I like the change..... More daylight in the evening which is more useful than in the morning. I already got my computers changed for the update. Pretty easy with Unix systems.

Should I re-stock the Y2K bunker?
I don't think Daylight Savings Time needs to be altered...but this is idiotic.

What's the problem? We've got our Solaris patches, our Oracle patches, our Java patches.
It only takes about 12 hours to apply them to each server, and there are just a few thousand servers to do.
We'll just need a couple of weekend outages.

Move the time 1/2 hour, then leave it alone!

I've still got 50 rolls of toilet paper and three cases of MRE's left over from Y2K.

I love daylight savings time. Global warming is pretty nice, too. It just doesn't go far enough.

I already drank up all the bottled water I saved for Y2K during the Power Blackout of '03.

However, the UK datacenter managers were really annoyed when they were told they were not impacted, but had to apply the patches anyway, 'just in case'.

if they could find enough old programmers who could write binary and COBAL to save the world from the 00-doom I'm not worried. As a matter of fact I just set my Windows XP clock ahead an hour myself to get an early start on happy hour.

12 hours?
I hope you mean 1/2 hour!
I've never heard of a patch that took 12 hours to apply ...

Oh no, don`t tell me I`m going to have to re-build my 300 foot underground concrete, lead lined and steel reinforced bomb shelter that I dismantled after Y2K. Getting the 10 years of canned good out of there was bad enough, now I am going to have to put it all back in? Actualy I was going to do it anyway in preparation of Hellary becoming next POTUS.

How about recognize the clock is based on physical astronomical positioning - and leave it alone!
