That is a lot of seconds. To clarify for anyone who does not know what it means, Unix time is told in the number of seconds since the creation (or is it implementation...a quick wiki trip will clarify further) of the Unix operating system. Believe it or not, there are people who can read it and tell you what time it is in the standard time.

Happy Cool Epoch!

And the universe did not exist before 00:00, 1 January, 1970. Everything before that is an illusion.

That's what you get for multiplying yourself by the square root of -1.

Chibi, you do not want us to make your comment true.

I know it's late, but that was moderately awesome.

Everything on your computer is a number.

I like to think of computers as machines that are made out of and powered by math.

For all the people in the world that don't understand
Exactly what it is we have here in Newton's land
See the Moderator's hand started up a master plan
There's many during the test who ran out of time and feel the need to slam
But had they a histogram who knows where we would be now
I thank God it's something I don't have to think about
Instead my thoughts are on the ones who laid it on the line
Conquered boolean, calculus, and the Euler line

But in the meantime I think of those of your kind
And wonder how it is you get things so messed up inside your mind
Just think for a secant how long its been going on before you
Math is what has given you the place to even argue

Stop complaining move along
Open your eyes and see what's going on
We need to get back to the ways of the days of old
One forum under Math indivisible by zero!

[Chorus]
All the people let me hear you give a holler
In Math we trust, In Math we trust
We stamp it on our penny, nickel, dime, quarter, dollar
In Math we trust, In Math we trust
[/Chorus]

The other day I saw the news somebody else complaining
They want the command line taken off of linux and debian's complainin'
They got a problem with my Math and that I believe in it
But the don't got a problem with the bandwidth that they've been spending
They're so offended by numbers that need no explanation
In Math we trust the motto of this greatest declination
Not just a motto but something that we truly believe
If you don't like it you can pack your calculator and you can leave

[Chorus]

One forum under Math indivisible by zero!
You can't take back Fermat, he was never yours
Where an Eidolon, named night, on a black throne reigns upright.

So... for individuals who love Unix... seconds before Jan 1st 1970 are counted backwards and are followed by BU, and we are currently in 1234567890 AU? :P

I don't think your computer will like you very much if you try and tell it to do that :D
