Let's hope not. What a in' mess people made that out to be. |

I actually found Y2K to be quite hilarious and believe we should continue the tradition by fretting over Y...2K9!
Just you all wait, when we're eating franks n' beans out of a cold can because all of our computer systems crashed similtaneously, I'll be waiting with a great, big Itoldyaso. |

Add one second to your lives; you earned it due to conforming to a system of measurements that don't actually add up to being based on anything but the oscillations of atoms. So if time is the measurements of atomic oscillations; why the do we need to add a second ? Oh yeah we have 53 + different calendar systems on earth now measuring time..
To even begin to blindly accepting the notion that 1 second should be added to any ing calendar is laughable; I mean why even waste time saying that you should add time when that amount added does not add up to the amount of time wasted to say to someone to add time.
At any rate what Einstein taught us is that mass warps space time; so if we have to add 1 second does that mean a huge mass appeared near our solar system and warped space time so much we actually are 1 second a head in the future prior to lets say for the past oh 2000 years?
I mean if all these atomic clocks one day started giving out different oscillations all at the same time; could we of passed through a membrane? |

ok so now I read the article:
"Most cellular phone providers and computer operating systems check with the world's atomic clocks and update their time to add the leap second automatically,..."
So we are adding 1 second and in binary 1 could be on or off. . . like a dual relationship; On/Off; Electric/Magnetic; Night/Day;
all represented with 1's and 0's
By calibrating all technological devices capable of communicating with this "world's atomic clock;" to have an extra second reminds me of iRobot to some extent.

This has nothing to do with you - you don't even know how to tell time on a digital clock. |
