4. Nope - it's been the last Saturday in October for a long time, but I think
with the new "energy bill" they may be moving it back into early Nov. Not sure when this takes effect though.

7. It takes effect in 2007.
DST will begin mid-March instead of beginning of April and will extend into beginning of November:

I use "Dimension 4" to keep my PC clock synchronized with the U.S. Naval Observatory's time server (using SNTP) at tick.usno.navy.mil. It keeps my PC within 1-2 seconds of standard time, and automatically adjusts for DST.
