The Year 2038 problem is an issue for computing and data storage situations in which time values are stored or calculated as a signed 32-bit integer, and this number is interpreted as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970 (the epoch). Such implementations cannot encode times after 03:14:07 UTC on 19 January 2038, a problem similar to but not entirely analogous to the Y2K problem (also known as the Millennium Bug), in which 2-digit values representing the number of years since 1900 could not encode the year 2000 or later. Most 32 bit Unix-like systems store and manipulate time in this Unix time format, so the year 2038 problem is sometimes referred to as the Unix Millennium Bug by association.

Sorry to put a downer on things, but I doubt we will even GET to 2038 without having a nuclear war!

 

nuclear is for pussies... let hope for something more spectacular if it has to happen something

A super nova for example... at least let us enjoy the spectacle that split micro second

 

Cool can't wait.

Though I must say - supernova - would never see it coming but it will cool as phaque.

 

By that time Windows 7 will still be the best, right? :D

/ no need for a WAR for that.
