There was some concern that there would be another potential 'Millennium bug' on January 19, 2038, when Unix time overflows the maximum value that can be stored in a 32-bit register. But while it's still a problem, it's not as severe as once thought, because by 2038, most computers are now expected to be 64-bit or above.
Now that is an awesome post right there.
