The world ends on January 19, 2038: thanks Unix!
If you thought the Y2K bug had a lot of world ending potential, you might want to skip this post right now. If we don't blow ourselves up by 2038, the end of the world is going to have little to do with nukes and a lot to do with Unix because Unix systems can't keep track of the date past January 19, 2038.

The top date in Windows used to be 2038 too. I don't know if that has changed with Vista or XP, but I would be surprised. I just checked in W2K and it will allow me to set the current year up to 2099 but then it switches back to 1980, so apparently, M$ believes that the world ends Dec 31, 2099...
