Quote of note, from coder and VxML guru Neil Milsted
Java is the Cobol of the 21st century
I love it. It’s so true …
Don’t worry Java coders, you’ll have your day in 2038, fixing all those bad enterprise java apps that still haven’t made it to 64 bit implementations.
And hey, I never really knew that we’re building yet another time-related problem into our systems — 64-bits worth of seconds rolls over in 290 billion years. Or, to be more precise (in case you want to enter this date into your Palm Pilot), on December 4, 292,277,026,596.
