disk was so expensive that most programs
stored only the last two digits of the year. These produce
surprising results when dealing with dates after 1999. They
may believe that 1 January 2000 is before 31 December 1999
