"it's just postponing the problem!!1!one" The thing of including a "one" to make the irony of your exclamation abundantly clear is a delightful bit of internet-ese. I always find it funny when I see it

For me the giveaway was 2^64 being 1.8*10^19 years from now.

Thanks! I find it nicer than including "/s" at the end :)

True, but only if the latest theories on Big Crunch being back on the table don't hold up. Debian ought to not only push out 64 bit time, but place "now" right in the middle to cover any discoveries of an older universe. Hell, they ought to do that and make it 128 bit, to cover anything.

Exponentials can be profound when you grasp them for that fleeting second.
