Sensationalism at its worst, is all I can say. Sun will die on so and so date. Jungles will be lost in x years. Petrol will finish in 100 years. Every technology gets obsolete and is replaced by new one. The 32 bit problem is encountered not only by Linux but other systems also. Second, its meaningless as most systems are already moving to 64 bit and by 2038 will be somewhere near to 2038 bit if not more. The kernel itself is upgraded as a continious ongoing process as it forms the soul of any OS. C is a 20th century language and will be transformed if not dead by 2038. And this, Im saying not based on any editorial forecast, but on the basis of work that my fellow programmers are doing. please report some better news like the launch of multilingual localised Linux OS - the IndLinux Rangoli which is bound to change the face of Indian IT computing and its reach to the masses.It was launched in Indore at a seminar held here attended by many students, scientists, engineers and academics.
