It's not actually that odd of a date, it has quite a significant meaning in computer science.
The date is stored as a unix timestamp - the number of seconds since 00:00 on Jan 1st 1970. If you store that value as a 32bit signed integer, the greatest date it can hold is in January 2038. So they've basically set it to expire as far into the future as the system will allow, i.e. never. Now obviously come 2038 the system will crash (left as is, obviously) as the time will loop back around to 1901 or whatever - this is the Y2K38 bug. /sorry for being a boring geek |
