- chudiggs, on 02/15/2009, -8/+89Prager and Mau are bigger nerds than I give them credit for. :)
- WorksCited, on 02/15/2009, -3/+73i saw exactly 0000000000 girl nerds

- inactive, on 02/15/2009, -1/+26They didn't even know what Unix time was...
- qeek, on 02/15/2009, -0/+24Nerds can party too!
- TwitchyPenguin, on 02/15/2009, -1/+22Am I the only one that was extremely disappointed that they didn't know what Unix time actually was...?
- jlimon, on 02/15/2009, -0/+21Actually, they're less nerdy than I thought they were.
- fedelaos, on 02/15/2009, -0/+20"We are al nerds" now everybody is a nerd, and they celebrate events that they don't even understand...
- Jaruddd, on 02/15/2009, -0/+18I wonder how many men got laid thanks to fellow geek women joining in this occasion. Good work, men. Good work.
Times like this make it feel good to be a geek, but now it's literal. - marksands07, on 02/15/2009, -1/+15the whole "kevin tweeted this! zomg, moar diggs!!1!cos(0)!!!!" needs to stop.
- billizm, on 02/15/2009, -0/+13Simpler explanation:
Number of seconds since January 1st 1970. - JackHoffman, on 02/15/2009, -1/+13Actually Unix time is currently defined by a conversion formula from UTC. The informal definition is "seconds since the epoch", but the formula does not take leap seconds into account, so it's actually "seconds since the Unix epoch, not counting leap seconds". (The Unix epoch is 1970-01-01, 00:00:00 UTC.)
On 2009-02-13, 23:31:30 UTC, Unix time was 1234567890.
There are 24+1234567890 fixed length SI seconds from 1970-01-01, 00:00:00 UTC until 2009-02-13, 23:31:30 UTC. (Actually UTC is not defined for the earlier date; These calculations assume an extrapolation with 86400 seconds per day before the start day of UTC.)
There are 1234567890 mean solar seconds (which are not a fixed duration) between these points in time. - shmike, on 02/15/2009, -6/+18kevin rose effect in 3...2....1....

- InfernoX, on 02/15/2009, -3/+10Well then you fail, because I saw atleast one.
- HonoredMule, on 02/15/2009, -0/+7Correct answer is:
unknown: woman does not give time of day - billizm, on 02/15/2009, -0/+7No, you are absolutely correct. Any well rounded techie, or programmer worth his/her weight in peanuts should know this.
- inactive, on 02/16/2009, -0/+6Kevin Bacon?
and dugg for cos(0) - Krissam, on 02/15/2009, -1/+7as a danish musician sang once "man er klog, hvis man ved, hva' det er man ikke ved noget om"
And for those that doesn't understand danish: "you're smart if you know what you dont know anything about" - ninjad, on 02/16/2009, -0/+6dude thats 4/20 no one will remember
- zjacoby, on 02/15/2009, -0/+6user: shmike should have wrote how many diggs this story was at right before he wrote this comment...I wonder if Kevin's tweet about this story will bring it to popular status. I noted how many diggs this story had once I started writing this comment and then I reloaded the page...the story gained 5 diggs.
- whytey, on 02/15/2009, -1/+6WTF is that clip at the end of every revision3 video i still do not know
- Myztry, on 02/16/2009, -0/+5I was wondering why there is evidence of my existence in 1970 but not before. I thought it was just because that's the year I was born... In fact, that's when the world was born.
- thevoiceless, on 02/16/2009, -0/+5Read the second comment...
- xqb4dpx, on 02/15/2009, -0/+4we're really not going to use the new Revision3 feature to show only that scene?
- sexybobo, on 02/16/2009, -0/+4It is all a lie the world begain 01/01/1970 and 12:00 am anything said to have taken place before then is a lie.
- Megatog615, on 02/16/2009, -0/+4$ date +%s
1234746761
I think we have. - sexybobo, on 02/16/2009, -1/+5"seconds since the epoch" means "seconds since the Unix epoch, not counting leap seconds" if i said "seconds since the Unix epoch, counting leap seconds" i could see why you would correct me but what i said was correct.
- dlprager, on 02/15/2009, -0/+4can also be downloaded here: http://revision3.com/rev3gazette/party1234567890/
- priegog, on 02/15/2009, -0/+4Agreed, typical uber-geek explanation where one goes into details so deep and specific only other geeks can understand what you mean and you end up making everyone else who isn't pretty uncomfortable.
- inactive, on 02/16/2009, -0/+4So Pragerpedia is a bust?
- deboerpa, on 02/15/2009, -0/+3Numerical system tied to the rotation of its planet on its axis.....existential irony.....this article is a terrible waste of.....time.
- dlprager, on 02/15/2009, -0/+3If the video won't play - you can also try via downloads here: http://revision3.com/rev3gazette/party1234567890/
- thevoiceless, on 02/16/2009, -0/+3There were two women that I saw...that, or very very very feminine-looking men
Nitpicking aside, shut up. - ryanhayn, on 02/15/2009, -3/+6And everyone got drunk, left alone, and went home to masturbate.
- thevoiceless, on 02/16/2009, -0/+3Try harder. I saw two.
