Iirc prior discussions that puts us 6000 years or so in the future. 6000 years ago we were just inventing writing, just domesticated plants and food animals and were just starting to forge metal on a vast scale... 100s gives us until at least 2150 in all likelihood (exactly date might be 2100 or 2200 though). So year... safely dead before any of these dates... Warner Ps all my examples are +/- maybe 1000 years and you can rightly quibble with them... but it wouldn't change the main point. :). -- > Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 > p...@freebsd.org | TCP/IP since RFC 956 > FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe > Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. > _______________________________________________ > LEAPSECS mailing list > LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com > https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs >
