IRC Forum w/ CmdrTaco & Hemos Tonight at 8pm Eastern

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the come-one-come-all dept.

Tonight on irc.slashnet.org in #Forum Hemos & I will be hanging out answering users' questions. This is your chance to ask about the moderation system, story selection, or the technology upon which Slashdot is built. (No Biz questions please ;) It's been a long time since we last did this, and we're hoping we can answer questions and get some feedback on some new ideas too. We'll see ya there.

    as has been repeated many times, this is not a global site. it's an US site run by people in the US. Hemos and company are from michigan (originally), which is in EST. if they want to use it, their choice.

    While I agree that it would have been nice to have utc for those in other countries, I get sick of people bitching at the american websites for thinking in familiar terms. Ever notice how they list stuff in terms of USD? that's cause that's what they have in their piggy bank.

    Quit being so fricking politically correct- I hate people that pull that crap. /me apologizes for the flame

    One thing Ive often wondered about regarding the development of HTML was : Why did nobody, not MS, not netscape... nobody ever implement a time tag extension. ie some thing like this

    <time timezone="UTC+8">
    13:00
    </time>

    Then the broswer could just translate it into the readers timezone automagically.
