Imagine: Omega watches which sync up with the radio signal from an atomic clock, but refuse to configure themselves for any timezones other than those for which it was authorized for sale....
Thank god Omega produces only mechanical watches... buy only 100% DRM-free, baby;-D
Well I can somewhat understand your confusion, but on the other hand... just consider this:
You are maybe thinking that after the last bombardment/war in Afghanistan ended, life returned to "normal" there. The following information is from a German radio report a couple of months ago, that reported on the conditions that the Afghan jurisprudence has to work under. The central problems are: lack of infrastructure. They have NO central database or information infrastructure for recent laws and judgements that they could refer to. They have no computers. No internet. They don't even have - in most places - typewriters or paper to start. The judges and attorneys are not driving around in armoured cars, protected by bodyguards - forget it: they are taking the bus. The same bus that the accused may use.
This is what I would call chaos - this is everyday life there.
Reminds me of an interesting way to go about this: the German magazine "ComputerBild" whose readership are obviously non-professional users, design their help-section like this: http://www.tv-genius.com/images/Computerbild1.jpg
Every mentioning of a button is a screenshot of the button itself. That seems to work pretty nicely...
