Because kindle webbrowser doesn't report local timezone to javascript (that is correct according to ;411 command) and always report getTimezoneOffset() as zero. So if i need to show correct local time i need to set GMT to local time (in my case +1) (without using 3rd library and set the timezone by hand in javascript)

Same, same as Windows has always been (gmt set to local time)
So for this one aspect, forget your programming *nix.

(Use different IP addresses if you changed defaults)

Device is not jail broken.
Which sort of limits what can be done in the Java sandbox.

There is a KUAL button for that purpose. (and it also sets the hardware clock)
Since you have root access, you might as well jail break the device.
(Which is just adding our cert to /etc/uks directory)
