Re: OT: Daylight Saving Time and Computer Clock
It especially makes no sense in Canada; it's dark in the winter no matter what you do with the clocks!

Re: OT: Daylight Saving Time and Computer Clock
Well my PC didn't update to the new time.  My lap top did, but it is running XP Pro, the PC is running XP Home. (SP2)

Re: OT: Daylight Saving Time and Computer Clock
My PC updated just fine. Didn't even bug me about it. I'm so proud of my little box for doing what it's supposed to all by it's self. *sniff* They grow up so fast!

Re: OT: Daylight Saving Time and Computer Clock
My PC keeps wanting to apply some Msql something patch. It applies it, then MS update downloads it again and wants to install it again. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Finally I just got PO'ed and turned it off.

I've seen claims that DST doesn't actually give a net savings of energy, either, but I don't have a link handy.

I'll search for the link as well, but yeah it's been shown without a doubt that DST does pretty much nothing about what it was originally designed for.

Re: OT: Daylight Saving Time and Computer Clock
Microsoft had a patch sometime last year for it. They were pretty quick to release the update.

Hi Atrocities.
Micro5oft have just admitted that not all PCs updated the time zone as expected. See article for fix.
