Unofficial Win2K Daylight Saving Time Fix

Saturn2003a writes "Microsoft has stated that they will not be offering a patch for the new US Daylight Saving Time for Windows 2000 and earlier. Only customers with an extended support agreement can get a Hotfix from Microsoft. To get around this, IntelliAdmin has created an unofficial patch (source code provided) that will fix Daylight Saving Time on Windows 2000 and Windows NT machines."

My fix?

I used to do that too, but I found all the spears and animal skins cluttered up the server room.

Yeah, right

[zr-rifle]

Step 1: Kick users off your box
Step 2: Change the time on your box
Step 3: Make her open the box.

It's my date in a box. Date in a box bay-beh.

I have all my clocks set to Metric Time.

Remember this moment, people: 80 past 2 on April 47th, the moment Microsoft finally kicked Windows 2000 to the curb.

So, the Y2K problem finally shows up

[SpaceLifeForm]

I knew it was just a matter of time.

There IS an official fix

Move to Arizona, Hawaii, or anywhere outside the US.

Grammar tip: "Effect" is a verb. "Affect" is a noun.

Slashdot has enough trouble with grammar without you confusing things. :-P

They can each be both, but the typical cases are "affect" as a verb, and "effect" as a noun. Linky [google.com].

who cares?

[cashman73]

I live in Arizona, you insensitive clod!

I wasn't going to even watch that SNL because I wasn't too excited about JT as host and musical guest. Glad I did, it was one of the funniest shows I've seen in a while, and Dick in a box [videosift.com] was hilarious!

Re:Hm...

[LordSkippy]

The US switching to metric? If I had mod points, I'd mod you funny for that line.

Oh dear.

[Rob T Firefly]

I used Windows to control all my time-related issues once. But after one BSOD all of a sudden it was 1955, my parents accidentally never met, and my future mom started hitting on me. Ugh...

I think it's from that german movie "DOS Boot".

Re:It's not like there are no other options

[Atzanteol]

Eh? From the first link [writersblock.ca] in the google search I linked to:

"Affect" is usually a verb meaning "to influence".

...

"Effect" is usually a noun meaning "result".

There is a noun meaning for "affect" and a verb meaning for "effect", but they're uncommon. So you go ahead and come up with your clever term, and I'll come up with one for when one uses it inappropriately.

Where's your Honda dealer?

I think it's from that german movie "DOS Boot".

Wasn't that film about Slashdot effect? I remember how all the hardware gets torpedoed and stops functioning for awhile.

If someone has problems with your metric "80 past 2 on April 47th", I provide English date format
"3 piglets, 1/16 of stone and a horn after Matins, on 3 Sunday after Xmas"
