a 64bit unsigned int is best, but that would only work properly on 64bit
arch. For 32bit users, making it unsigned is the best option for now,
and I suppose that by 2038 there will be another option. 

As far as I am concerned, this discussion is a discussion for the sake
of discussion. If I am still using the same apps that I use today in
2038, I will officially rethink my usefulness as a human being :)
