Strictly speaking Unix wasn't born on Thu Jan 1 UTC 1970, right?
dmr says this in "The Evolution of the Unix Time-Sharing Sytem":
Although it was not until well into 1970 that Brian
Kernighan suggested the name `Unix,' in a somewhat
treacherous pun on `Multics,' the operating system we know
today was born.
I wonder if how many unix programmers were born on Thu Jan 1
UTC 1970. Linus comes close.
UNIX was half a billion (500000000) seconds old
on Tue Nov 5 00:53:20
1985 GMT (measuring since the time(2) epoch).

Hmmm... According to my rough calculations, it hit a billion (US) seconds
around 2000.
It's over a billion and a half today:
