Actually, don't multiply self._TIME_EPSILON by anything. :-)
Wait until Jan 10, 2004 and call your former employer. They
will probably have a job for you.
>>> time.asctime(time.localtime(2.0**30))
'Sat Jan 10 05:37:04 2004' <<< the next time() mantissa overflow.

Actually, it doesn't matter. The world is going to end when the
mantissa overflows anyway. You have until Jan 10, 2004 to
repent! The Day of the Mantissa is coming! Guido loves you!
