Funny quote on the upcoming Y2K38 problem
In 2038, Unix time will pass 32 bits, and just like for Y2K a whole bunch of apps will need fixing. Slashdot has a story on it, and this is the funniest thing I’ve read in awhile:
I don’t give a shit. And I mean that in the most literal, non-idiomatic way. If I had a pile of turds in my back yard, and you were to walk up to me and say, “Excuse me, sir, if you would let me relieve you of one of these useless pieces of feces I could guarantee a resolution to the Y2K38 computer issue,” I would simply reply, “I’m sorry, but those are my shits, and I’m not giving one.”
