Daylight Savings Time Changing!
« Reply #1 on: March 07, 2007, 09:31:57 PM »
This is as much BS as was the scare of 2000 and the one of 2014.

1. Most computer clocks are updated using a government server.
2. There has been ample time to take care of any changes that need to take place.
3. This is not worldwide... or even the whole US. There are places that do not use DST...

As to approval... good question... what part of the government says... "Yeah, let\'s move the DST back one hour". Not out of a correction of time (like the extra day in Feb. every four years or the extra second that is added every few years [yes they actually add SECONDS to the calendar]) but just to make it more convenient for people.

I\'m all for it but who DID make the decision?

Just like Y2K... nothing happened. We all changed our clocks and the computers and cell phones are what we used to make sure we set them to the correct time.
