1073741824 is a bidemical number. Its reciprocal is 93132257461547851565 times a very small power of ten.

Karl: (POSIX says that) Unix counts time in UTC. So, by 2^30 seconds I meant 2^30 seconds of UTC, which is more than 2^30 seconds of TAI (of "real time" on Earth if you will). Or, if you will: Unix turns 2^30 non-leap seconds (plus a few leap seconds).

Are Leap Seconds counted in these 2^30 seconds?

À propos de date charnière: le ban d'usenet est bientôt levé, non?

Pour ceux que cela intéresse: ADSL free c'est *vraiment* rapide: le zip de mozilla 1.6 qui fait 10 MB est chargé en moins de 22 secondes…

donc 460 kB/s ou encore 4 Mb/s avec les bits de contrôle. Or la vitesse annoncée est "seulement" de 2 Mb/s. Pas de comression logicielle possible, a priori: le sur-zippage a un effet infime. Ça change de club-internet qui parvenait péniblement à 65 kB/s…

Comments will not appear until they have been reviewed by the moderator.

Deleting comments is not supported. Please think before you post.

HTML is not allowed in content or elsewhere (writing <foo> simply produces <foo> in the text).

To cite a URL, write <URL: http://somewhere.tld/ >, and it will be automatically made into a link. (Do not try any other way or it might count as an attempt to spam.)

Your email address will not appear to other readers. Use it if you wish to leave me (the moderator) a way of contacting you.

To leave a contact address for all readers, use the Web site address field (it can be a mailto: URI, e.g. mailto:my.email@somewhere.tld, if you do not have a genuine Web site).

You can use an optional (semi-secret) “identifier phrase” of your choice to avoid identity stealing: it will not appear except to the moderator, who can use it to detect obvious usurpations. Don't rely seriously on this, however.

Use the last field to enter any other kind of comments for the moderator's eyes only.
