    Just found an article/source about the year 2038 which is marked as the end of the most used technologies, dealing with timestamps ( unix ).

    What do you think ? It can be fixed and replaced before it happens, and what will be required to avoid global crash in virtual world ?

    I agree with the above poster. Just live your life and get on.

    Pointless worrying what will happen in 29 years time when it could all end tomorrow.
