DST is completely outdated in a global 24/7 society.It is inconvenient and unhealthy. www.standardtime.com is a great site with more info.

how about we just get to work an hour earlier and home an hour earlier and leave the clocks alone. How stupid some people are to think we actually get an hour more daylight !!! haha there is still the same amount of day and night in 24 hours, der

Daylight savings sucks if you're a shy person who likes peace and quiet, because the extra hour of daylight means more noise from kids and car traffic.

If each of you will write your congressperson, maybe we can get something DONE about this stupid DST system!

I agree. DLST is about the stupidest thing going. I remember being a kid in the 60′s when they started it. It was suppose to be for the farmers, to give them more daylight. Well, back then our population base was largely rural. But hey oh great brain trust of today…wake up! Its not rural anymore. So our dumbass congress were too lazy to introduce legislation to end it, so they bundle it with the ol energy bit! How convient. Anytime they need a vehicle to explain away their stupidity, they just pull the ol energy or education card! (They love that one too)!

restart your cisco phone with *-6-settings, and if the server has the correct time, it’ll fix it.

yeah, making the switch that much earlier has questionable benefits net/net. what i find more interesting is the fact that we still practice it all given its origins in colonial america (to help the farmers squeeze in another hour of work)…yet arizona continues to ignore it altogether???

i’m sure glad i’m not doing any transcontinental or transatlantic flying this week…

Don't get me wrong, it was great to walk the dog down to the beach in daylight. Raymond Chen at MSFT has some good reasons why DST is a pain for all of us.
