Why is the max amount of accounts the eighth Mersenne prime?
What is so special about this [url=http://www.bungie.net/Account/Profile.aspx?memberID=2147483647]specific number[/url]?
Why not 2147483648 maximum accounts?
EDIT: Apparently [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2147483647#2147483647_in_computing]this is why[/url].
Also, it would take approximately 1956 years and 202 days at the current rate to reach the current maximum accounts. The limit will be reached at 3967 with the current rate of new accounts.
[b]Extra info[/b]
The daily average accounts made has dropped (become more accurate) to 596.7875 users per day.

Will the large majority of computers not have moved past 32 bit OSs by the year 2038? Or just use a uint for a few more years of safety. But a 64 bit int, signed, should last until the year 292,471,210,647, which is probably long enough, isn't it? I'm not sure of all the complexities, but simply doubling the size of the value used to store the time would seem to completly solve the problem. Of course, this might be complicated slightly by the fact that you need to do it to EVERY COMPUTER EVERYWHERE.
