Venezuela won't change its time zone until January. Not even el presidente could keep the sign straight in his announcement of which way to reset the clocks.
http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSN2426299520070924 I can hardly imagine a better example that time zone and daylight time changes (and as discussed in this list, leap seconds) deserve five years of advance warning. I wish IERS would take the lead here so that the politicians, legislators, and bureaucrats might get a clue that there are deep and broad technical implications in a world with hardware and software that thinks it knows what the civil time is. -- Steve Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 University of California Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
