Actually, until February 27th 60095 AG. (Of course, while AD stands for 'Annus Domini', AG stands for 'Annus Gatesis', from Latin: Gates, Gatesis, etc.) What is going to do the grand-grand-grand-...-grandson of Bill Gates on February 28th of that remote year? I guess he'll run to his local computer store to get Debian Release 2^128.
