The Unix Billennium is sometimes described as "10⁹ seconds after the Unix epoch". This is not quite correct, because Unix time is not a purely linear count of seconds: "10⁹ non-leap seconds after the Unix epoch" would be a more accurate description.

The name is a portmanteau of "billion" and "millennium", recalling the year 2000 bug. The name is not very logical as billennium should rather mean a billion years. "Gigasecond" would be a more apt term.

Do we have a proof that 26 is the only number between a square and a cube? i believe there is a proof due to euler but can;t find it.

The film's duration is 1:23:45

The actual number Max discovers is not displayed in its entirety until 54:22. The number displayed on his monitor is:

94143243431512659321054872390486828512913474876027

67195923460238582958304725016523252592969257276553

64363462727184012012643147546329450127847264841075

62234789626728592858295347502772262646456217613984

829519475412398501

Arranged into 50 columns, this is in fact 218 digits, not the 216 digits as described in the film. All the partially displayed digits presented earlier on his monitor and the printout appear to be consistent with this number, with the exception that Sol's number transposes the digits at 62 and 63, exchanging the "23" for "32", and does not contain the regular count of digits per row found in Max's number. Also, in the short clips where Max is seen transcribing digits by hand, some of the sequences shown do not correlate to pieces of the number already shown on his computer screen.

Wikipedia also doesn't like "creative" links to other articles. You shouldn't have to read the status bar to guess what page you're gonna end up at.

that's dumb as hell when you're linking something that should by rights explain what the linked phrase means

oh, a page explaining what a human child is, or the concept of blindness. awesome, thanks wikipedia, that's really answered the question posed by that sentence.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Linking is actually pretty interesting because you see it broken all the time.

In the example you cite that's actually not bad since in that context episode is specific (and it indeed links to that specific episode).

in the previous example the text in question is "the blind kids" and is therefore also specific (it uses the definite article)
