captpackrat 12/30/19 2:24:33 PM #15:	VeeVees posted... RIP, the Y2K20 bug will hit and send us back to the stone age. The next big bug is the Y2K38 bug. The original implementation of Unix uses a 32-bit signed integer for the number of seconds since midnight, Jan 1, 1970. That will overflow and turn into a negative number on Jan 19, 2038. Affected devices will suddenly think it's December 1901. DOS-based systems will experience a similar issue in 2080, but Windows won't have a rollover issue until 30,828. Most modern Unix systems use 64-bit time, which will be good until the year 292,277,026,596. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:932243945] in After tomo...
