Thanks Blick! It just goes to show you that part of our problem with understanding physical reality, is that science with all it's decimal math is just a little too inflexible.
X-Air,
if (year is not divisible by 4) then (it is a common year)
else if (year is not divisible by 100) then (it is a leap year)
else if (year is not divisible by 400) then (it is a common year)
else (it is a leap year)
I don't know what language that is, but it looks a lot like English. But, I think you're right. It's every 100 years leap year is skipped, but every 400 years the skipping of leap year is skipped. See, I almost understood it. Thanks for the update.
Edouard, it may be too late to say this, but don't forget the popcorn!
Steve, doesn't Airplay require an Apple TV?
I've often wondered if the various governments will ever get together on a World time agreement, that would eliminate time zones. In one example, it would be the same as every time zone going to Greenwich mean time. That way, when the market opens, it is at the same time round the world, and people everywhere (except for one time zone somewhere) would simply start their day at a different number for the hour. It may sound implausible now, but before railroads the idea of time zones probably sounded implausible, too.
I guess I should wait and see if the European Union breaks up before posing that question. The aptly named "new world order" seems to be meeting considerable political resistance.
