	Unix time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Unix time is not a suitable way to represent times prior to 1972 in applications requiring sub-second precision; such applications must, at least, define which form of UT or GMT they are using.
		The earliest versions of Unix time had a 32-bit integer incrementing at a rate of 60 Hz, which was the rate of the system clock on the hardware of the early Unix systems.
		At 1:46:40 UTC on September 9, 2001, the Unix billennium (1000000000 seconds in the Unix epoch) was celebrated.

		The Unix time number increases by exactly 86400 each day, regardless of how long the day is. When a leap second is deleted (which has never occurred, as of 2005), the Unix time number jumps up by 1 at the instant where the leap second was deleted from, which is the end of the day.
		As a result, Unix times such as 915148799.50, apparently in the second preceding a leap second, are de facto ambiguous, as are (both de facto and de jure) times such as 915148800.50.
		The standard Unix time_t (data type representing a point in time) is a signed integer data type, traditionally of 32 bits (but see below), directly encoding the Unix time number as described in the preceding section.

		By 1993 most of the commercial vendors of UNIX had changed their commercial variants of UNIX to be based upon SVR4, and many BSD features were added on top.
		The UNIX trademark and the certification rights were sold to the X/Open Consortium, which was an industry group to define a "UNIX Standard".
		Most common is the conventional "Unixes", but the culture that created Unix has a penchant for playful use of language, and "Unices" (treating Unix as Latin word) is also popular.

		Unix was developed by AT&T's Bell Laboratories in the USA during the late 1960s, using the programming language C.
		Its wide range of functions and flexibility, together with the fact that it was available free of charge from 1976 to 1983, led to its wide use by universities and in commercial software.
		In the 1990s, AT&T's Unix System Laboratories was taken over by Novell, which later sold it to the SCO Group.

		One thousand million seconds after that initial instant was 01:46:40 UTC on September 9, 2001, a moment known as the Unix billennium.
		In many ways this representation of time is awkward; because of leap seconds, it is not possible in general to say how many seconds there are between the beginning of the epoch and a particular time more than a few years in the future.

		UNIX® (or Unix) is a portable computer operating system originally developed by a group of AT&T Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie and Douglas McIlroy.
		A similar standard is the Single UNIX Specification of standards, which is available for free.
		A measure of this success may be seen when Apple sought out a new foundation for its Macintosh operating system: it chose a freely redistributable core operating system based on the BSD family.

		This Friday marks the fourth anniversary of the so-called UNIX billennium, a moment when the venerable OS reached a timekeeping milestone and experienced its own mild version of the Year 2000 bug.
		UNIX time is the method by which several key software systems—among them the UNIX OS and the Java programming language—measure time.
		The problem this presents for UNIX time is that the addition of leap seconds occurs at irregular, somewhat arbitrary intervals, as the slowing of the Earth's rotation is not predictable over the long term.
