Thanks Scawen, Victor and Eric for a great 2005, and thanks to the rest of the LFS community for generally being a load of cool people. And for putting up with my posts...
Happy New Year all... May this year be one of many PBs, WRs, and lots and lots of fun on LFS...
To the devs I'd like to give a very big thank you for S2Alpha, and may this year bring you loads of happy and supporting racers, a lot of breakthroughs in the game development, and of course all the joy and happiness you could ever hope for. Keep it up guys.

"Because of the discrepency between an ephemeris second (the fraction 1/31,556,925.9747 of the tropical year for 1900 January 0 at 12 hours ephemeris time) and the second of atomic time (the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom), we're left with more than leap years. In order to ensure that the the atomic time and civil stay coordinated, "Civil time is occasionally adjusted by one second increments to ensure that the difference between a uniform time scale defined by atomic clocks does not differ from the Earth's rotational time by more than 0.9 seconds.""
