When the sun is due tomorrow to rise in the east, I suspect I shall be here to see it and wonder as most were, WTF was that all about. I shall repost this song in the morning, God willing and the creeks don't rise. Waiting for the Sunrise... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Already on my second :-) Follow the kitties....... They know full well that if we ever here on Seti found the WOW signal........ It would be suppressed by our government here. Because that simply would do away with their way of doing thingys. Heck, I might not pay my taxes nest year. Anybody feeling more feathery now? The kitties did not even panic a bit.........still smiling and bouncy. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Already on my second :-) I am a bit more worried about some other dates. The first was Y2K, but a lot of people put a lot of work into making certain that one went past without too much trouble. Unfortunately, many other people do not realize the amount of work that went on behind the scenes and are basically saying that nothing can go wrong when any of the next technological problem dates rolls around...

Remember Y2k Well it's not over: 2020: January 1: Systems still using 1920 as pivot date fail; Macintoshes running System 6.0.4 or earlier - correct date can no longer be set in Date & Time Control Panel 2030: January 1: Systems still using 1930 as pivot date fail. 2036: January 1: Burroughs Unisys A Series system date fails? 2036: February 6: 2^32 seconds from Jan 1, 1900. 2037: January 1: Rollover date for NTP systems 2038: January 19: Unix: 2^31 seconds from Jan 1, 1970 2040: February 6: At 06:28:16, old Macs' longword seconds from Jan 1, 1904 overflow. 2042: September 17: IBM 370 TOD clock overflows. One source lists this as the 18th (?) 2044: January 1: MS-DOS: 2^6 years from 1980, setting the most significant bit (MSB). Signed variables using this get a negative date. 2046: January 1: Amiga system date failure 2046: June 8: Some Unix password aging fails; 62^2 weeks from 1970. 2049: December 31: Microsoft Project 95 limit. 2078: December 31: MS Excel 7.0 - the last day 2079: June 6: 2^16 days from January 1, 1900 2080: January 1: MS-DOS file dates, displayed with two-digit years, become ambiguous. 2100: Y2.1K; most current PC BIOSes run out of dates; MS-DOS <DIR> renders the file-date years 2100 through 2107 as 99. 2100: February 28: last day of February - NOT a leap year 2106: February 7: Unix: 2^32 seconds from Jan 1, 1970; time overflows at 06:28:16. 2108: January 1: MS-DOS 2^7 years from 1980; file date overflows 2738: November 28: Approximate day of A.D. 1 million (days) 4338: November 28: COBOL-85 integer day 1,000,000 (10^6) exceeds six-digit field 9999: HTTP caching fails. 10000: January 1: Y10K!! Four-digit years fail. More time will elapse between the time this document was written and this date than has elapsed from the beginning of modern human civilization until now. 29602: January 1: MS Windows NT File Systems (NTFS) fails. 29940: New Macs' signed 64-bit time fails (has been OK since 30,081 B.C.!!) 31086: July 31: Internal DEC VMS time fails at 02:48:05.47 60056: Win32 64-bit time fails (started from Jan 1, 1601) |
