Daylight Savings Time

[John John]

No, I don't think so, I think they should keep it as it is now. What
does it bother you that DST exists or is in use where you live? What is
it that is so bad about it? Do you get up at 4:00 AM and go to bed at
6:00 PM? I like longer daylight hours after work or after supper, it
brings people out and it's fun!

I could give you plenty of reason against it and already mentioned one very
important one, but why is my different view not tolerated by you???
Doesn't sound very democratic, does it? <H>.

What do you mean "not tolerated by me"?? I don't give a hoot what you
think or what your views are on DST! It doesn't bother me one bit,
think as you please, I don't care! If you want an election over it then
go bug your elected officials and ask them to change it or pass a vote
on it. And as for your "very important" reasons why we should not use
DST I haven't seen any of them posted here.

If you are trying to confirm proper operation, set the date to March 9, 2008
and the time to 1:59 AM, wait until the clock reads "2:00 AM" and see if
Windows resets the time to 3:00 AM.

Hello:

I seem to recall reading about what Ben is saying. Even after the changes
are made to the registry time zone entries, the changes only "catch" when
the date and time crosses either the spring or fall DST boundaries. So you
need to follow the procedure as outlined by Ben to test proper operation of
your time zone registry entries.

I see nothing that you posted as "very important" reasons not to use
DST, all I see is bitching that you don't want or don't like having
people engaging in an extra hour of sporting activities or enjoying
other pleasant pursuits during that extra hour of daylight after a long
day at work!

This may be a perfect example of a hijacked thread!!!

The problem is that the time wouldn't change it appeared to be still
operating under Eastern Standard Time, instead of Eastern Daylight Savings
Time. However, I just tried your suggestion and indeed the change does take
effect as scheduled.

It's obvious I have a problem with the date/time program. If I go and change
the time zone from Eastern to Pacific, the time doesn't change. I don't
think it's a big issue because there should be no reason to change times
except for DST.

Thanks for the feedback Ben. At least it confirmed that TXedit was not the
issue.

Hi John.....ignore him. He lives in a *parallel universe* and most of
the time makes absolutely no sense at all. I often wonder how he made
it to the age he claims to be......drifting aimlessly and totally
unaware of real life problems or joys.

What a 'bull' and I didn't do any 'bitching', that suits you much better.
If you like it, fine, but that doesn't mean I also have to.
I said 'one reason and there are others', but as far as I am concerned,
we can leave it at that, yielding any other suggestions. <H>.

Well this is what you said:

"I think "DST" should be outlawed. It's sole purpose is to allow the
golfers an extra hour of play in the summer time, that's all, other
reasons for it are plain fiction (hogwash)."

That certainly sounds like bitching and sour grapes to me! It sounds
like you feel that people having fun physical activities is a bad thing!
Maybe instead of enjoying outdoor fun after supper people should just
sit on their fat fannies!


Then your apparently "very important" reason:

"...all it does is to upset one's bio-rythm".

Well gee, aren't you retired? What the heck does it matter what the
time on the clock reads? You can go to bed or get up at whatever time
you want so I can't see why *your* bio-rythm should qualify as a "very
important" reason to abandon DST. Maybe you should buy very heavy light
impenetrable curtains and draw them all shut tight an hour early and
leave the outdoor fun for others!

Are you included in that group? Or where exactly on the "scale" do you fit?

He is NOT included in our social group, which is why he is so snarky!!

On my Windows ME system, the clock does not change when switching
time zones. Also, when changes are made using Tzedit, the clock is not
immediately affected. The change takes place on the date and time
specified by the new settings.

That's interesting Ben because the only thing I can compare it around here
is an XP desktop and changing time zones has an immediate impact.

I'm delighted that you checked in this week. Otherwise I would have thought
that something was wrong with my system.

Thanks for your feedback.

I am at a point where I manually change to the correct time via the official
US-time:
http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java
The shortcut is residing on my desktop, allowing me to check anytime I
please and, while doing so, to correct the time, if need be. Anyone's
choice. <H>.
