Re: [time-nuts] The future of UTC

I just don't see why we need to save daylight; don't we have enough already? Is that not part of the cause of the alleged global warming? And how does shifting the clock by an hour actually save any daylight? OK, so to get slightly more serious, the best argument pushed here in Ohio is that in th

Re: [time-nuts] The future of UTC

If you keep going farther from the equator, than it makes no sense after a while. Above the Artic Circle, when you get 24hrs of daylight, what is the need? And when you get no daylight in a day, should you wake up at sunrise? I just don't agree that the government has to st

Re: [time-nuts] Rb cooling

Hi Yes, I have seen several Rb's die from what I believe were temperature related causes. Since it's an accelerated MTBF sort of thing, *proving* they were temperature related is difficult. Put another way - I believe the manufacturer's data on MTBF vs temperature is fairly accurate. At elevated

Re: [time-nuts] The future of UTC

In Detroit, Michigan, when the auto manufacturing companies discovered that having everyone's shift starting at 8 AM caused huge traffic problems, companies chose non-rounded times. For example, one company starts their shift at 7:40 AM, another starts at 7:25, and so on. This was done without

Tony: The book is available at my local library - I'll check it out with an open mind, but I just can't see what would be the difference of telling people they need to go to work 1hr earlier instead of 'fooling' them by changing their clocks. Wikipedia has a long article, too - it
