Daylight savings time will change at a date different from what the control boxes' programming understands. All these control boxes will not properly estimate peak-traffic times and possibly cause more congestion. All these light controllers have to be reprogrammed to the new schedule. Again, for no reason.
Yes, you have a point there. This point was not stated when Mike Grello "exploded". A change in daylight savings settings, as asked by the original poster, is a non issue for users of SuSE linux, using normal computers. It is a probem for emmbedded computers, specially if they can not be remotely updated, and even more if it is a piece of code instead of a table as in linux.
Daylight savings time serves no real purpose. If they want to change something about daylight savings time, they should just eliminate it.
I would agree there. Time is a reference, and a reference that shifts around is no good. IMO. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDLL1btTMYHG2NR9URAiZcAJ9tS7uvMhUMX1fGslQXRQ/6IKomCwCglw4u PWK5VgC7oRr3wnPybKGJbs0= =Glg5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
