Valmont Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Is it just my browser that always says that the most users ever was 1 on 12-31-69? It catches my eye everytime so I had to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Nope, mine says so too. At 7:00 pm to boot. Always thought that was kind of funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Something I've worked on off and on since I did a forum upgrade on the software at one time.

Wren Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 This is a sort of default error date that shows up on computers all the time. I remember my comp sci roomie explaining it to me once, but I don't have much memory for technical details. Hopefully this wikipedia article will explain it more articulately.

goblyn13 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 GMT, I believe. UTC doesn't take into account things like daylight savings and leap seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thryth Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 UTC doesn't take into account things like daylight savings and leap seconds. I just got slapped-down at work on this. Apparently, UTC = GMT since 1972: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
