In 2038, UNIX timestamp will exceed the signed 32-bit integer limit (2^31-1). This means that a lot of programs and OS's (which store the UNIX timestamp in a signed 32-bit integer) will fail with their time stuff. Not to worry, the UNIX timestamp will exceed the signed 64-bit integer limit (2^63-1) in about 293 billion years. -- I'm bored so I thought that I'll post this ._. Keyboard not found.

^ you can and that is not a bad thing. Also, this is an awesome topic to talk about, but there is one problem with it... If you try to calculate a bigger number, system calculates it again, so no worries. I think.
