I thought this was a funny wtf, I never noticed it before but my Time Zones tab is missing Poland. Time zones are difficult enough without having them changing.

Arise, Poland! Arise!
That timezone map has caused trouble before. A couple pixels representing Kashmir in a "does not belong to either country" color managed to get both India and Pakistan so frenzied that Windows was, as I recall, banned in some places.
Considering the ephemeral nature of political boundaries and timezone policies, it's probably not wise to base a UI on them.

At least they did not split up the Polish territory between Germany and Russia in the map. Imagine the political consequences...

[/quote]Yes, I read about that. That was in Raymond's blog too, I think.
As for the original link, I was laughing out loud at Raymond's reply to the first guy's comment. Some people shock me when they manage to remember to breathe each day.
