AbsoluteTime/@c

The way to achieve this is to use Map. That is:

In[2]:= AbsoluteTime[ToString@#] & /@ c

Out[2]= {3483302400,3483216000,3482611200,3482956800,3481574400,6314499548755200,3479932800,3479587200}

Here, I've used the shorthand way of expressing Map. This could
have been done as

Map[AbsoluteTime[ToString@#]&, c]

or it could be done without using explicit pure functions (the
AbsoluteTime[ToString@#]& part) as

AbsoluteTime/@(ToString/@c)

And to verify the result is what it should be:

In[3]:= DateString /@ %

Out[3]= {Thu 20 May 2010 00:00:00,Wed 19 May 2010 00:00:00,Wed
12 May 2010 00:00:00,Sun 16 May 2010 00:00:00,Fri 30 Apr 2010
