Re: Clocks

Clocks on web pages are just silly, period.  There are major usability
problems with them in nearly any case; only in very rare circumstances
(such as time-sensitive _interactions_) should anyone put a clock on
the screen.

(Examples of problems:  Whose time zone is the clock?  Do you need to
know what time it is?  Etc.  Keep in mind that all major operating
systems either have on-screen or on-demand clocks, and most people in
the world have access to the time through a variety of devices apart
from their computers, so there is absolutely no need for a realtime
clock on a web page!)

--Kynn, just say no to clocks on web pages
