- cratermoon 12y agoThere are countries that have changed which side of the International Date Line they claim. As recently at 2011 Somoa switched. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Date_Line http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Date_Line Now that is the sort of thing that drives programmers nuts.
- shortoncash 12y agoI actually had to deal with this exact problem two days ago. I was baffled because the timezone was being listed as UTC+14, and that places like Kiribati crossed the date line. UTC+14 didn't exist until the date line was crossed. I have an app where users are running it while crossing time zones. :-(
