The US media have broken the pregnant silence by putting the daylight time change on the front page, with pictures. The previous change in DST dates was 20 years ago when computers were not generally relied upon as clocks and "oops" was enough to explain being an hour late.
I expect far more disruption of society from this 1 hour change with only 2 years of notice than has ever occurred from a 1 second change with around six months of notice. I consider it far more likely that this week may be the impetus to bring general agreement that no parliamentary/legislative/executive agency should make any change in civil time scales without five years of notice. -- Steve Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99845 University of California Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06025 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
