2038: Only 21 years away
Surprisingly, when Googling for 2038 & FreeBSD, the 2nd highest recommended search result was:<p>2038年問題 freebsd<p>I do not speak, write, or search for things using Chinese characters. Seems as though this problem must have been heavily Google'd for by Chinese speakers - why else would it have popped up in my search recommendations?<p>Btw: Google Translate tells me 年問題 means "year problem"<p>Perhaps this information was important for ensuring the safety of Kylin, which started out as a sort of Chinese DARPA-style project to get the state off of MS Windows. Kylin was announced in 2006. It was supposedly based on FreeBSD 5.3.<p>Strange thing is, Kylin later became known to use the Linux kernel (with a Ubuntu influence). - Google search recommendations, which should be based on a recent volume of searches, if they did suggest anything about Kylin development, should yield "2038年問題 linux" rather than "2038年問題 freebsd" - Maybe some of those FreeBSD-Kylin  systems are still being heavily used.<p>Or perhaps there are a lot of embedded systems being produced in China which use FreeBSD.
