I think according to Einstein there are 7 or something in the double-digits. Time is sometimes considered a 4th dimension.

Could it be caused by a 32bit OS?Originally Posted by -=SoKrA=-
To code is divine
or, a lib compiled on a 32 bit os and used on a 64 bit machine.
The reason Y2K bugs did nothing was because everyone spent Trillions$$ fixing the problems before 2000 came around.
I recall vividely saying in 1970 that the Y2K bugs were unimportant because nobody would be using our current software by then. WRONG! There were lots of people still using 30-year old programs by year 2000.
So, when you write commercial programs today you need to be aware of the problems that might occur 30 years or more in the future because you may have to fix your own bugs like I did.
this is something completely unrelated. the reason the Y2K bug was such a "big" thing was because programmers were using two zeros for years instead of four. this has to do with the size of the memory being used to store things, which will change within the next 30 years

maybe yes, and maybe no. in 2038 will there be any programs running that were written in 2005? Not a lot, but probably some, and that was my point. Any program written today that uses time() functions will not work after 2038.
You don't have to wait until 2038 to encounter the problem. Any program that uses time() can not be used to calculate dates beyond Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038.
Here is one solution that can be used today with any compiler that supports _int64 data type.

To travel at a certain speed, you must somehow reach it, no?

No, something could be traveling at a certain speed from the time it began to exis. Andromeda explains this pretty well :-p
Hmm
