Unix Turns 1.0E9 -- 5:57 pm CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

That's a billion, for you math skippers. Today's my mother-in-law's birthday, which means it's also the day of the apocalypse/real Y2K/momentous event of your choice. This evening at 9:46 Eastern, Unix time rolls over to 1 billion seconds since the epoch (that's January 1, 1970 for you Windows types). Sure, it's only a symbolic event, but worthy of celebration anyway. Hey, I think I'll open up that bottle of Salvator tonight.

A.T. Hun comments: Mmmmmm, Paulaner Salvator. I've got one in the fridge for just such an occasion . . .
