what about london?
I think it may only apply to the US but I had also seen that Austrailia had changes in DST also (it was another hotfix).
I haven't heard anything.
Get your head out of ... the fridge and listen very carefully. :)
Oh, there were some changes to DST in several Aus states late last year. I believe it was introduced in QLD and WA.

W. Australia Standard Time
DST trial period was signed into law after the prior cumulative time zone update was created.
That's the one. Maybe Queensland are still umming and ahhing over it.
just go in the registry and change it manually ..

or simply adjust that little clock in the system tray :D
And if you dont like to write software or do things yourself ...

Guess I will have to buy a new alarm clock. Mine automatically adjusts for DST and it didnt change this morning. Now I will have to manually change it and change it again in 3 weeks. Not to mention two more changes when DST is to change again in October. Too much wqork, I'll just get a basic one that doesnt change.
Where can I download the Mac Patch?
Upgrade to Windows first then go to Windows Update. :D
Mac users dont know what time it is lol.
well my windows xp auto adjusted without any patch .. ..
anyway, its pretty easy just to manually change the time on computers these days ;)
Get a clock!
Don't rely on these newfangled computer contraptions.
adjust your sleeping habits .. i wake up exactly 5 hours after falling asleep .. i havent used an alarm clock in years .. :D

and this is just a tidbit I ran into (and wasted an hour this morning diagnosing); make sure you're in the correct time zone before researching information about the patch and updating and all those mundane things we do to fix problems without effort.Quote:

Turns out my computer has been "Central America" instead of "Central Time". m(_ _)m
Actually, I never change the time on my watch or my car radio. I never have.
For a few months of the year I'm an hour behind to so just substract 1 when I do a time check. For other few months of the year I'm right on the money.
I always thought "leaping ahead" and "falling back" was laughably comical to the nth degree.
My wife, on the other hand, makes the transition a religous experience. She methodically changes every wall clock and/or digital clock in our house at 2:00 A.M. - I'm not kidding.....she sets an alarm clock to go off at 1:59 AM, then gets up and does the deed. *shakes head*
She actually reset my car clock one year. I set it back.
Nope this doesn't apply to the UK :thumb: :D
I don't think Daylight Savings is meant to be quite that drastic.Quote:

Don't worry....it isn't worth the effort to figure out (unless someone like you wife resets it on you, then it is incumbant upon you to learn how to deal with it so you can undo what she did! :D )Quote:

Sounds like you have a game and not a radio in your dash.
Arg, I hate all those "universal" symbols they use now. What happened to buttons with words on them? Allot easier if you ask me.
