1. Mmm, using a 24h time way to complicated for you, you need a to know if its AM or PM? well, if its Past 12, its PM and you only need to subtract 12.

2. If your time-zone is -8 then subtract 8 BEFORE doing the 24h format -> AM/PM conversion.

3. So they use DD/MM/YY on the forums? nope i.e: " Extended server downtime - 1/31/13 " i don't know else in the world, but "euro" years have only 12 months so I'm gonna suppose its MM/DD/YY date format (which btw is complete bullshit, why do you put days between month and year? that's like SO efficient to sort)

PD: nice attitude man, I'm sorry our poor time formats suppose a shock after watching your highly advanced and efficient ones, and that your also highly advanced and efficient brain can't do 2 ******* sums and an (inexistant, because format is already MM/DD/YYYY) swap. After all there in -+USA? must exist that wonder gadget called calculator that do sums for you. Here in Europe we are waiting for the abacus, our experts conclude development could be completed this year but we had to pause it because we understand that developing the wheel is more important to move vegetables from our fields to the lord castle else he may come, burn our houses and **** our women.

No1 in what?

And yet, you are only reinforcing it with your attitude.
Face it, the world does not revolve around your country. Nor any other country for that matter.

PS.
Get on the metric system at last. And while we're on the subject, MM/DD/YY ?????????? Wtf, that's stupid as hell. Also: It's EIGHT O'CLOCK. What? EIGH PEE EM MAN EIGH PEE EM.

Number of people in jail, and firearms per capita.

Nope, your incarcerated individuals are disproportionately minor drug users & repeat offenders.
