OMG! That's horrifying!

We Buddhists call that "anicca". http://www.urbandharma.org/udharma8/imperm.html

ON EDIT: What I find truly horrifying is that so many responders to the OP don't even understand what the OP said! That's just frightening.

Actually the Bandini hits the Westinghouse in 2038. The Unix clock problem will be worse than Y2K. slackmaster Sep 2012 #11

At least Linux solved that. It's 64 bits now. Not an issue. Not sure about proprietary versions. HopeHoops Sep 2012 #14

If it is infintely worse than Y2K then it will be zero of a problem. n/t ieoeja Sep 2012 #39
