DST is the most worthless thing in the world. Complete waste of time and resources. I wonder how many people are paid by tax dollars to "think tank" about DST????

Also, I think time zones are fecking stupid, too.

Try scheduling a conference call with people from 5 different time zones. There is NO WAY everyone will get that shit straight.

Let's all just talk about shit on GMT 0, for crying out loud!

It was good for us... our customer had to spend almost $1m to test all of our systems. Not as profitable as Y2k, but it still cost billions, just to move it up and push it back 3 weeks. Good thing we are saving on enery because of it.... oh wait, statistics last year showed the difference was minimal, if any :mj07:

Like I said before, the global warming hoax made us change the time.

With that said I like daylight saving time, it gives me more time after work to play outside with my daughter.

Why didn't my computer change the time?

Many computer-based systems can shift their clocks automatically when DST starts and finishes, based on their time zone settings. Two implementations in wide use today are zoneinfo and Microsoft Windows. Some applications standardize on UTC to avoid problems with clock shifts and time zone differences.[93]


WINDOWS XP has done it for me for years.

unemployment line might help them get their shit straight.:mj07:

they can update their resumes' as late as 7 in the evening by the natural sunlight and watch us who need the extra daylight hours to get our work done.
