Daylight Savings Time

I bitch about it every year (well, every 6 months). I hate daylight savings time. Now, this year they're changing it. What about all the devices that change automatically like VCR's and pocket PC's? I keep seeing articles about Pocket PC's and how to fix it - but it's more than a 2 step process. Stupid Microsoft doesn't just send auto updates like they do with PC's. I have alarm clocks that auto update. What about those? Argh. I think they changed it just to piss off and confuse people.

"This March, Daylight Saving Time (DST) changes for the United States,
starting the time change 4 weeks early. Congress in its infinite wisdom
changed DST in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Other countries such as Australia have followed suit. For most people,
this will come as an early relief from winter doldrums, but for IT, the
DST change is a major headache. After Year 2000, IT vendors were smart
enough to start using 4-digit date codes, but DST changes are still
hard-coded for the 1st Sunday of April and the last Sunday of October...." entire article here.

2007 DST is from March 11 - Nov. 4
