Datlight saving

Jeremiah McCarthy
The XYL to the rescue, AGAIN!...She saved the newspaper clipping and says daylight saving will be extended one month overall, not a month in the spring and another in the fall...It will begin three weeks earlier, on the second Sunday in March, and end a week later on the first Sunday in November...Starting in 2007...;^)

Re: Datlight saving

Milt -- N5IA
HMMM!!!!   DST now terminates on the first Sunday in October.  If it is to
end the first Sunday in November beginning in 2007, then that is a FULL
month more in the fall.  ?????????

Clarification please, Jerry, from your XYL.

Milt, N5IA

 From the horse's mouth:

"On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy
Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates in the U.S.
Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March, and end
the first Sunday of November. Note that the Secretary shall report to
Congress on the impact of this change. Congress retains the right to
revert the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedules once the
Department study is complete."

Milt, if you set your clocks back on the first Sunday in October, you  
will be out of sync with the rest of us for about three weeks.  
Current law has us setting the clocks back on the LAST Sunday in  
October. Well, except for the clocks we keep on GMT/UTC...

In reply to this post by Jack Brindle
What next will my Government complicate for us and how?  I have to get
the instruction manual, like I know where I put that, to even figure out
how to set the clocks, and our multitude of phones are another issue ...
I suppose Ubiquitel will set our cell phones and my truck (he says
hopefully because otherwise, he is screwed) ... what about the 2.5 and 5
GHz cordless phones we have in the house.  Surely they can't expect us
to find the manuals ... can they?  (Actually, did they check about that
or care?)  What is XP going to do?  (OK, that may be an idle question
... I do wonder if Microsoft knows what it is going to do, but whatever
it does will surely be billed as a 'feature')

So many really important things in our world to deal with, so many
distractions.  Why can't GMT rule?

Re: Datlight saving

Matt Osborn
Fred,

 Windows Xp has a registry entry that keeps all the time zone
information.  All Microsoft has to do is update that entry; it should
be a very simple change.

Only a politician would think he could change the length of a day by
passing a law...

In reply to this post by k6dgw
This one will be a real pain. There are LOTS of devices with clocks  
that use the time change algorithm that has been in use since the  
70s. Every one of those devices will become obsolete. So, just think  
of your favorite devices, such as VCRs, wrist watches, etc. You will  
get to replace them all.

We have a year to get our legislators to reverse this situation and  
bring sanity back...

Heck, even older operating systems like Win95 and Win98...

Of course there are work-arounds, like lying to the computer for a couple of
weeks a year.

I'm not going to replace anything. Because sooner or later they'll probably
change back!

Hurrah! for Europe - the chaos in the US will be best observed from the
safety of the old continent :-)

I just wonder how many people will start to complain when my software shows
the wrong time :-(

It will actually be very easy to solve Windows-related problems.

GMT doesn't rule here and we invented it!!

So with these new changes, Indiana will get really confused.

  It's probably nothing to worry about because all the computers runs on
DAYlight saving time.

I'm not sure what runs on DATlight saving (smile).

Not anymore, Indiana decided to change to DST last April.

"Until April 2005, when Indiana passed a law agreeing to observe
daylight saving time, the Hoosier state had its own unique and complex
time system. Not only is the state split between two time zones, but
until recently, only some parts of the state observed daylight saving
time while the majority did not"

All the daylight savings transition dates are chizeled into Windows.  I'll bet Bill Gates is sponsoring this legislation to sell the next decendant of XP.

Its a table stored in the Windows registry; very easy to change. I've
made the change myself for a customer in Australia where Microsoft had
it wrong.
