Yes, they said that IF it happened, then there'd be 6 years' notice. Time enough, you would think, 6 years. But Time does not seem to be what we think it is. It does (or doesn't) match the Earth's rotation. It gets delayed by some old guys in Paris who decide whether to add a second now and then. It gets shifted around, so that midday - in our neck of the woods - occurs at a quarter past one for half the year; our sundial is never right. Beats me how anything works, really. Anyway, that decision was postponed until 2015: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16625614 regards, Atlantic -- Atlantic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atlantic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44626 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
