The U.S. uses a version of Redhat linux as the OS for their nuclear weapons systems.

What, did you think they would actually use Windows?

Yeah Unix is one of the most important OS to have ever existed.

Unix isn't going to crash, it is just counting the number of seconds since january 1st 1970.

The Unix timestamp for Friday 13 2009 is 1234501200. IT just happens to get to 1234567890 before the end of the day(which is 1234587599).

I'll point this out, it is only western culture that really cares about Friday the 13th. The 13th of anything is lucky in many cultures. this coincidence bears little interest to anyone.

The real shit is when unix time resets in 2038, but we'll have fixed that by then, right?

The main point here guys is that we now have a reason to follow Well-known UNIX and Linux personality John Maddog Hall's example and all get shit faced without looking like alcoholics. Hurray!

FALSE. The defense systems are operated entirely by code constantly being compiled by Boeing/Raytheon, there is no OS. :)
