normiss 643 #1 February 15, 2007 So the US Government in all it's wisdom has decided we need to adjust DST. Apparently it is possible to extract MORE daylight each day! Anyone consider the effor this is going to take? The fucking systems affected? Financial transactions, cell phone times, time clocks, databases, security devies, time locks, NTP on network devices, PBX's and IP bridged phone systems, Java applications and embedded Java functions, ATM's, EFT connections and servers, Federal Reserve services, security camera systems, FUCKING EVERYTHING?!?!?!? oh wait...Microsoft has a patch....never mind http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/012507-daylight-saving.html http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/01/04/0318218 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928388 I hate computers. edit to add: Our VP is now looking for one of us to voluteer to be the newly appointed "WUSIE" - Windows Update Server Integration Engineer....

RB_Hammer 0 #5 February 15, 2007 DST is stupid to begin with. Why even bother any more? We never adjust our time here and things seem to be just fine."I'm not lost.
