You can't eliminate daylight savings and still have the power savings it brings. Setting the time forward permanently means people will be using lights at 7AM instead of PM. Moving to an equatorial region would eliminate the need for DST but it's more convenient to set your clocks back / forward every six months.
"its mass is changing relative to copies held elsewhere"
I've heard this before but no-ones been able to explain it to me. What exactly is happening to the mass of the platinum spheres and why?
I guess this depends where you draw the line & I'm not sure about that. My HDTV box has a CPU and memory, and performs tasks like decoding MPEG streams, timeshift & remote recording but no jury in the world is gonna convict my roommates buddy who walks in and watches the football without my permission for computer hacking. There's so many things in my house that fall under this category: dvd players, hi-fi units, even microwaves have basics microprocessors but I wouldn't classify them as computers.

I'm impressed and confused that someone who can't hold a PS3 controller managed to build a custom input device.
Yeah, OP listed a benefit of DST as saving lives...

Could you clarify, a wifi hotspot is classified as a computer? It's intentionally accessing a network for sure, but don't know about a computer.
Particle and antiparticle must have
* the same mass
* the same spin state * opposite electric charges

This reminds me of that episode of sliders where a bacteria created to eat plastic waste escapes and eats the worlds petrochemical supply.
