You are all going to have to bear with me I'm recovering from last nights dose of poison. My grammar isn't really the best when my blood is still saturated in alcohol. Happy new year to all by the way.
The media treated the "let-down" as if they were looking forward to computer systems everywhere crashing. If this guy hadn't alerted the public to the problem, wouldn't the problems have occured anyway? Let me use an analogy.
You feel a case of influenza coming on, because you are getting a headache. You don't know for sure, but you think you should go to the doctor to get it checked out. The doctor tells you in about a week you'll have the flu. But if you take these anti-biotics, you should be fine. You take the medicine, you don't get the flu the next week. Figures right? But then what do you do? You angrily lecture the doctor for prescribing you medicine and wasting your money when you never got the flu anyway - the medicine wasn't needed.
Of course there aren't going to be any problems with computers if we all spent billions fixing them. We fix a problem we knew we had, and then whinge because the problem never showed itself.
