[QUOTE="guyofgod, post: 64237, member: 476"] Haha, I read that whole thing. Basicly, it says that the programs that run the "internet" have "infinate" timeout date. In actualitly, computers can't comprehend "forever" so they set the timeout to 1 billion seconds into the future. When that is up (2038), it resets back to 1901 (when internet started) and (in theory) continue to loop. However, all programs will read negative times because it was 2038 one second and now it's 1901 suddenly. This obviously causes some problems. :) That's what I got from it basicly :) [/QUOTE]
