No, in our one case where loosening DUT1 tolerance would break things within a year, despite the designed inflexibility, our application makes us lucky and we will be able to lie to the telescope about its longitude. Details are in my first presentation/preprint from the previous futureofutc.org meeting. http://futureofutc.org/2011/ As noted, this hack may not be feasible for other systems, so it does not generalize to guarantee acceptance. What I see as worse is that loosening the DUT1 tolerance is basically GLaDOS: The Enrichment Center is committed to the well-being of all participants. Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. It makes leaps even less common, less necessary to worry about and test right now, and it changes the nature of those leaps in ways that require a whole new way of thinking about how POSIX systems will handle them. -- Steve Allen <[email protected]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
