Y2038

I thought that this was an interesting article. What do you guys think?

It is an interesting read.

Although you do have to remember that is a good 30 years from now, and most of the technology that we use will be dead by then. There will be 64 bit computers or 128 or what ever they move up to.

but then again, if we remember the Y2K bug nothing really happened so as long as people get onto it quick enough we should all be ok.

That's a long time from now, looks how far technology has improved over the last 10 years... it's still going at it in an exponential rate, do the math
I think think we should worry about it, everything will be different!

Very interesting read, although it is a fair while from now, if this is serious I can see it being resolved by then with the rate technology is increasing

Intresting Read. doesnt look like a likly bug but it could be one of those scares that everyone worries about!

in 32 years digital clocks will be 64-bit, I dont think we will have much to worry about

They said the same about the Y2k bug but nothing happened, so I don't really see the point of it

You're comparing 3 years against 30 years of awareness

All the more reason for it being pointless :P

I am suprised it took them this long to find out about the bug. :S

Unless it has been circulating for a while but no one has annoucned it pubicly.
