Morning - anybody in yet?
The DARK Room of Evil, Plotting, and General Mayhem
Mr Inertia - Now new, improved and mostly human! Posted Jan 3, 2004
And what sort of time do you call this?
The DARK Room of Evil, Plotting, and General Mayhem
Wiro Posted Jan 3, 2004

The DARK Room of Evil, Plotting, and General Mayhem
Mr Inertia - Now new, improved and mostly human! Posted Jan 3, 2004
Well I was here at 0800GMT, so you're half a day late!
The DARK Room of Evil, Plotting, and General Mayhem
Wiro Posted Jan 3, 2004
Z = Zulu time = GMT
wow 2 hours ... be thankful i am up now and not still in bed 
The DARK Room of Evil, Plotting, and General Mayhem
Mr Inertia - Now new, improved and mostly human! Posted Jan 3, 2004
Zulu time?
What's Zulu time?
And why is it equal to GMT? 
The DARK Room of Evil, Plotting, and General Mayhem
Wiro Posted Jan 3, 2004
well it Zulu cos that the phonetic pronuciation of Z
all the tome zones in teh world have one letter that can be usedto represent them, and GMT is represented by Z. BST is represented by A
I don't know any of the otehr letters cos i have never had a need to use them. but when handling vast numbers of time senstive communications, it could be usefull.
At the start of writing down a mesage you are getting over a radio in the date time group would you rather write one letter or three. bear in mind you will be doing this all day.
(radio example used cos that where i was taught it from)

Don't suppose an extra 2 letter would make much difference!
Although the difference in cost for ink or pencil lead could be quite substantial......

AK - fancy that! Posted Jan 3, 2004
time zones are stupid.
However they did prevent a terrorist attack once.
One groups of terrorists set the bomb's clocks in one time zone, then gave it to some other people, who were in a different one, and they left to go plant the bomb an hour too late and blew themselves up.
Or maybe that was from daylight savings time... don't remember...
