Well, since the world is coming to an end, I may as well get a few things off of my chest. I am all of the following:

So some people at work were talking about the Mayan Calendar, and one co-worker said that the calendar "has to end some time." That makes sense -- they couldn't document the calendar infinitely. But the same is true of our calendar, right? I mean, we have computers with a lot of storage capacity, sure, but there's no actual infinite calendar. If our civiliazation died out right now and was discovered years later, they would find a calendar that goes out farther than any other calendar. And I wonder what year that one goes out to.

I heard that a ton of people are getting married today so they can have this as their anniversary date. I can't imagine being married to such an idiot.

The world ends on 12/21. That doesn't mean we die.

But we don't have some sort of official calendar. The calendar rules can go ad infinitum (tho you'd need to make adjustments for lost seconds and let's not even talk about what happens to earth in 4 billion years to make this point moot). So while a future civilization might find, say, Barack Obama's desk calendar for 2012 and it ends on 12/31, that doesn't mean our calendar only extended out through the end of 2012. SI

I'm not talking about an official calendar. I'm just talking about whatever calendar we have that goes out the farthest. Obviously, it's on a computer somewhere. Maybe in outlook, maybe google calendar -- those have to have an end date, right? Quote:
I don't know much about the Mayan calendar, but is that not the case there? I mean, it's a calendar, so it's bound to be cyclical in the same way, right? I guess I've been assuming that while they have rules that make it obvious how to complete the Mayan calendar past 2012, there was an actual physical calendar found that only went to 2012, and all this is based on that. I've done a tiny bit of research. I tried to schedule a meeting in Microsoft Outlook. The highest year number that I could enter and have a monthly calendar show up in the upper right corner was 4500. I could still use the arrows to scroll to future months, but it was getting wonky. All the dates said 18 (the date in the current year I had originally scheduled the meeting for), then after a while of scrolling left to get back to 4500, the left arrow actually moved me forward, so I couldn't get any earlier than 4506. |

SQL Server will let you store dates up to Dec 31 9999. That's official enough for me. Gonna suck for the people that have to work on the Y10k bugs.

Still my favorite movie of all time
Also, considering the traffic here and how stupid the drivers are- I don't want flying cars. At least on the road, they can only hit stuff near major roads. You really want some guy on his cell phone or some woman putting on makeup crashing into your house from above? SI

I remember looking into the date issue back in 1997, when I worked for Computer Associates. Thought it was fairly minor, because the bug is so obvious. What got me thinking about problem fixes is the Y2038 bug, when we hit 32 bits worth of seconds since 1/1/70, when time began, according to UNIX. At that point, so much more will be automated, and it's not an intuitive fix - you have to replace a structure with a bigger structure. You have an entire group of functions that simply don't work with dates past 1/19/2038. |

The issue with Y2K wasn't the complexity, it was just the sheer volume of systems that needed to be updated, re-tested, re-deployed, etc. Now, I'm not very familar with Unix since I'm a Windows developer, but couldn't the Y2038 issue be solved with OS and hardware updates? If basic OS date structures and calculations are modified to account for larger values, supported by 64-bit hardware, wouldn't the code running on top just work? Actually, even just writing that feels naive
