One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time
An anonymous reader writes "Congressional leaders from both parties have signed off on a proposal that will change daylight savings time in the United States as early as this year. All that is left is a signoff by President Bush. If the proposed solution becomes law, DST will be extended two months, from March to November. With many IT applications relying on accurate time information and many having automatic adjustments for DST, how will the IT world handle this change? And with the proposal reportedly taking effect this year, is there enough time to implement change?"
That's something a terrarist would say. We lock up terrarists indefinitely without trials here in the US.
Terrarist.
I wish that was true in my area. I would have loved to see us learn a new language. The sad thing was at the private school I was in we learned snippets of Spanish and then it was abandoned b/c they didn't have the funds to keep it going (I was in things such as "math plus" and such that allowed me to do these things... While other kids were learning simple addition I was learning multiplication. While they were learning multiplication I was learning how to find the value of a variable. Somehow somewhere I learned how to count to 10 in spanish and french. I, obviously, liked spanish more b/c the spelling was easier. I still do. I took spanish for four years in high school and then two more in college. I changed to Latin part way through and found that this was a big mistake b/c I enjoyed spanish just way too much. I guess I am sort of amazed b/c the town about 20 min away (I live in farm country that doesn't help either) is overwhelmingly populated with Spanish speaking Americans, yet we don't/didn't "learn" spanish til we were in 9th grade. What a crock.
