    Paraphrasing has obviously lost all meaning as a word. /etc.

    screwball, nutjob, etc.

  18. Time is an artificial construct on Preparing Your Datacenters for DST Changes? · · Score: 1

    It has no meaning. This is confirmed by the fact that yahoos in a governing body think they can control it.

    Each server and client has its own definition of time that has meaning to it. Seeking to establish hegemony over each definition is fascism at its worst. Every server and client can seek to be the same as others in of its own free will.

    One day, at one time, all the clocks will be the same. At that moment, the Flying Spaghetti Monster will return in Glory. Ramen.

    Until that day, time is nothing.
