- ... define dates in computer data. Stored in databases and files, this data was dependent on a date value in order to function. This date value was to be defined by assigning a number to the day, month and year that it represented. Sounds simple enough. Unfortunately, when the time came to assign numbers to these dates, the programmers decided to define the year field using a two-digit rather than a four-digit representation. Here's an example of what the programmers did. Using the "day/month/year" format and a two-digit year representation, the date Feb. 15, 1960 was assigned the numbers 15/02/60 (with the "19" before the "60" being assumed). Obviously, this assumption would only remain ...

They ... she took everything that was imposed on her and endured through it. She was able to accept herself through a kind of spiritual growth, which was both revelational, and inspirational. I only hope that one day I can make some sense of the things gone wrong in my life, or at least grow from them. Jeanne is a woman now, who as a child was thrown around in a racial roller ...

- ... wealth. Finding a reliable or accessible water source, and timber for building was difficult to find. There was a lack of land that could be irrigated easily. By the turn of the century, most present day cities and towns were already established. Trails, roads, and railroads linked several areas with neighboring regions.

Recently due to modern carbon dating, this "artifact" has been proven to have been created with paint approximately one thousand years after the day Christ died.
