If we're gonna dump it, let's take it one step further - get rid of the way we currently do time.
Instead, let's all live on UTC (or GMT). That way, when it's 08:00 here, it's 08:00 everywhere else too.
Of course, this would cause some havoc with dates, but we can figure that out.
Though, it'll seem odd eating lunch at 19:00.

Ummm...the math is wrong...when its 0800 GMT, it'll be midnight here - Breakfast!. Unless, you want to make the USA the new GMT (We think we are the center of the universe anyway).bio wrote:If we're gonna dump it, let's take it one step further - get rid of the way we currently do time.

And we are not the only ones who shift our clocks - the brits use British Summer Time.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.

England follows DST as well.
They have "BST".
Also, shame shame on the people who made your equipment, Bio. I have to log in at night twice a year, and set the cell network time to and from DST.
On the switch, I can actually give it a range of dates to automagically adjust the time.
The BSC though, requires someone to tell it when to change.
