I feel very secure sitting here next to 3 SPARC Ultra 10 clones with 24
rolls of toilet paper in the bathroom cupboard. :)

>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
theirowners, and nuclear missiles will simultaneous launch and destroy
theworld. Casper Kvan was reminded of this impending doom when one of his
systems suddenly went down.
