Timezone fix:
Mar. 12th, 2007 11:19 pmLet's all go to a 24-hour clock and all be on a single, global timezone. Computers already do that (your 'time zone' is just an addition or subtraction problem that is handled in the system clock).
So, if you're in GMT, then there'd be no change. If you're on the East Coast of the US, then the sun might rise up around 1100 or 1200 and set around 0000. At this point, the 'sun rises at' and 'sun sets at' times in the Newspaper will be worth something, and the opening times for stores, bus routes and whatnot would be particular to that timezone. So, if the sun rises at 1200, then opening times for businesses in that are might be 1400.
Whee. I'm off now to go to work.
