Talk:Year 2007 problem

message: So if someone is going to rename Y2K7 to Year 2007 Problem, why not migrate the talk page? And to do this without talking about it? Where was there any discussion?--Smkolins 14:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Migrate talk page 

message: I think that the tag should stay until the article has been updated with information about what has actually happened. (Is there a more appropriate tag for that?) Jobarts-Talk 18:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  "Daylight Savings Time Puts Kid in Jail for 12 Days" 

message: Gerrrr! My alarm clock changes itself for day-light savings time but I bought it before the recent changes. Now it changes on its own at the incorrect time. It did it just yesterday. Now I have to reset it early, then change it when the real date comes. Double the opportunity for confusion or worse. What if I had to be at a meeting and my clock changed itself on its own? Daylight savings time is a bad idea for all the confusion is causes, but keeping it and changing the implementation days makes it even worse. I wish congress didn't do this. --Jon in California, 29 October 2007  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.73.9 (talk) 12:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually, though, the thing that's not included in this article but maybe should be is that "Jon in California"'s alarm - and indeed, all clocks with this issue - are one hour late both in March and October, which is counterintuitive. Anybody object to me making the explanation (with the mathematical reasoning) in the article? -- JCaesar 00:32, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I object. I don't think the article should have too much practical stuff or specific problems with particular devices - SimonLyall 10:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  My Alarm Clock 

message: The first paragraph of the Article says "Starting in 2007, daylight saving time in many jurisdictions of the United States and Canada begins earlier each year and runs later each fall than in previous years; in 2007, for instance, it started on the second Sunday in March and ended on the first Sunday in November.[1]".
The "in 2007, for instance," is peculiar; the legislation requires the changes to be on those days every year.
Moreover, the change in the USA applies by Federal Law to ALL places there that use DST; the only choices are whether or not to have DST, and in some cases which Time Zone to be in.  Canada I think is more liberal; the provinces decide for themselves --- and have all made the same change to the dates.
Those who write on the topic should first read and understand "H.R.6 Energy Policy Act of 2005" "SEC. 110. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS.".
