Is DST the Real Y2K?
While Y2K was a bust, there are a lot of people more credibly nervous about the unanticipated consequences of the change in daylight savings time coming up on March 11th. With DST moved forward four weeks in the U.S., courtesy of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, all sorts of technology-related things are seemingly set to go awry, most of them having to do with computers soon to be confused for a few weeks about whether it is really now, or an hour from now, or something else altogether.You can find more here from Microsoft, which will be at the epicenter of much of the DST blowup.
