What did you say?

The Julian Calendar came into being sometime in the first century B.C., Julius Caesar ask the Alexandrian astromomer Sosigenes to advise him on how to reform the calendar. Sosigenes suggestion for a 365.25 days in a solar year was accepted. Julius Caesar directed that this calendar be put into use. The Roman Senate changed the name of the month Quintilis to July (Julius) and the month of Sextilis to August (Augustus). This reformed calendar became known as the Julian Calendar. And January first was the beginning of the New year. However, in AD 567 the Council of Tours abolished January first in favor of March, of which the date varied as to what day was the beginning of the New Year.


The Julian Calendar served as a standard for most European countries and America until the Gregorian Reform of 1582 A.D. and beyond. Since the Russians did not change from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar until 1918, many European have a birthdate based on the Old Style Calendar. Alaska retained the Old Style Calendar until 1867, when they transferred to the Gregorian Calendar. Today the principles of the Julian calendar continue to be used by chronologists. The Julian calendar is formed by applying the rules of the Julian calendar to times before Caesar' s reform. This provides a simple chronological system for correlating other calendars and serves as the basis for the
Julian day numbers.


Julian to Gregorian Calendar


The reason for the reform in 1582 from a Julian to a Gregorian Calendar was because the year of 365.25 days was too long. This error of 11 minutes 14 seconds per year amounted to seven days in 1,000 years. The calendar became increasingly out of phase with the seasons. And by 1545 spring time (vernal equinox), which was determining Easter, had moved 10 days from its proper date!!


The Julian Calendar became known as " Old Style" and the Gregorian Calendar became known as the " New Style" . Therefore anyone born in Russia before 1918, their birthdate is known as " Old Style" .

Loser.

He didn' t say anything, he posted. If you didn' t see it you can just look at it again. Asking what he said or posted is unecessary. Logic.

What part of stolen from egyptians didn' t you get?

Ok, stole it from egyptians made some worthless alterations to it?

Yeah, its still from the egyptians.

You lose.

Ginjirou, you aren' t important enough to me for me to go back through the thread, stfu if you have nothing important to say.

But which revision do you use?! Do YOU use the Egyption calendar?!

I bet you were bullied at school.

I personally don' t like the 12h clock. Or the 24h day.
It makes calculations unecessary difficult. The system is completely unscientific and is based on old tradition. The only reason we keep the shitty system is because we' re used to it. Every system should be decimal based.

We' re talking about 24 hour day clock formats used on our clocks, in was invented by egyptians I dont know why you have to bring shit up like 365 day calendars, im sure they stole it from egyptians or chinese.

Without even looking into it I already know, either egyptians or possibly the chinese, had a 360-363 day calendar, the romans stole it and turned it into 365.25 and all of a sudden it became their invention.

I guarantee that' s pretty accurate.

Get down on your knees amd make like a circus seal bitch!

This whole stealing deal resembles the " Sony steals" debate.
WHO THE F*** CARES ABOUT WHO INVENTED THE CLOCK!?

Majik, don' t waste your time.

k go lose to france some more pussy

Rather than be an American and get my ass handed to me in Vietnam, fuck up the first Gulf War and then get repeatedly raped by the townfolk of what' s essentially a 3rd world country?!

People threaten you and you all just get depressed. Take the Cold War and Cuban Missile Crisis as and example.

Your country struts around like it own the world and yet rogue states like Iran and North Korea scare you senseless.

Erm, no it wasn' t.

The Egyptions invented the Solar Calendar. We use the Gregorian & Julian Calendar and that you numb fuck was of Roman origin.

Roman callendar have been invented in Egypt and brought to Rome by Julius Ceasar, So it' s origin is EGYPT.

No, you' re just confusing. You' re like a hedonistic monkey, jumping between and flirting with the three companies are you please. It' s all good, but it gets tricky when trying to figure out which company you' re backing week in week out.

Seems like you' ve answered yourself - I' m just not a fanboy like you or Quez - I can appreciate good things from all companies and I can admit that they suck when they actually do.

Hahahahahhaa

hmm what now? I asked a simple question quez - are you blind , retarded or didn' t understand when I wrote I' m not joining them huh?

Did he beat me to it? I thought i Said about that? Please credit where it' s due, unless he DID beat me to it..

yeah it was you who told me about it , but ginjirou predicted it before we saw it (he predicted it would show over your game visuals)

Thanks for the info though :)

yeh GANGSTA that XBOX CAMERA THING is really cool dont u think?

It actually has a really nice quality not like that shitty eyetoy - it' s really nice :)

Evil - your great America was founded by European people, if it weren' t for us you' d be running around with your stupid tomahawk or dancing to summon the rain.

Your country struts around like it own the world and yet rogue states like Iran and North Korea scare you senseless.

Funny you should say that cause if England would have honored their word (POLAND, FRANCE AND ENGLAND all declared they would help each other if one is attacked) the WW2 would have ended in Poland or close to it' s borders.What you guys did? You wrote a fuckin letter to germans sayin' something like " please stop it,Please" .And then we needed Americans to actually solve this mess.

There are no perfect countries. just as there are no perfect console making companies.

Oh please, not a your-country-sucks fight. I thought we were more mature than that.
About the menus on Sony' s systems. The PSP keeps updating it' s firmware, do yuo think there' s a possibility that they' ll update the menus so that you won' t have to search through 500 files to get the right one?
