Well, 64 bit timestamps also have that number...


Which number? 2038? Because that's what you are replying to.


0x80000000, the number I asked what to do about, if it's neither in the past nor in the future (along with all other numbers between it and 0xFFFFFFFF). 0x80000000 is the number they said to send to hell "or" use 64 bits to store.

But storing it in 64 bits still leaves you with the same number waiting for interpretation. (Possibly two numbers depending on sign extension settings.) So do you still need to send it to hell, or what happens differently?
