Neowin bug, Last edited date incorrect


Recommended Posts

The reason you see that date so often is because of the unix timestamps. Unix timestamps are the number of seconds since the start of the Unix epoch, which is January 1st, 1970 at 00:00 GMT. When there is a problem getting the timestamp from something such as a database, an invalid timestamp is returned. -1 is used and that gives you a date at the end of 1969. It's kind of strange when you see that on newsposts and forums. :p
