    32-bit Linux systems will stop working in 2038. Since system time is recorded as a 32-bit integer (the number of seconds since 1970-01-01) its limitation will extend only this long. - Thank God I'm running 64 bit...

                    @dlcentaur http://178.85.178.39/textmode/src/ - Basic randomisation is done, but need to randomise more, add more objects and in general just improve stuff :P

      @thatonepony Nah, your system clock will just stop working then, it's no big deal.

      @omni I'm going to be sad if anyone is still using 32-bit systems in 2038.

        @toksyuryel People probably will be, the same kind of people that still run Windows 98SE now.

            @colfax The oldest thing I have lying around here is SUSe Linux 9.1, which is from 2004 (unless Windows XP is even older than that).

                      @omni Oh, entirely on purpose, I didn't see why I needed all those files taking up valuable space on my Plus Hardcard 20.

                          @omni And, in case you're wondering, this was my first comp, I pulled it out of a dumpster thinking it was a portable sewing machine. http://derpy.me/lOswp

                              @decibel I wish I still had it, I'd gut the case, toss the crt, and then stuff a flatpanel and a high end desktop system inside it.

        @toksyuryel 32 bit systems will be treasured antiques by then xD

      @thatonepony Yeah, I know. Even then, come on, 2038 is MORE than enough time to create a "bugfix" for such old systems that still aren't running 64 bit by then. I'm not saying the Y2k bug didn't cause any issues, but its effects were grossly overestimated.

      @thatonepony I do believe I recall a program that started saving calender entries wrongly when the year 2000 started because it only looked at the last 3 numbers, but most applications were unaffected, true.
