Anyone else notice this on the Google Homepage a couple of hours back?

Probably just a glitch and it's gone now, but I thought it was worth recording:

The plan is to gradually transform Obama into a jive-talkin 'don't take shit from no muthafucka!' President like Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. :eek:

:D Just realised I still had the Google browser open from a few hours back and I clicked on the digits...it's a link which takes you here:

At the third stroke, the Unix time will be 1234567890
At precisely 23:31:30 GMT tonight, Unix time hits a unique milestone. But computer scientists dread the digital apocalypse that is yet to come

The Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is much more serious than the year 2000 bug. Almost all the software out there today that uses dates will stop working correctly.

32 bit computers need be replaced, AND all the software they run recompiled. While 64 bit computers can run 32 bit programs, the programs need to be updated to actually use the new hardware, otherwise they'll still fail.

Thankfully, there's still lots of time to fix it.

There is no rush yet, Vista 64 is a pile of poo anyway, it doesnt work properly. Windows 7 is the next one Windows based.

Must be a problem at your end - still showing up for me.

Under the Google logo it had written in green characters:

$ date + % S
1234567890

...and it turned out to be a link to the Unix shit being discussed.
