1111111111

Break out the party hats, it is time to celebrate. According to Slashdot it is now 1111111111 (in Unix Time).

This converter converts a Unix timestamp to a Readable Date/time and it converts a Date/Time to a Unix timestamp

Unix time is based on the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.

CST (Central Standard Time) = GMT-6 and this converter shows that Fri, 18 Mar 2005 01:58:31 GMT is Thu, 17 Mar 2005 19:58:31 CST.

It is now only 1036372537 seconds from 2^31 (ie Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:08 GMT) which is the dreaded Year 2038 problem which results from computing dates into the year 2038 and beyond in 32-bit operating systems. Switching to 64-bit computing solves the problem. We reported earlier Pentium 4 to be replaced by dual core processors so hopefully machines in 2038 will be have 64 bit processors (or greater), and hopefully even the old computers being retired then will be >32bit so that HelpingTulsa won't have to deal with this problem.
