Extra Daylight Savings May Confuse the Gadgets
CrimeDoggy writes "In the energy bill to be signed by the President today (August 8), changes are to be made that extend daylight savings time. The bill would start daylight time three weeks earlier and end it a week later as an energy-saving measure. Many devices such as VCRs, cell phones, and watches would still operate on the previous schedule, potentially causing problems."
Here we go again...
*insert the typical "Time of day is relative to the sun's relative position to your area" and "noon is supposed to be when the sun is overhead" and "work schedules would be confusing" and "knowing when things like breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. are would be confusing" and "business hours would be erratic" et al.*
'Yes, firefox is indeed greater than women. Can women block pops up for you? No. Can Firefox show you naked women? Yes.'
Okay, first an acknowledgement of one of my own mistakes gets modded down as "Troll", now a light-hearted comment which could not possibly inspire flame has been modded down as "Flamebait."
Look's like some frisky moderator wants to bitchslap me today. Heh. Might as well give it up, kid. My Karma's so good, if I cancelled and restarted my acount I'd be coming back as the god Vishnu himself.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
I hope you can get over it. I was under the impression that Critical thought was a HIGHER Skill Than SpeLLing. you should check out this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0177650/ Its about a guy who masters the english language, but unfortunatly He iS a ComPLEter Dipshit! you guys might have something in common. NOw I GUEss I just need to work on My CaPPitalizzzzation.(is that spelled w/ 4 z's Or onE?) have fun pointing out IRRELEVENT points to RelevenTTTTTT Posts wanker! BTW "Moffie" is spelled wrong! its really speled @$$h013
After digging through your post, I didn't see any critical thought, so my initial impression (that you were a nimrod) was borne out.
Yes, thinking is more important than spelling. Unfortunately, you're bad at both.
Hugs n' kisses.
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
You are a rocket scientist? are you the guy who forgot to convert English to metric, and totaly fucked up one of NASAs missions, well atlest you can spell proper english! mabee you can help me out... is centER spelled Centre? how about Color and Colour? no offense but sorry i can think faster than I can type. And I personallly (does that have 4 or 3 l's) would like to apologize for the very first misspelled word in the coments secion of slahdot since its conseption. BTW if you are as smart as you think you are can you tell me when it is apropriate to us a semicolon as apossed t a colon? (news flash...this just in...American english is apervesion on the Queen's english.) If you are such a linquist move to France where they actually have a government orginivation that makes sure their language is pure french & it isn't corrupted by forein words. I hear air fair is cheap now! Or mabee is should add the (sic) suffix to everword I use, just so we can be cool again! Oh and incase you were wondering if I was a Nimrod I would have registered "thelastcoolnameyet.com" but some spelling nazi beat me to it (very original)! LONG LIVE AND PROSPER -spock...opps! i forgot to put quotes around that...Mabee you really are smarter than me
First: Decaf.
Second: You might be able to think faster than you can type, but since you're obviously not too swuft at stringing together a coherent thought, I'm not sure it matters very much.
Third: For semicolon use, check out an MLA style guide. I'll go out on a limb and assume you can get that typed more or less correctly into a Google search box.
Fourth: If you had something worthwhile to say, it might be worthwhile for me to decipher it. Since you don't, I won't trouble myself with you any further.
More hugs n' kisses!
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
1. YEA you bulid model rockets in you parents basement, and shoot if off in an empty football feild! that constitutes RS?

Churchill received national attention in January 2005 for a controversial essay he wrote following the September 11, 2001 attacks, in which he described the attacks as "chickens coming home to roost," and the people working in the World Trade Center as "technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire" and as "little Eichmanns."
3b. Incase you don't know what hes talking about try reading some NON-US[Propaganda] Books, since you have such a comanding understanding of the English Language
