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.
Y2K all over again. I'm underwhelmed
They're not planning to.....they're going to.
Oh good grief!! Don't any of these people know how to change their clock and calendar ..?? Sheeeeeeesh!!
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!
Well, this time the libs really will be able to say "Bush did it!"
I already drank up all the bottled water I saved for Y2K during the Power Blackout of '03.
I agree!!!
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.
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.
I like the change.
I'd make it TWO hours if it were up to me.
I'd also make it all year.
I don't care if the rest of the globe doesn't like it, I do.
It's a done deal.
Cmdtime 3 is easy-to-use command-line utility which adjusts computer's date and time via Internet Time Servers. It's recommended to use it either standalone, or in batch-files, or with external shedulers.Download Cmdtime 3 (57k Zip archive)
I like it because most of the utilities I found wanted to stay resident in the System Tray... Rather than synchonizing at given periods of time, for me it's enough to synchronize the clock at Windows startup.
I'm going to save my hour until I really need it. What will you do with yours?
Didn't we hear this same warning approximately, oh, seven years ago? All the computers were gonna crash, water systems go down, commerce halt, and civilization was facing its ultimate doom?
As far as I'm concerned, if moving the clocks ahead an hour means THAT much to the politicians, just move the clock ahead one hour NOW, and LEAVE the freaking thing alone!
"But my kids will have to go to school in the dark in the winter."
"Suck it up, Princess, EVERY kid north of the Oregon/Cali border ends up going to school when it's dark out in the wintertime. Some in the further north regions GO HOME in the dark, too. Grow up!"
Daylight saving time has been proven to CAUSE a major spike in road carnage due to overtired drivers. There is a slight (not even close to commensurate) dip in the carnage stats when DST is reversed. This current scheme is going to exacerbate BOTH the extremes of the stats. MORE carnage when begun, LESS decrease when over.
"The grain don't care what time it is!" No, DST was definitely NOT put in for the farmers. Canada's Saskatchewan and several farming states do NOT conform to DST, as there is no reason for them to.
As far as I am concerned, DST is nothing but another attempt by the government to condition the public into obeying inane edicts. DST might have made sense during the first world war, but it serves NO purpose in our 24/7/365 society of today, other than disruption.
