Jenze take je pravda, ze se ta vterina vklada podle potreby a asi neni nejaky jednoduchy zpusob, jak takove vteriny programove vypocitat (jako se pocitaji prestupne roky). Takze si myslim, ze v praxi se sesynchronizuje jen tech par nejdulezitejsich zdroju a my vsichni ostatni mame cas od nich, takze nas leap second nemusi moc zajimat. Zcela evidentne tudiz nezajima ani programatory casovych funkci;-)... snake P.S. Ze slashdotu: Note that there can be 61 seconds in a minute when a leap second is inserted. Some Unix systems pretend that leap seconds do not exist, others attept to take them into account, using tables of leap seconds. It might be better to run the system clock on TAI and convert to UTC or local time with a leap second table. Navic, aby to bylo jeste zajimavejsi: The next leap second will be inserted into UTC in this way at the end of December 1998. In principle, a leap second can be either positive or negative, although there have not yet (as of September 1998) been any negative leap seconds.
