There's UTC as the universal time for the whole planet. Just need to get everyon...

The military does. It's called - or used to be called - zulu time.

It's only used by guys who -must- use it. Air plane drivers, strategic guys, comm center operators.

Everyone else uses the local time.

I suspect if UTC / zulu were really the bee's knees some general would mandate everyone use it.

Heck, they got me - a dumb American from the sticks - to think in metric pretty easily. UTC would be a breeze.

Another way to go would be to use longitude as the local UTC offset, in increments of 15 degrees (so that offsets are always integers).

At least set your servers to use UTC. They dont complain about when they have meals.
