Real sailors go by the sun. Not some artificial time setting dictated by
government. But, I guess you wouldn't know about that being that you're
a beached bum. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

Hey Dopey,

Real Sailors, not 'net sailors, that voyage across wide Oceans depend on
what you call "Artificial Time!" It is called LONGITUDE and was truly
set up by clocks.

Don't you; "Just hate it when an 80 year old fool points out your
STUPIDITY so easily!"

Did you "SPRING FORWARD?" Your Local Noon is now an HOUR different than
it was. Rather important for your NOON Sighting ( Man made Tables)

Suck it up, Dopey, your STUPIDITY IS SHOWING, once again!!!(G)

Sorry, old chap, but it's impossible to show that which is non-existent!

My noon sighting is the same as it was prior to Daylight Saving Time. I
just push the little button labeled "on," then I wait a minute or so for
the GPS to initialize, then I read the lat/lon right off the screen.

For my laptop I didn't have to do anything either. It changed itself to
DST.

And just where did you ever get the idea longitude was set up by clocks?
Longitude is set up by geometry. You have a globe and you divide it into
360 degrees. If you are a Brit who thinks you're the center of the Earth
you place the 0/360 degree line in your own insignificant country in a
little burg named Greenwich.

If longitude was based on time, we would have to add a leap longitude
every four years. So, come now, isn't it time to apologize for casting
aspersions on a body who is superior to you in every way save years
lived but including years sailed. Bwaahahahhahahahhahahahahaha!

Dopey,

Your STUPIDITY also extends into Geometry(?) which isn't Longitude.
Before lines of Longitude which were positioned by a clock, they used
MERIDIAN LINES that were set by GEOGRAPHY not geometry

Neal, you are to stupid for this discussion. I'll end it right here. You
are to stupid to discuss Geometry, Geography, History, Navigation,
Sailing, Sail Making, or Natural Science

Adios

Now, that's funny! Lines of longitude are also called meridian lines but
meridian lines have nothing whatsoever to do with the time clock.
Perhaps you are getting confused by the interest in developing an
accurate chronometer which was necessary for early sailors to plot
longitude by using the geometry of the stars and other heavenly bodies.
Unfortunately that is a side issue which, while it might confuse low IQ
types, has nothing to do with meridians of longitude beings based on the
ticking of a clock.

Meridians of longitude DO have everything to do with 360 degrees in a
circle, however. Honestly, old chap, you sure have some odd ball ideas.
No wonder you sold your inferior motor boat (the one with the cosmetic
sails). Probably couldn't find your way back home because the time on
your watch didn't match up with your Meridian. Hence, you used more
diesel fuel than you could afford.
