A co-worker of mine was asked by somebody high in the US government in late 1999 if he was worried about attackers trying to pull something on New Year's. Randy thought for a moment, and said "Hell no. There's going to be 3 zillion engineers and programmers watching for any minor hiccup that day. The time to pull something would be late January, when everybody's relaxed and stopped worrying". The room got very quiet... :)
