Look at the dates on this page:

May 19112? April 19112?

That's a y2k bug, still going strong 12 years later...

They are real, there are still a few out there, and a lot of effort went into finding and fixing the ones you *don't* see.

<p>People will adjust, but claiming it will be 'inexpensive' is a little nuts.</p>

<p>The infrastructure that supports our civilisation has been built over century's, having to rebuild it will not be cheap. Ask your self, are the new New Orleans flood defences 'inexpensive'? are the Mississippi flood control schemes sized to cope with future floods, or will they need to be expanded? and if so will that be 'inexpensive'? Will the irrigation systems used by farmers continue to supply water if there is a drought? If it dosn't will the higher food prices be 'inexpensive' to adjust to?</p>

Dunno where you are in the UK., but the London hack space is activly seeking members so they can get more subscription fees, so they can buy a laser cutter and lathes etc. Also in london is the metropolitan works, http://www.metropolitanworks.org/ , expensive, but London hack space is a member, and the blueprint model shop which has a laser cutter.
