      32bit systems will stop working. The Unix timestamp, which increases by 1 every second and started the first second of 1970, will reach the max of 32 bit integers. Bad things will follow.

        This has already been patched on all 64 bit OSes though - whatever 32 bit systems are still in existence in another 15 years will just roll their dates back 50 years and add another layer of duct tape to their jerry-rigged existence
