In August of this year, Congress passed a bill extending Daylight Savings. Starting in 2007
More legislative stupidity.
That will mess up every pre-programmed computer chip in every device currently 'timed' to adjust to daylight savings.

Anyone who etches a government edict into hardware as though it were forever, deserves to get burned.

I honestly don't know what they think they are accomplishing with that change. They're not getting more daylight, unless they think they can legislate the speed at which the earth rotates. Whether they call it 8 AM, 7 AM, or 40 Bazillion AM, there are still only going to be as many hours of daylight in a day as God allows.

That will mess up every pre-programmed computer chip in every device currently 'timed' to adjust to daylight savings.On Novell servers, the start and stop day and times are just server variables, so it's no big deal. The use UTC for the time anyway, and the local time is just computed from the time zone and DST if needed.
On the other hand, does anyone know if this is just a registry setting change on Windows servers? How about with UNIX and Linux servers?
