## Descripción

The Y2K Bug Simulator partially mimics one of the potential y2k failures that could(
and did) affect some systems after December 31, 1999. The specific failure it mimics
is one which typically occurred in systems where years were represented using two
digits rather than four. Thus, in an affected system, the day after December 31,
1999 might be rendered as January 1, 1900 (in this scenario, only the last two digits
of the year roll over, the first two are hard-coded as “19”).

The bug that this plugin mimics was certainly not the only y2k bug, nor, arguably,
a terribly significant one. It is, however, perhaps the most aesthetically interesting.
The effect of this plugin on WordPress is to change 20xx dates into 19xx dates across
page titles, posts, and comments, as well as archives and calendars.

Some things to note:

 * By default, on initial activation following install, only admin-level users will
   see the effects of the plugin. This can be opened to all users, including non-
   logged ones, through the new Y2K settings page (new in 1.2).
 * The date modification occurs immediately after the plugin is installed and activated.
   It disappears immediately after the plugin is deactivated/uninstalled.
 * The change is at the presentation layer only. This means, among other things,
   that all stored site content and data remain unchanged. Moreover, site navigation
   is not affected. If you click on a link to a post identified as being from February
   14, 1914, it will bring you to the post for February 14, 2014 (but still say 
   1914).
 * Internal date references are not affected. If you create a post/add a comment
   while the plugin is active, that content will not be stored with the modified
   date, but with the actual date, and will show that date when the plugin is deactivated/
   uninstalled.
 * Any plugins/templates/other content that do not utilize WordPress core functions
   for date presentation will not have their dates modified.

  Why would I ever use this?

Well, it may be that I am too easily amused, but I find it mildly entertaining to
see a site’s content labeled as pre-dating the internet. It is also amusing to turn
the plugin on just as a significant date/time passes (such as a change in DST), 
and leverage the general uncertainty most people have about computers, dates, and
time.

Also, nostalgia for the y2k end-of-the-world scare.

  Will it work with insert_theme_name_here?

As noted above, the plugin will operate on almost all requests for date-related 
data that utilize core WordPress functions to do so. If you have code that utilizes
dates that do not pass through core WordPress date display functions, you will not
see changes in the output of that code.

  Will it work with insert_plugin_name_here?

See above re: themes.
