A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2008.
The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:
2008 December 31, 23h 59m 59s
2008 December 31, 23h 59m 60s
2009 January 1, 0h 0m 0s
The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:
from 2006 January 1, 0h UTC, to 2009 January 1 0h UTC : UTC-TAI = - 33s
from 2009 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = - 34s
How are you going to set THAT on your VCR?
