Unix and Linux → UNIX Time = 1111111111

According to »www.onlineconversion.com ··· time.htm , Unix time (based on seconds since standard epoch of 1/1/1970) is supposed reach 1111111111 on Fri, 18 Mar 2005 01:58:31 GMT (8:58:31 PM tonight Eastern).

That's only 1036372537 seconds from 2^31 (i.e. Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:08 GMT)

neat fact, thanks for the heads up!

does that mean that everyone should use 64bit systems in 2038 ?

64-bit systems are so 2004.......sheesh

Nice try Alien, I'm not falling for that 64bit scam. Next you'll be telling me I need ipv6.

why, of course, how else will you fit the timestamp in the IP header?

seriously, why is the 32th bit not used? and why only 32bit timestamps?
