Old & Slow?

[nihil]

Hi Folks,

Like myself, the planet Earth is getting older and slower

Don't forget that tonight's the night you adjust your clocks for the "leap second"

[.:front2back:.]

Yes and the extra second will most certainly come in handy. i'm planning on using the extra second wisely.

and to think i saw the name of the thread, and i was thinking it would be something about a computer or something..
Nihil you certainly know how to make misleading thread names..

cheers

Heee, Heee,

Actually, there is a vague connection?

There has been some debate recently as to whether we go to Universal Standard Time (based on atomic clocks) and dump GMT (based on solar/planetary relationships).

Technologists favour UST for the ease of synchronisation of computers, GPS systems and so on. Astronomers and traditionalists favour GMT because it observes the traditional day/night approach, and the changes in our solar system.

I only thought about it because of the countdown to the new year......................the mere fact that I was pissht at the time had absolutely nothing to do with it.............honesht

Hi nihil,

I vote for Daylight Savings Time...only because it was invented by a Canadian
