NZB Dates

[f35]

Does anyone know how to "read" the plaintext dates in NZBs? For example:

date="1295496895"
...is displayed as GMT 4:14:55 Thursday 2011.01.20 in a newsreader. :blink:

It's Unix time. It represents the amount of seconds that have passed since the midnight of January 1, 1970, without counting leap seconds.

It's widely used in internet apps and other softwares.
The problem with it is that when we reach January 19, 2038, we will need another digit. It will be the next y2k. :lol:

Switching to a 64-bit integer before that date would pretty much solve the problem for a long time :)
