To all those in the North America,
"Don't set your clocks back an hour this weekend or you'll have a lot of coworkers laughing at you on Monday morning. This year, Daylight Saving Time ends 2 a.m. the first Sunday in November, instead of the last Sunday in October.
For that, you can thank the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005. To save energy, U.S. legislators set the stage then for 34 weeks of DST, beginning this year.
The savings "could be in the ballpark" of 1% of household consumption on a daily basis, said Rob Douglas, research officer at the time standards group of the National Research Council of Canada.
So it won't be until next week that everyone rolls back the hands of time -- everyone except Saskatchewan that is. The province stubbornly sticks with Central Standard Time, year round."

Here we go again. Wondering how many cell phones didn't get patched last spring and how many calls I'll get on the 5th. I really hate daylight savings time.

They just need to turn off daylight savings time all together or tuirn it on all together .
So want to move to a state where it does not change.

Wow move to another state just to avoid changing a clock.
But if a thief you wouldn't move to another loc to avoid being shot at.
Interesting to say the least.

I spent solid month last year going to customer job sites and fiddling with access control/CCTV pc's with win98, 2000 and XP trying to make sure they did/said right stuff at right time....at $110 per hour, Congress didn't help these people much:p

My computer flipped itself back. But then again, I think I'm still on SP1.

Where is there a state where time does not change?
How would you get anything done?
Einstein said, "Time is just nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once."

Wonder how many children will get mugged or run over walking to school in the dark because someone thought we could save some energy.

Ya, I mean, it's truly amazing humanity survived so many thousands of years without someone else telling them that a clock matters so much.
Good grief.

You must not have children that walk to school. I am glad the police enforce the speed limit on my road during the time the children are walking to school. Not many parents walk their children to school and seeing these kids on a pitch dark road with no sidewalk is disturbing.

I think its Arizona and Hawaii. Indiana just start a year or so ago to observe DST.

Got paged at 6:30 AM Sunday for some PDA's that didn't get the DST patch. Gee that was fun. Then again this morning, more equipment that was an hour off.
I wish congress would just mind the shop and leave us all alone. This stupid DST law has cost companies more money than it would have saved in the next century.
