Richard H. Richard H. Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	Hah! and noon is? I've lost track of the number of times I've caught people out with 12:00 - is that AM or PM? Noon or Midnight. Worse are the ones who send maintenance notices out for 08:00 and then crib afterwards that "Of course it meant 08:00 in the evening, we thought that was obvious so we didn't bother with the PM" And people who send mails with times of (say) 13:00 GMT when what they actually mean is 13:00 local time in the UK (which is currently 12:00 GMT as we are in summer time). Is it hot in here? Nurse!

Of course it's 08:00 (as in AM)! $\:D$ OK, Richard - how about those people who write 24:00 for midnight?? I actually found a script once that tried to trigger something at 24:00 instead of 23:59 or 00:00. "Time" as we refer to it is a measurment of its passing - at midnight of the current day, no (reasonably measurable) time has passed, so it is 00:00. If you don't think time is important, consider the $$$$$$$$$ spend in 1999. $\:\)$ I had a moment this morning when I found that the time on my cell phone was off by 4 minutes.. It is supposed to sync with the carrier's time base - does this mean that time at one of the largest telecoms in the US has bad time sync? Glenn PS - stick to the good meds! $\:\)$ _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Alternatively, the twenty-four-hour-clock system may be used. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante-meridiem (before the Sun has crossed the line) and p.m. for post-meridiem (after the Sun has crossed the line). At 12 noon the Sun is at its highest point in the sky and directly over the meridian. It is therefore neither "ante-" nor "post-".[9] Maybe this is also part of the reason. The US just doesn't want to change things. $\:D$ Quote: According to the CIA Factbook only Burma (Myanmar), Liberia, and the United States have yet to adopt the International System of Units as their official system of measurement.[

Administrator Registered: 2000-01-24 Posts: 4946 Loc: Leatherhead, Surrey, UK	I once spotted a leap-second (belatedly - I'm not sad enough to sit in front of an atomic clock on New Year's Eve). One of my Linux servers had been running for a couple of years and I happened to need to get onto the console, and there it was - notification that a leap second event had occurred and the time was 23:59:60 I am however sad enough to have taken a screen shot Attachments Description:

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	well, that didn't remove any confusion at all. to avoid confusion, everyone should abandon their wrist watches and learn the fact that there are 24 hours in a day. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	If everyone used something like this then everything would be ok. 9 minutes past eight aka 8:09pm aka 20:09 on the watch below if I’m reading it correctly. http://www.h-spot.net/watches_british.htm Edited by Mart (2010-08-17 11:41 AM) Edit Reason: Misread the time. Fixed now. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.
