1234567890 Day

What is this all about anyway?

It's time to party like it's 1234567890 – 'cause it is! On this Friday, Feb 13 at exactly 3:31:30 PM (PST), Unix time will equal '1234567890'.

Here is the countdown

does anyone know what this is all about?

is it supposed to be the age of the earth or something?

it's also on Friday 13

i feel sorry for everyone who lives in binary code land. they must think every single day is coincidental.

Relax! if it had of been 9876543210 I would been REALLY worried, but 1234567890 is going up! So it has to be good

Its interesting how some people are immediately thinking of doomsday.

Read the link and the wikipedia articles and it will explain what this is instead of being worried.

Speaks volumes.

It's the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.

Well according to some doomsday predictions around here, Feb 12 is supposed to be the start of WWIII. Well here it is Feb 12 and I dont see any bombs going off or nukes flying around or announcements by the world governments that WWIII has begun.

So relax, Feb 13 will come and go just like any other day. The only thing that will be special is some tv networks might run the Friday the 13th movies.



Cheers!!!!

.... and some networks might show dollhouse

Hah OMG that is great! I am gonna go get a 6 pack and let the unix time clock run in realtime and chug one when it's 1234567890

Check out this site, it's a giant online realtime unix clock that is for the countdown to the magic time...

And I feel sorry for everyone who puts apples and oranges into the same basket and for anyone who lives in the grey world of averages seeing only one color.

The ability to distinguish between special and ordinary is a sign of intelligent behavior. There are 3,628,800 ways to organize the ten digits that make the decimal system, so the chances to see all the digits nicely organized like 1234567890 are very small. So when it does happen, the folks who like special things and are able to find them treat the occasion as a lottery win.

Now take the binary and the decimal systems, put them into a box labeled "Unix time," shake the box and see what gets out . . .
The FBI knew that a hijacked plane will hit a building in the USA on September 11, 2001 at 8:49 a.m. But the agents didn't know where. So one of them converted the date and time into Unix time and the result was 1000198140. Seeing the ones and zeroes in the number, the agents attempted to decode the binary part of the number, but without success. Only when the first plane hit the WTC, they realized that 10001 -- the first five "binary" digits of the Unix time were actually decimal digits, because 10001 is the first zip code out of the few assigned to New York City.

Learn to convert WHEN to WHERE in Unix time to stay away from the fan when it starts to turn suspiciously fast.

This is extremely interesting. Not heard at all of it so will do some seraching now. Thanks!!!!!

Guys really? Really? don't you think that by the time that we would need to start to even worry that the end of the world is coming because we made a mistake when we started programing all those years ago, don't you think that we would have found something that would have fixed this. Eventually we will come to learn how to use the natural Crystals of each and almost every planet in the universe might have. Think about it. If you hear about the myths that are floating around about the crystal skulls, or from the Television show such as Stargate, Startrek, Sonic. Think about it must mean that there is something more to it then what we are really thinking about.
