Let's abolish daylight savings time

Things that are insignificant to some people can be very significant to others. Government funding of PBS is a great example of that.

Careful, bro. Metric time is what got the creators of the metric system executed.

SIde note, The only thing at my place that auto adjusted for DST was my one atomic clock, Ubuntu here has yet to do it. Cable hasn't either.

Ubuntu always auto-adjusts for me (since 2006). About half the time, when I boot into Windows it auto-adjusts again, so I change by two hours if I'm not careful.

Well here in the states, you could probably get it changed in your own state if you get enough people to whine about it with you.

I find it ridiculous as well, but meh... it's so much more effort to try and get it abolished.

Your link is broken because the forum changes the :D to a smiley face.

Here is a [hopefully] working link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DaylightSaving-World-Subdivisions.png

EDIT: Oh well crap. The noparse tag prevents hyperlinks even if you put the URL tags outside the noparse tags. Hmph.
