Giammo must be a truly amazing person in that he can know what has happened before it has happened to literally millions (billions?) of systems world wide. What an absolute phenomenon he must be. think he already knows the score of the SuperBowl game? Then again, he could be right - I give him a 50-50 shot that nothing will happen...

Oh my, a pointer-haired, big brained polly.

Giammo (Dilbert's boss) ignores the fact that Joel Willemssen of the GAO has nabbed the military officers and heads of federal agencies lying about their Y2K status, that one DOD department, DSS has been in chaos for a year, their head fired, and their mission critical system is down, broken, non-functional, and estimates are that it will take 100 to 300 million dollars to repair the system.

If this is hype then cancer and heart disease is a joke.

Where do we get these know-it-all, big-brained pollies from?

Cory asked: "Where do we get these know-it-all, big-brained pollies from?"

Me answer: From higher education, of course.

I always thought such fools, er, "experts" had what I all 'crainial rectosis," or butt-head syndrome.

The above referenced condition is known as "Cranial-Anal Insertion". It appears to be contagious, and has rapidly spread across the US in recent years. Those in upper management positions seem to be especially vulnerable. Fortunately, a temorary remedy has been found. The "Cranial-Anal Extractor" has proven successful in providing at least temporary relief. It looks very similar to "The Jaws of Life", and as the ad says, "...it gets the head out!"

Naw - guys - it is all the "How to rid Oneself of the dreaded Common Sense 101" courses that one must have for an advanced degree. Some of my son's teachers majored in this one.
