UNTRUE

A very, VERY scary date is Monday, May 16 2033 when a far, far more dangerous "Y2K" problem arises.

All time keeping on Unix machines is calculated in terms of the number of seconds after the "birth date" of Unix on 1st January 1970.

On May 16 2033. the total number of seconds hits one billion.

Unfortunately, all the nuclear missile systems of the USA are run on Unix systems and, at 999,999,999 seconds, all the microchips and software hit maxint, and at one second later, the systems go into utter chaos.

Possible result? Out of the blue, all out nuclear strike by US on Russia etc...and WW3 holocaust.
