AFAIK the Linux kernel people are complaining about having a year 400000 (1sf) problem. Obviously, if time travel becomes possible then we'll need a range of several zillion years. I think we should petition our OS designers to think ahead. The short-sightedness of programmers caused the Y2K issue, we should avoid repeating our mistakes.
