Re: OT: Y10K is coming... Beware
Yes... you'd be amazed at just how much legacy code makes it into an operating system.... nobody touches the drivers for a disk drive, for instance....
Of course, by the time y10k rolls around, most of us will be either:
a) Long since dust
b) done facing the Final Judgement (computers hardly a concern after that)
c) Computer programs of some stripe
Now, the y2038 bug could be much worse.... depending on how the OS handles the overflow when it happens.
