GMT
n : the local time at the 0 meridian passing through Greenwich,
England; it is the same everywhere [syn: {Greenwich Mean
Time}, {Greenwich Time}, {GMT}, {universal time}, {UT}, {UT1}]
UTC
n : Greenwich Mean Time updated with leap seconds [syn: {universal
time coordinated}, {UTC}]
Well, in documentation and interfaces, I think we should use GMT,
since BIOS clocks etc generally don't do leap seconds. ;)
Correct? So this bug should be closed?
