Hrm, I've been couting down (or up) to the 1,000,000,000 second marker for
a couple of weeks now. I'm using perl and I get a different date then
you.
Am I doing something wrong here?
ctd:~$ perl -e '$a=localtime(1000000000); print "$a\n";'
Sat Sep 8 21:46:40 2001
ctd:~$ perl -e '$a=gmtime(1000000000); print "$a\n";'
Sun Sep 9 01:46:40 2001
According to my perl, it is going to happen Sept 9th at 1:46 GMT, which
would be 9:46:40pm Eastern.
what's the right time?
