Lookie here.

Interesting reading and it came off of my ranger forum...thought I'd share...

OMG, now water, electricity, nuclear missles will launch, gas stations will close, the basic rules of physics will cease to exist...

Oh wait, that was the y2k bug wasn't it..

[Gizmokid2005]

Yeah, this one will just kill all computer operations.....but of course, it WILL be fixed by then...I mean come on...

[Mathster]

oh, I think I heard just about everything that last few months before y2k

[Gizmokid2005]

yeah, me too, and I was like shut the F*** up...and lookie...nothing died, crashed, blew up, quit working, because of Y2k...Just everyone one their cell phone tied up the towers...

There are a few basics that cant stop the next day if there is no damage to the system.

Water is going to flow. its a gravity fed system. Most cities have 1 to 2 days of summer use in towers.
Natural gas isn't going to stop flowing. there is too many CCF compressed in very large pipes available.
Electricity may go offline, but again, most of the grid isn't computer controlled. You may get a drop in power from someone not bringing a generator online in time, but otherwise, your going to have power.
Food doesnt' disappear off the shelves. Its just a matter of being able to sell it.

Right...nothing big is going to happen. Just all of the internet sites will die, well most of them, and our phone systems...but not too much else...

[Mathster]

and Im pretty sure I can live without that for a day or two

[Gizmokid2005]

Yeah, me too....considering, if nobody can get to this site, I'm in no jeopardy of losing my place as #1...

[Mathster]

well, we will worry about that in 32 years...

lets see, I will be 64 by then and less interested in teh interweb...
