The Daily WTF - The Harbinger of the Epoch
 The Harbinger of the Epoch
 by Alex Papadimoulis

    January 19, 2038 is a date which will live in infamy. It is on that day 
    that the 32-bit integer storing the number of seconds since the beginning 
    of The Epoch will overflow, causing death and destruction unseen by the 
    world since the Y2K Bug. As they did in 2000, software will spectacularly 
    crash, hardware will explode, appliances will go haywire and attack their 
    owners, and nuclear missiles will simultaneous launch and destroy the 
    world. Casper Kvan was reminded of this impending doom when one of his 
    systems suddenly went down.
