    interesting data time combination

    Every time/date combination is unique. It actually repeats every 100 years if we use 2 digits for the year.

    However, this Wednesday, April 5th, at 2 minutes and 3 seconds past 1:00 AM the time and date will show a pretty interesting value (at least for the european Time/Date Format): 01:02:03 04/05/06.

    I almost agree with you, Marius. That should happen if you write your date:
    Month / Day / Year, like you have above.

    But if you write your date like:
    Day / Month / Year
    Then that should happen on 4 May 06

    But that's the US date format. That time won't occur here until 4th May.

    Great. We are using a different format in Romania DD/MM/YY. I guess that's the Japanese format.

    Thanks, no thanks. I'll just abide to ISO.

    That's May 4th, 2006, at 03:02:01, UTC. Here where I live we use inverse-logic format (DD/MM/YY), which is most like ISO and grants me the same moment in time: 04/05/06... The bad thing is to have to wait one month more than those using the US format...

    So I better live one month.
    You're not watching "24"?
    Well... you should.

    24
    Jack IS back...
