Being an early beta user has its perks – a particular service I’ve been using and like just came out of beta, and decided to reward me with $200 credit against future fees. Now comes the really good part:
“Your current … charges come to $0 per month. With the current …. you have, your credits should last for 9223372036854775807 months from now on.”
Life is good. And around month 9223372036854775805 we’ll re-negotiate, shall we?

Hah, this server must be MySQL powered, because that is the length of bigint — 9223372036854775807
it’s the largest 64-bit signed integer, probably blew up whatever web-app that was when switching to a 64-bit machine.
Not exclusively MySQL. PostgreSQL has bigint too
