The Quickly Descending Unix Timestamp 272

Teach writes: "If my calculations are correct, on Thursday, April 19, 2001, at 04:25:21 UTC (00:25:21 EDT and late Wednesday at 21:25:21 PDT), the UNIX clock will read 987654321, which is pretty cool. This will be the first of two such "significant" events in 2001, the second being 01:46:39 UTC on 2001-09-09, when the clock will read 999999999 (and then of course "roll over" to 1000000000 one second later). Use the Time Zone Converter to help you figure out when this will occur in your area, or read up on other critical dates (such as when the 32-bit signed UNIX clock overflows in 2038)."

The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
