Nothing happened for me. joe windows user is not affected... ms issued a windowsupdate patch last month to correct the problem... the issue is corporate networks, online banking, airline scheduling software, etc. where the fix is more difficult to impliment. However, we're all still alive today, so everything must have gone smoothly las tnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All week they've been setting up patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to do a factory default reset... Hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then power cycle. You'll have to insert a cat5 cable into an available port, enter your firmware config page, and uncheck the DST box. Then encrypt yourself with WEP security, using the key "12345". All should be well in a couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 See I don't see the big fear in what they were talking about. Nothing happened for me. People's reactions are similar to Y2k. When nothing happened, lots of people said, "Oh see, IT just made up the problem! Nothing happened!" I was up from midnight until 9am (8am...) because we had a few minor issues at work (7 servers out of 700 - not bad...). CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I hate this early DST. In the past, it would be light out in the morning when DST started. Now it's dark, it's made getting up a hellish endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's dark, it's made getting up a hellish endeavor. Don't worry, they'll probably be changing it back http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/print?id=2938715 Cliff notes: Kellogg and Wolff came to their conclusion by studying Australia, where several states extended daylight-saving time (DST for short) by two months in 2000 to accommodate the Olympic Games in Sydney that year. They compared electric demand in the state of Victoria, which extended DST, with its next-door neighbor, South Australia, which did not. "Our results show that the extension failed to conserve electricity," they wrote. In fact, the two said, shifting Australians' clocks led to a tiny increase in power use. “In the 2005 energy bill, Congress calls on the department to report whether energy consumption drops, as hoped, after the early start of DST. If not, the bill has a provision for the country to return to the old daylight savings calendar. Under the previous law, standardized in 1986, DST began on the first Sunday in April.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
