So. the 2038 issue is easily correctable.

and even if computer systems did experience this bug, what makes the world end because of it?


Total drivel.

I had great times on the flood but it isn't fair to you guys for me to spam there when i get bored. This is really hard to say but i think it's time to say goodbye. This recent ban i got has showed me that. You have all made me laugh and i have even met some new friends, just know that this place you have is something really special i didn't ever seem to appreciate. Farewell you crazy bastards, i havent teared up in a long time......Giraff95 signing out for a time unknown. :)

Good luck getting anyone to believe that, people only believe things if they're told by a group of people who couldn't predict their own downfall and believed that we were made of corn.

I was going to say I am writing on one now, but I am not :(

Grammar is hard.

There is no universal solution for the Year 2038 problem. Any change to the definition of the time_t data type would result in code compatibility problems in any application in which date and time representations are dependent on the nature of the signed 32-bit time_t integer. For example, changing time_t to an unsigned 32-bit integer, which would extend the range to the year 2106, would adversely affect programs that store, retrieve, or manipulate dates prior to 1970, as such dates are represented by negative numbers.
Most operating systems designed to run on 64-bit hardware already use signed 64-bit time_t integers, effectively eliminating the Year 2038 problem in any software that has been developed to use the extended format. Using a signed 64-bit value introduces a new wraparound date that is over twenty times greater than the estimated age of the universe: approximately 292 billion years from now, at 15:30:08 on Sunday, 4 December 292,277,026,596. The ability to make computations on dates is limited by the fact that tm_year uses a signed 32 bit int value starting at 1900 for the year. This limits the year to a maximum of 2,147,485,547 (2,147,483,647 + 1900).[7] While this solves the problem for executing programs, it does not, however, solve the problem of storing date values within binary data files, many of which employ rigid storage formats.
Starting with NetBSD version 6.0 (released in October 2012), the NetBSD operating system uses a 64-bit time_t for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Applications that were compiled for an older NetBSD release with 32-bit time_t are supported via a binary compatibility layer, but such older applications will still suffer from the Year 2038 problem.
Alternative proposals have been made (some of which are in use), such as storing either milliseconds or microseconds since an epoch (typically either 1 January 1970 or 1 January 2000) in a signed 64-bit integer, providing a minimum of 300,000 years range.[8][9] Other proposals for new time representations provide different precisions, ranges, and sizes (almost always wider than 32 bits), as well as solving other related problems, such as the handling of leap seconds. In particular, TAI64[10] is an implementation of the Temps Atomique International standard, the current international real-time standard for defining a second and frame of reference.

WAIT wait... SOLUTION

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

I'm guessing he googled " The year the world will end in the future"

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.
