I still remember writing programs in Turbo Pascal and it was only possible to hold variables up to 32767. My 9th grade science fair project suffered quite a bit as a result.

–2147483648 to 2147483648

It's the range of values that can be stored in a typical 32-bit variable of type integer. If I remember right, it means one bit holds the positive and negative value, and the other 31 bits are the binary representation of the integer.

If you did happen to have 2147483648 stored in such a variable and added 1 to it (like for a game score or whatnot) you would either get crashes or a rollover to –2147483648.

Cool!  I found the date too: January 19, 2038

How's this fix going? :)

Ok should be fixed now :)

Yes, I would like that :), or if tom had a check to see if the board is still Live before putting it in the Unrated list, that could work too :)
