Countdown to 32-BIT EPOCH OVERFLOW For those who don't know, on the day of January 19, 2038, signed 32 Bit systems that use Unix will officially go over their integer limit and loop to -2,147,483,648. This will cause big problems for these systems such as issues with displaying the correct time and date, crashes and malfunctions, data corruption, security and Communcation failures, etc. Enjoy the wait!
