Which year are they talking about? Is this an octal number?

  It’s to do with their “long” outlook. They’re thinking of when we’ll be in the five digits and looking back at the fours.

    I get that. But obviously they never programmed in a language where string to int conversion routines interpret such a number as an octal number ... which is quite common.

  Something that only understandable by the group of 50s scifi freaks that make this website, I think. Barely has any real meaning.
