Sorry but you are wrong, Unix clock cannot go beyond 2036 (19 January 2036, ~3 AM to be exact), it reverts back to 1901.
It causes large number of apps, especially web related ones (like this forum) to stop functioning properly.
So, in 2036 this forum would have all latest times stuck in 1901 year or could even stop working.

I tried putting clock on Mac OS X (BSD Unix) to 2036 and it goes to 1901, it's same with all other Unix distributions too.
I think fixing the problem may not be too easy since this is tied very deep into the system.

All they need to do is upgrade Unix to 64 bit. That will add another 32 bits to the highest date, making it last a little longer. An OS upgrade would not be too tough, just time consuming. But then, they do have 32 years...One year for each bit.

We can put all doubts of John Titor being real behind us this year. He talks all the time about time traveler ethics how he won’t tell us what exactly happens to spark off this civil war yet in his own way he does. He talks about waco a lot in his posts. Waco wouldn’t be enough to get people to fight the government but one event would. If the truth about Bush knowing or actually having something to do with 9/11 becomes mainstream then you will have to truly wonder about this guy.

Example a poster asked him this question.
Your prediction of (national politics) pending disintegration, beginning in three short years, is impossible.

His answer

Have you see the documentary on Waco? Just for argument's sake, what do you think would happen if information were discovered that confirmed the worst accusations made against the law enforcement officers there? Would you hope nothing?

Maybe some of his revealed future is really plans by the secret world order to be unveiled for the rest of us?

All the same he was too socialistic for my liking.

That would be a bit tough with civil war and nukes falling all around

We will all fall into the hands of Skynet - my nuke shelter is nearly finished

It's pretty funny to see you all get so worked up about this subject. Why is some loon getting your panties all bunched up???

Because his untolerable bull# is continually plaguing just about every topic now, "titor said" and "maybe titor thought" have become the bane of my ATS existence and i will do everything i can to stop it.


P.s. I never subscribed to the Bush planning of 9/11 either

I think that elections usually divide a country. What is really going on is the significance of the choices each makes on their respective side.

It is the 'play' that prepares you for the true decision yet to be made, those that are coming up.

Titor is like a psy op for me, a revealing of actual or desireous plans to see public reaction for various reasons.

(68) Yes, there are unusual events but they do not cause the world to end. It is important that they be a surprise. Perhaps you are familiar with the story of the Red Sea and the Egyptians?

This could be interpreted as the crossing of the red sea by the Egyptians, but do you think he was hinting at the Egyptian airliner that crashed over the Red Sea recently. I dunno, just a thought.

Well i dont know that, personally i dont beleive in what he says, but wouldnt it be that what i posted about this post be the finall proof we need to proove he was a fraud?

All the proof of his fraud was in the FIRST STATEMENTS HE MADE about why he was here.

Unix won't blow up in 2036 (or whenver.) Nobody needs old copies of Unix. Unix is continually improved and upgraded and the time stamp issue won't happen in 2036 (just as Windows didn't crash and cause the end of the world in 2000.)

EVERYTHING HE'S SAID IS A FRAUD. HE'S SOME HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT/COLLGE FRESHMAN WITH A STUPID STORY THAT A FEW PEOPLE BELIEVED.

I'm not trying to piss anyone off here...but the more I read this thread...I think of poor Jesus Christ. I'm sure people said the same about him. Some of the prophecies were right. Some were ill-advised. Some plagueized. (sp?) I think the truth is...we believe what we want to believe. We justify what we want to justify. We're inspired by ideas that strike some chord in us. Doesn't make them true. Doesn't make them untrue. Just makes them significant...or insignificant.

So I finally read all of the stuff on John Titor and, whether he is lieing or not, I have a couple questions.

1.) He says time and time again that he can not give any specific details about the future as not to influence it, BUT he gives us pictures and diagrams of his time machine???

2.) I saw a picture of him holding a laser pointer of some sort near the time machine. This was supposedly to show the gravitational field of the machine by it bending the light. The light is made visable by cigar smoke. Now my question is: Since polution is such a problem in his worldline, what is he doing smoking a cigar? Perhaps this is a stretch, but it would seem cheaper and more logical to buy cigarettes to use if you were not going to actually smoke them.

Actually, the only "right" prophecies that Titor had were the ones that "mysteriously appeared" AFTER the event. Before the event, they hadn't been predicted.

Heck, I can predict "Howard Dean Does Poorly In The Early Caucuses" now. This doesn't make me a prophet.

Beg to differ, here -- we investigate the unusual on this board. If you get sucked into and suckered into every fraud out there, you'll never find out the truth. If you believe the lies of that high school student, then you can spend your whole life looking for the proof and ignoring some of the big and real issues out there (like the "oh, there's NO problem here!" coverups of instances of ebola by certain governments in Africa.)

Being a conspiracy researcher means learning to distinguish what's true and going after the real stuff. Being a Victim-Of-Pranksters means hanging on to stuff because you like it, even after it's been disproved again... and again... and again.

New member here, giving my 2 cents worth..

I think it actually doesn't really matter if John Titor was what he claimed to be or not. Instead of being so obsessed with the authencity of his persona, perhaps we should take a step back and consider what he has said about us squandering what we have now, and how a war would actually be good for US. I'm not a US citizen - and living in a small but prosperous country, the foreign policies adopted by the US have a profound impact. It's a pity that the people in US seem to take for granted that their country is the most powerful in the world; the president they elect into office has the power to mould international affairs. For that reason, perhaps it would be more prudent for people in the US to think twice and hard before making their decision in the elections. From an outsider's point-of-view, the aggressive, militaristic US foreign policy do not bode well. If Bush were to be re-elected into office, who knows what international crisis would arise next.

Why do some people display such violent reactions to Titor and his predictions? Titor - whether he was genuine or a fraud- and his message centre very much around the civil war in the US, not around trying to build his case as a 'real' time traveller. And whether he was just some bored punk trying to pull off another internet scam, what he has said are indeed food for thought; if we do not cherish what we have now, what happens when it disappears? Humans seem to have failed to learn lessons from the First and Second World Wars. In an international system dominated by trealist politicians, military aggression serves to only fan the desire of other countries to adopt militaristic policies. And if this goes on, I shuuder to think of the eventual outcome.

Another point which interests me is the intolerance of Americans towards anything that deviates from the majority; since Titor mentioned that the conflict will eradicate racism as we know it today, perhaps a war would not be the worst thing to happen. I'm aware that many Americans disapprove of the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq - and yet, I'm sorry to say - the US has yet to get a taste of what it feels like to have a full-blown war in their midst, and how important it would be to stop Bush into turning into another expansionist leader like Hitler.

Well its only a month or so away from the beijing olympics so there is one question that blows "JOHN TITORS" answer out of the water...of course the olympics are going to be on...I mean one man out of 6 billion + in the year "2036" (laughs) gets to time travel and go alone.Also he never came forth with a video of himself..there is no confirmation from any titor family in the slightest..he failed to mention any family member names or anything big that has happened since 2000 like 911 for example!! John Titor is obviously a made up name from some scientist wanting something so bad he/she went after it..now look at all of these weak minded followers who are all too stupid to believe the reality of it all and now Iam sure there is some kind of a Cult following his name but its just another false hope to try and lure the minds of those who need it.

Hawking changed his mind about his own theories just like titor said he would. Less lethal seizure lights were invented like titor spoke about. A soldiers winter was written a poem titor spoke on when questioned if he remembered any poems. IRAQ WAS INVADED OVER HYPED UP WEAPONS THAT WERE NOT THERE just as titor sarcastically teased his detractors about.

He knew things about the IBM 5100 that only the project mercury team knew.
And those of us that have investigated project mercury know for sure that Titor is not any one of them.

When you eliminate every other possibility whatever you are left with NO MATTER HOW IMPROBABLE MUST BE THE TRUTH!

And thats what it is.

Civil war yeah not yet. Olyimpic in 2006 YES they happened... Will he get everything right? NO he said as much because of the multiverse theory being correct. BUT hasn't he already got to omuch correct?
