Nah, he's over 50 now so he's more concerned about his prostate than making caustic comments, plus his memory's going - it's taken him 3 days to remember to post about it.... :evil:
 
International standard or not it's the wrong way round. Today is the 20th July not July 20th.

Just because OS and Windows are U.S. based doesn't mean everyone else in the world has to change to adopt their peculiar way of expressing the date.

Next you'll be telling me we spell colour "color" or pronouncing aluminium as aloo-me-numb... :rofl:

Is not about the US or Windows (or any other OS) - it's an international standard format that is intended to avoid misinterpretation when expressing dates or transferring data between countries that use different date formats.

2015-07-19 is not a US date format, they would format it as 7/19 or 7/19/15 - ISO 8601 uses the long date format of YYYY-MM-DD or YYYYMMDD with zero-padding where necessary, it also allows time information including time zones to be included in the same location-independent format

A big advantage of it, however, is that it allows an alphanumeric sort of dates to return them in the correct order. Unix timestamps will also do this but it would have really confused you if I'd stuck the date down as 1437292800
 
You are preaching to the ignorant there Perry :evil:

Now explain why the world started in 1970 …
 
Actually, I wonder about that - my email goes wonky sometime on my phone and the blank message entires have a date of 1970 next to them... Not sleepy anymore :D

Because Unix timestamps are the number of seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z so if you have a zero entry in the timestamp it thinks it's 1st Jan 1970
