@DroidDev That means you smiled, and if you smiled once again Pinkie reached her goal.

@DroidDev file

@ProgramFOX DOS

@SPArchaeologist MS

(Which, based on what my old teacher said, should stand for "Document Operating System", operating system based on documents)

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist he must be a real smart pony

SPArchaeologist

1:12 PM

@DroidDev She also said that the fastest way to get a date 30 days before a given one was to store the date as a number YYYYMMDD and just subtract 30.

Got mad when somebody asked what a resulting date of "2000/00/72" should represent....

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist bingo! She was the smartest

@SPArchaeologist it must have been given as class assignment then

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev ye know... math degree and teaching programming. 'Nuff said

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist MATH DEGREE!!! I think then she must have invented logic for date herself.

that was a real nice logic

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev Maybe she just redefined the - operator and "skipped the demonstration step" like al true math nerds.

Only problem - my memory could be off, but I don't think COBOL support operator definitions

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist COBOL, I did it once, back in the time and I don't want to remember that time.

@DroidDev +1

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist In India, for secondary classes in school, we have marks for steps in math, it doesn't matter if you write correct answer, if you haven't written all the steps in exam, you won't be getting full marks.

@rene :)

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev millisecond

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard UTC

I just wrote a method to convert milliseconds to any time format

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev sounds really cool!

@DroidDev timezone

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard that is one thing, I always wrestle with, while making applications. This time around, I decided to do something about it.

@ShadowWizard GMT

Sometimes i'm wondering why everything has to be so complicated... — Toxz Jan 6 at 22:01

that guy has my upvote

Shadow Wizard

1:49 PM

@DroidDev yeah, when I need to move date/time values around I move them as number (Ticks in C#) then convert back in the target destination.

DroidDev

@ShadowWizard UTC is always the best for date time, one value and multiple solutions

Shadow Wizard

@DroidDev cars

DroidDev

hey wait! I didn't see that :(
