      MSGID: 2:280/464.113 5c9f8f75       REPLY: 1:275/362.0 5c9f8010       Hey Ozz!               ON> This point concept totally fixes that              I believe it is the best fix thus far given that it doesn't require a radical       change. However the hex part will enventually require additional nibbles as       time progresses beyond 32 bits. An additional nibble will extend the shelf       life to Sun Aug 20 07:32:15 UTC 4147 and as long as you don't code that it       must be 32 bits then nothing will need to be done come Sun Feb 7 06:28:15 UTC       2106.               printf "%x\n" $(date --date="Sun Feb 7 06:28:16 UTC 2106" +%s) = 100000000              Note the extra nibble. Mind you the above works simply because coreutils'       date command uses a 64 bit floating point for unixtime which has a shelf life       to Wed Dec 31 23:59:59 UTC 2147485547 all things being equal ... which is       highly unlikely over two billion years.              Life is good,       Maurice              ...
