WHAT WILL I DO WHEN MY COMPUTER, ETC ADDS ANOTHER HOUR ON REGULAR LEAPFORWARD DAY?

[HowHasItComeToThis]

WHAT MAY BE THE REAL PROBLEM.

[NYCGirl]

1. You go into your controls and turn it back. NT

[HowHasItComeToThis]

3. AND MY MICROWAVE, AND ALARM SYSTEM AND ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM

WELL???:wtf: :argh:

[Beetwasher]

4. I'M NOT SURE BUT I'LL BET FREAKING OUT ABOUT IT WOULD HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I SUGGEST HEAVY AMOUNTS OF PSYCHADELIC DRUGS, A QUART OF ETHER AND ABSYNTHE AND A JUMBO SIZED JAR OF VASELINE. THEN TAKE A HAMMER TO IT.

[Individualist]

10. Dang it, Beetwasher!

You made me spew coffee out my nose. Ouch!

[EFerrari]

16. LOL!

DON'T MESS WITH MY FREAKOUT, MAN! They're good as yoga.

:rofl:

[bertha katzenengel]

45. OH, GOD!!!!! SO WOULD YELLING!!!!!!!!

[NYCGirl]

8. I'm sure they all have controls, too. There should be a little button on your

microwave that says "Time" — use that one. As far as your other stuff, I have no idea, but I'd bet they have manual settings, too.

[Elidor]

46. CALL CONGRESS!!! RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!

It's their fault, after all.

[AnnInLa]

2. Go into your control panel and uncheck

the automatic update of Daylight Savings Time. Then change your times manually. (In the control panel, there should be an icon to indicate "date/time.")

[Garbo 2004]

5. Both Microsoft and Apple have patches to update their software for new daylight savings schedule. nt

[Renew Deal]

6. The power will go out when the power plants explode

So it won't be an issue.

[NYCGirl]

9. And when the banking systems fail and all the planes fall out of the sky,

like on Y2K.

[Crabby Appleton]

17. elevators will fall to the basement, crushing all occupants!!11!!

[slowry]

7. YOU HAVE TO TYPE HARDER IMO n/t

[dkofos]

11. You may want ot turn it off and leave it off.

[elfin]

12. Better buy a new computer

that will have everything right for about a year. If the same thing happens again - buy another new one.

The advisors on this board are asking you to tempt fate and a blown hard drive - possibly an explosion of some sort.

[Codeine]

13. YOU'RE COMPLETELY FUCKED!

YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO GO EVERYWHERE AN HOUR EARLY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!

[Lex]

14. lol!

:rofl:

[AlCzervik]

15. YOUR CAPSLOCK WONT WORK ANYMORE!!!! I'M SERIES!!!!1111

[burythehatchet]

18. You caps lock key may no lonGER WORK PROPERLY

[Esra Star]

19. Go to a site that adjusts the time to synchronise with the atomic clock n/t

[DesertRat]

20. I'm glad that AZ doesn't do daylight savings time. n/t

[TahitiNut]

21. Simple. Put it in your car and drive it to Arizona.

:silly:

[Individualist]

22. Call 911

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

23. ROTF!

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. But will that be '811' tomorrow?

:crazy:

[Renew Deal]

25. ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THREADS EVER!!!

:nuke:

[trof]

26. FACE IT. YOUR SCREWN.

[terrya]

27. I hope those assholes who legislated this are happy.

This is a gigantic, pointless pain in the ass. We've had to update all of our servers at work because of this. I still don't understand the point of changing DST 3 weeks early,

[Renew Deal]

29. Same here

I don't think this was thought through. The airline industry were the only ones I remember complaining, and they had the least problems.

[Madrone]

39. I spent yesterday updating a whole bunch of servers myself.

It was pretty easy work though. :shrug: I'm sure I've missed a couple of the buggers though....

[Cobalt-60]

44. Golf Course and other amusement operators

have claimed they can reap extra billions if they could just get more people out
earlier in the season..
This is like moving Thanksgiving back to kick off the Christmas Season earlier.
Our inconvenience is a small price for them to pay for it.

[Connonym]

51. seriously? n/t

[Little Wing]

28. YOU WILL DIE

CAN I HAVE YOUR STUFF?

[LSK]

30. the real problem would be

not enough porn!!!

:rofl:

[Beetwasher]

33. OH MY GOD THE PRON!!!

N/T

[Omphaloskepsis]

31. Y2K...

You will gain seven years. And 21 pounds.

[trof]

32. Oh god. The tears are running down my cheeks.

I haven't laughed this hard in weeks.
Thanks guys.
I needed that.
This one goes in Lounge Hall of Fame.
:rofl:

[MichaelHarris]

34. I'm all set

I got some Beenie-Weenies, Twinkees, and canned peaches stock piled up. I bought it all from the bat shit crazy right wing nutsacks right after Y2K. I got their generators also, really good deal. See I knew all about Y2.13K, you didn't?

I always wondered about Y2K and the second coming. If they were so sure Jesus was coming for them why did they stockpile beenie-weenies, Twinkees and bullets? Did they worry that Jesus may want the Twinkees and they would have to shoot him?

[havocmom]

48. Y2K? KY? I get them confused. They were so similar. Got duct tape?

Call me after 8, err, 9... :shrug: aw, fuggit about it

The pie is falling! The pie is falling!

We gotta make the pie higher...

Hey, when the hell is Happy Hour now, anyway?

[AWESOM-O]

35. Your computer will disappear for an hour

as it leaps forward in time. Also, the date will read 1900.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

36. Thanks for the WelcomesFOR THE WELCOMES

see you all again at the SAME TIME:yourock:

[trof]

37. Oh dear. I forgot my manners. WELCOME TO DU!

I still can't tell if your OP was a send up or not, but thanks for the laughs, no matter what.
:hi:

[AWESOM-O]

38. The real problem is when it falls back.

An hour before it switches back to standard time, the computer from an hour in the future will appear. Unfortunately, the one from the present is still sitting there on the desk. Unless you move it, there will be a horrendous explosion as the future computer replaces the present one. Parts will fly everywhere and it will be a spectacular mess. If you do move it, you'll end up with two computers for an hour.

The date will still read 1900 though.

[Dangerously Amused]

40. D00D!!1!! GET THE POWERBALL NUMBERS AS SOON AS THEY'RE PICKED1!!1!1!1

41. THE FAT LADY SINGS AT 2:00!

[ghostsofgiants]

42. Windows XP (and probably Windows 2000, not sure about older versions) should jump ahead tonight...

Because they automatically sync with an online time server.

[Omphaloskepsis]
