We have not changed $LJ::END_OF_TIME, so yes, that's still the end. > IIRC, Dreamwidth will be 64-bit throughout, so hopefully their time_t > (or whatever is used) will also be 64-bit and will not suffer from > Y2.038K.

(Or from the 35th > century.) Well, time=0 is still 1970-something, the epoch time doesn't change simply because we opened up time_t to 64 bit... (Although, maybe there's some spec that remaps the time when you move to 64 bit, and I don't know about it. Suppose that's possible.) -- Mark Smith / xb95 [email protected] _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
