Keith kvetches:
By my math, Linus is 34y 4m old.  According to the gigasecond server
( http://www.araneus.fi/gigasecond/ ) he will be 2^31 seconds old on
Friday January 15, 2038 ( He was 2^30 seconds old on Jan. 7 this year).

But with cryonics, nanotechnology and proper precautions, perhaps he
will turn out to be a 64 bit quantity.  Here's hoping.  Imagine, 10 digit
major kernel numbers...  :-)
