  1. 12:00 am is NOT ambiguous if you have a brain by afniv · · Score: 1 · on Star Wars Theater Rules

    Or it could be the last minute, which make it ambiguous. So if you see 12am today, does that mean 12am this morning, or is it 12am tonight?

    In other words, you could possibly watch the Star Wars movie 24 hours later than you thought.

    See the FAQ I listed before. I personally stick with the 24-hour clock. Then it's brainless.

  2. Use UTC by afniv · · Score: 1 · on Star Wars Theater Rules

    The Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is preferred over the use of GMT. At least Lucas specified 12:01am instead of 12:00am, which is ambiguous.

  4. TCl and Debugging by Zach+Frey · · Score: 1 · on Effective Tcl/Tk Programming

    There are at least two debuggers for Tcl. One is from Don Libes, and comes as part of his Expect extension (although usable separately). See the Expect home page for more info.

    The other is the commercial offering from Scriptics, John Ousterhout's company.

    I'm sure if you check the Tcl FAQ you can find more. Check comp.lang.tcl.announce for the weekly summary postings, it will contain a link to the FAQ.
