Linux Went to Year 2038 Problem

Year 2038 Problem

What happens when Linux is set to January 19, 2038 at 3:14am?
$ date -s “01/19/2038 03:14:00″
date: invalid date `01/19/2038 03:14:00′

Based on www.y2k38.info:
On January 19, 2038, UNIX-based programs and UNIX-like operating systems will run out of time. To be more precise, at 3:14:07 GMT, UNIX will be exactly 1 billion seconds old. Many see this as a milestone, but from a technical point of view, this can mean disaster for computer programs and systems around the world.

You Might Be a Programmer if...


  • You lust for O'Reilly books.

  • You know that "goto considered harmful".

  • You are looking for the "else" at the end of this joke.

  • You believe that making a wrong program worse is no sin.

  • Every combination of three letters is a meaningful acronym for you.

  • When you are counting objects, you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...".

  • You can remember seventeen computer passwords but not your anniversary.

  • You are sure that the year 2000 is a leap year, and know why it is dangerous.

  • You start laughing hysterically when the topic of computer reliability is brought up.

  • You go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're doing the math in hexadecimal.

  • The language you are best speaking is English, but the language you are best writing is Java.

  • On vacation, you are reading a computer manual and turning the pages faster than everyone else who is reading John Grisham novels.

Now i'm in home treatment with so lot medicine that I got from the hospital. I also should be injected by medicine in hospital for 3 days in row. Thanks God that the diseases detected early, so it not too late to get treatment.

So, this is my time to take a rest at home, at Dok V Jayapura, but no problem, there is a internet connection here, also Fana installed a satellite TV (Indovision) few days ago, so not too bad treatment. Hope can recovered soon.

Denpasar, 7 April 2007, Garuda Indonesia

Waiting for GA-652 leaving for Jayapura, 23:28 07 April 2007, I sat in waiting room with other GA passenger with flight number GA-419, that delayed because of sparepart problem on the airplane. After wait for few hours, the GA management gave announcement that GA-419 is canceled, than all passengers get free hotel room to take a rest, then will fly again with same airplane in Sunday, 8 April 2007 for about 9.30 GMT + 8.

Just think that GA management gave last option, because spare part late to came. Let think positive, safety first!

God & Albert Einstein

He was slow in learning how to talk. "My parents were so worried," he later recalled, "that they consulted a doctor." Even after he had begun using words, sometime after the age of 2, he developed a quirk that prompted the family maid to dub him "der Depperte," the dopey one. Whenever he had something to say, he would try it out on himself,

The Human Brain is a Poor Judge of Risk

When an animal -- lizard, bird, mammal, even you -- senses something that's a potential danger, the amygdala is what reacts immediately, triggering the fight-or-flight response. This kind of thing works great if you're a lizard or a lion. We humans have a completely different pathway to cope with analyzing risk.
