Once in a Lifetime ............

[Papa Bear]

On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.
That won't ever happen again !!
You may now return to your (normal?) life.

P.B.

 

[Matt_S]

It will happen again, but not for 1000 years. I don't think we'll be around to see it, though.

 

[Papa Bear]

I won't be around to see it either, Matt, but I will probably have an opinion on it.

Hey....what about reincarnation ??!! I may be around !! I wonder if that's corrected to daylight saving time ??!! Gotta be absolutely perfect, you know...

P.B. (wondering what I will be in the next life)

 

[Matt_S]

What if you come back as an ant, or a booger? 1:2:3 4/5/6 won't make much difference then.

 

[Footpounds]

If you are using a 2 digit year format, why wouldn't this happen every 100 years? The way I figure it, it will happen again in 2106. Using the 2 digit year format, that year will be written as '06. Thus, it happened in 1706, 1806, 1906, 2006, and will happen in 2106, 2206, etc.

Thats just great, than next year I can get up at wee hours of the morning to see 234567.

 

[Shannow]

Dang, I missed it.

 

[Shannow]

Actually, I'll see it next month (Oz puts DD/MM/YY).

 

[Papa Bear]

Shannow....not only are you upside-down, you're backward too.

P.B. (from the colonies on top)

That's the way it really should be. Smallest to largest and all...

 

[Patman]

As soon as I saw the title of this thread I knew what it was about!

I'm obsessed with numbers too!

[javacontour]

Actually,

Shouldn't it be just like our numbers

YY/MM/DD

I mean we list numbers from largest place to smallest.

Thousands, HundredsTensOnes

So it should be YY/MM/DD

What happens on May 25, 2037 ??
P.B.

Dunno, but:

"At 03:14:08 UTC on January 19, 2038 (+231), a 32-bit signed integer representation of Unix time will overflow. Systems using a 32-bit signed integer Unix time_t will therefore be unable to represent that time, or any later, and will likely wrap around to 20:45:52 UTC on December 13, 1901, with integer value -231."

[Oldmoparguy1]

I'm hoping for 05/25/2037.

brian,
didn't John Titor come back from the future in a modified Corvette to get an old IBM computer to take back to the future to fix the bug ?
