A solution to the Time Problem?

There's been a lot of talk about confusion with time zones and such; I've made a little site to take care of that...

The Official FreeSpace Time!

Methinks we should adopt it as the 'Official' FreeSpace time, since my 1337 html skills and a lot of googleing has enabled me to display the time we should all go by, along with your current time...

yes, but half the people here seem to not know what time zone they are in compared to GMT, nor do they know enough about military time or zulu time to convert it...

Indeed. What say you, Hippo?

Also, it doesn't work under Nutscrape.

Good Idea but I think the layout and some script needs to be updated to work in all browsers..

No British Summer Time?

And shouldn't the year be like 360-odd years forward?

The uppermost time block is focused on internet time (or as much of it i could find)... I was looking for the one where everything is 1-4000 to ues, but couldn't...

As for mozilla, netscape, and firefox, its pretty basic HTML... I did find some that ONLY worked in netscape, but they're all weird (imho) if they can't display that...

GMT sucks. UTC all the way, baby! :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
