Ooh, so close:
chris@chris:~$ perl
use Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days);
print Delta_Days(2001, 9, 11, 2004, 3, 11);
912
Edit:For those of you who aren’t well versed in the glory of perl, that little excerpt of code calculates the number of days in between Sept 11 2001 and March 11 2004, which turns out to be 912. I’m sure you can work out the “significance” of that for yourself.
(have I said recently how great Linux still is? Because it is. Even if every single graphics/audio abstraction API for it is utter toss and open source coders should never, ever be allowed to design a user interface which normal human beings will have to use)
In fairness, you could have done that from Perl on any operating system, not just Linux 🙂
In fairness, I haven’t a keffing clue what the significance of that is at all.
Think about what significant event happened on 11th September 2001, and what significant (and similar) event happened on 11th March 2004.
Have I said recently how great Windows is? Um, it, um, well it’s on my computer.
Screw Windows, Screw Linux, I want an Apple 17′ powerbook …. please.
Ah right. So what’s the significance of 912 ?
912 = 911 + 1
Ah but of course. Numerology. My fave. 🙂
