	Millennium Mistake
		Related to the millennium question, but not essential for the solution of it, is the interesting subject of the easter tables (the next section being of importance for the solution of the millennium question is section 4).
		The “magic” year 2000 is the closing year of the previous millennium and of the previous century, the “dull” year 2001 is the opening year of the new millennium and of the new century.
		It is not difficult to check that the year 2000 is the last year of the last decade of the last century of the second millennium and that the year 2001 is the first year of the first decade of the first century of the third millennium.

	When should the new millennium begin?
		If the question were “When does the new millennium begin?” together with an adjustment of the system of chronology assumed by the inquirer, it would have a unique answer and greater discussion would therefore be senseless.
		In the Christian era for instance, it is defined that the second millennium and the 20th century finished with 31 December 2000 and the third millennium and the 21th century started with 1 January 2001.
		It is also natural to require that the first century and millennium begin at the beginning of the era and every year belong entirely to precisely one century and millennium.

	Touring the Millennium Dome on Britannia: Waterloo to the Dome
		When asking about our visit to the Greenwich Millennium Dome on Friday 7th January 2000, everyone has the same question: "Was it worth the money?" In terms of the many millions of pounds spent by the nation, I really can't say.
		On leaving the train it was a short walk over to the Millennium Pier, directly outside County Hall, opposite the Palace of Westminster.
		Simply a question of trudging round everything there was to see and then running to the exit for some air.

	Math Forum - Ask Dr. Math
		Regarding the first question about when the "true" millennium begins, I actually believe that's a better question for an anthropologist than a mathematician.
		The word "millennium" simply means any period of 1000 years, though it's natural for us humans to want to start some millennium at a known point in history and keep dividing the eons into consecutive millennia thereafter.
		In short, since the historical/calendric situation is so messy, I believe that we should measure the millennium by noticing when the big party is, and Prince doesn't party like it's 2000.

	The New Millennium Started On 1/1/2001
		Sorry for the length of the answers, but these are the essentials of the "millennium question".
		But the "millennium fever" had already broken out, and so the word "millennium" was often heard at that turn of the year.
		We never heard of a firm that was sentenced to repeat the "millennium voyage" one year later with the same people free of charge.

	Millennium Screen Saver for Windows
		Within the ouroboros is a countdown of the time remaining until the millennium (which you can define as starting in 2000 or 2001, according to your own opinion on that momentous question).
		It's not authentic Millennium Group issue, but nonetheless awfully handy for a screen saver to display the date and time; it avoids "waking up" your computer just to check the time, since you can instead just glance at the screen saver display.
		Fans of the show, or folks who simply wish to lend a mysterious, apocalyptic, chiaroscuro ambience to their computer room may find this screen saver "just what they've seen in a vision".

	The Millennial Abyss
		The TV Shows on DVD website has updated its notice as well, noting, "Fox jumped the gun and posted incorrect information on their site regarding this release." The Region 1 box set's release is not in question, however.
		Millennium: The Complete Third Season is scheduled to be released in both the United States and Canada on September 6th.
		The renowned actor and Millennium star was born in New York City on this day in 1940.

	The Karelia Question: Will Russia give it back to Finland?
		President Tarja Halonen of Finland attempted to bring up the question of Karelia with Putin when she became president in 2000, but Putin told her the subject was dangerous to discuss.
		Before the war, there were two Karelias: one in Russia and one in Finland, the legacy of earlier wars in the second millennium.
		Karelia was a priceless jewel - a land of myth and history; together with Eastern Karelia, it is the source of Finland's national epic, Kalevala.

	Millennium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In an episode of the American sitcom Seinfeld entitled "The Millennium", it is revealed that the character Newman specifies the date of the millennium party that he is planning to be for the "millennium new year," meaning December 31, 2000.
		The term may implicitly refer to calendar millennia; periods tied numerically to a particular dating system, specifically ones that begin at the starting (initial reference) point of the calendar in question (typically the year 0 or the year 1) or in later years which are whole number multiples of a thousand years after it.
		The majority of "millennium" celebrations were held at midnight on December 31, 1999 / January 1, 2000 reflecting the popular mood.

	The thrill of Millennium Force
		Millennium Force at Cedar Point, the roller coaster capital of the world, in Sandusky, Ohio, is one of the park's 16 roller coasters.
		When Millennium Force premiered in May 2000, it broke 10 world records, including being the fastest and the tallest roller coaster in the world.
		Yet Millennium Force still tops it as the best roller coaster in the world, according to Amusement Today magazine readers.

	Mumbai's brand new train
		The train in question is the Western Railway's Millennium Train, which has been given an overhaul focusing on commuter comfort.
		Given a green signal at Churchgate earlier on Monday, the Millennium Train ran until Bandra.
		The nine-coach train will have a state-of-the-art stainless steel look, stronger railings, comfortable foam seating, user friendly signs flashing names of stations coming up, and -- best of all -- lots of light and fresh air thanks to overhead ducts and a lot more fans.

	What Millennium is It?
		But, since most of the Western World uses the Gregorian calendar to keep track of years, the important question is when to mark the beginning of the third millennium BC.
		New Year's Day, 2001 was rung in with zeal, but nothing like the year previous--never mind that 2001 is the real beginning of the third millennium.
		The reason 2001 starts a millennium is because there was no year 0.

	Summary of Discussions - Millennium Development Goals
		His question is, as we have the Millennium goals are we going to create another dialogue on policies or are we transforming the PRSP into a kind of technical instrument to achieve the Millennium Goals.
		Three examples are: the absence of civil society involvement in the Millennium Summit itself and in the official overview by the UN General Assembly; the lack of emphasis on the human rights perspective and the lack of transparent procedures in aid allocation and conditionality; as well as of binding commitments.
		He stated that the goals and targets outlined in the Millennium Declaration are less ambitious then those of previous UN conferences.

	Dubai World Cup: High hopes for Sheikh's favourite
		Dubai Millennium set a course record of 1m 59.60secs for the mile and a quarter, thus becoming the first to break the two-minute barrier on the Dubai course.
		But one senses that if Dubai Millennium is beaten in today's $6 million Dubai World Cup, it could push the powerful owner to the edge of despair.
		While their chances are not diminished on that score, Lear Spear is held by Dubai Millennium on their recent clash, and Running Stag beat only High-Rise home in last year's race.

	The Mill Case - Millennium Case for Comic Books
		In addition, the type of archival plastic used in the Millennium Case has a significantly lower moisture absorption rate than polyethylene terepthalate at equilibrium, so there is no question as to superiority.
		The Millennium Case (Tall) fits Silver, Bronze and Modern Age comics of standard thickness and will fit the comics the previous release did not.
		After that, it was a small effort to carefully remove the tape and separate the comic from its sleeve and then put it back again.

	SuperKids Software Review of World Book Millennium 2000 Deluxe Edition.
		World Book Millennium 2000 addressed all three of our kids' research trial questions to some degree, however the answers were not always as in depth or as easy to find as one might hope.
		World Book also supplied an excellent, easy to understand explanation of our second question, "What is the Dow Jones Average?" including the history of the Dow Jones Average and how it is calculated.
		In the process of searching for the answers to our test questions, we discovered that, although World Book does contain most of the information we sought, it is not as well indexed as one might like, making it hard to uncover information when needed.

		But, since most of the Western World uses the Gregorian calendar to keep track of years, the important question is when to mark the beginning of the third millennium BC.
		A millennium, by itself, is simply a series of 1000 years in a row.
		Therefore, if Jesus was actually born in 4 BC, the 2nd millennium ended on December 31, 1996 and the true 3rd millennium began in 1997.

	Walter Williams
		To combat public and official ignorance about the new millennium, the evening news should end with a statement like, "That's it for tonight, in the next to the last year of the second millennium." School boards could order teachers to explain the error to America's precious children.
		The second millennium ends midnight, Dec. 31, 2000, and the third millennium starts immediately afterward, in the year 2001.
		The second millennium does not end in 1999, and the third does not begin in 2000.

		It could be argued - and no doubt someone will -that the Third Millennium is to be celebrated at Green-wich on the wrong meridian at the wrong time and in the wrong year.
		Although the Government maintains that it has "always recognised" that the true date of the Third Millennium is actually Jan 1, 2001, this is not strictly true.
		He was responding to a question from the politics aca-demic Lord Norton of Louth who asked why "for official purposes" the start of the 21st century was being celebrated a mere 99 years after the beginning of the 20th century.

	reviewjournal.com -- News: MILLENNIUM SCHOLARSHIP: Students face citizenship...
		Krolicki, whose duties include overseeing the Millennium Scholarship program, decided to ask qualifiers the citizenship question because of the growing national debate over whether states are breaking federal law by giving government-subsidized tuition breaks to illegal immigrants who are graduates of U.S. high schools.
		Flagg said the same formula applies to Millennium Scholarship recipients, who must graduate a Nevada high school with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better.
		Taking away in-state tuition and Millennium Scholarship benefits from people who hope one day to become U.S. citizens "is nothing but wrong-headed thinking," Rodriguez said.

		And it will be a moot question in 6 six months, when every man, woman, and child who says "It is now the third millennium" will be absolutely correct, no matter how stupid they are.
		I have never asserted that the third millennium began on January 1, 2000 or that the people who do are in the right.
		I have asserted that people who continue to indignantly wave this triviality like a reeking sweatsock under the noses of those of us who are A) perfectly comfortable employing common usage or B) largely unconcerned about it one way or the other are banal, insufferable twits who deserve to be thoroughly poked.
