Excellent. I know exactly what I was doing at the Epoch
making moment. I was growling at an old tower computer which had
decided all four of it's USB sockets were going to fail
simultainiously.An Epoch fail indeed.How strange there were no dire predictions a la the millenium.

To offer a younger more info, the most average way of representing experience in most computing systems is seconds since the period (Jan 1, 1970). And today, in around an time and 20 transactions, the dimension instrument be 1234567890 seconds, according to most computers.

The Unix Epoch countdown
has made the geeks excited worldwide. Friday will be remembered by the
Unix fans. The computers running on Unix will reach 1.2 billion
seconds. It digit the figure represents 1234567890. The clock is not
used by Unix exclusively. But other operating systems like Linux, Java
powered OS, Apple Macintosh OS X also uses it.

I'd just like to point out, because this is java script, its client side. So it will use whatever system time the
user's computer is set at. Not saying your user's will have their local
computer's system dates set so bad it will make a difference, but I
just wanted to point out its totally on their side. If you have some
sort of server side technology at your disposal, such as ASP, ASP.NET,
JSP, etc, then you could better control it. Such as by setting seed
value and then letting the client side java script take the count down
from there.computers

Haha! FAIL! Funny, my dad's computer did that recently.

I think there were a few dire predictions along those lines, made in jest really. I think everyone gets that it's *just a number*. A really cool number, most definitely, but nothing to worry about on a technical level.

However, there is a very serious epoch-related prediction that is due on 19th January 2038. The number of seconds since 1st January 1970 will reach 2,147,483,647. You may recognise that number as the highest that can be represented as a signed 32-bit integer. Most 64-bit computers are safe, but literally millions of systems - in fact hundreds of millions - including many embedded systems - use 32 bits to keep track of time. If they are not changed in time they will underflow and appear to go back in time to 1901.

It's actually more serious than Y2K because it's more to do with hardware than software.

Worldwide calamity, here we come!!!

I have changed to Disqus for the very cool features it offers in linking comments across blogs, the threaded commenting and email replies. It does mean that i've lost the OpenID, but Disqus promise me that they are planning to enable OpenID soon, so it will come back!

Thanks! :D
