It is still a _fixed_ ruleset, very simple for Zoneinfo. I was referring to various nations that change theirs on-a-whim. Some are not small nations either. Apparently you aren't familiar with Zoneinfo or i18n concepts in general. ;). No offense. > Now since the chance made no actual difference, Actually, the Energy Act of 2005 did a lot overall, like mutual funding into the 10 nation restart of Nuclear Power (since all but France has forgotten how to build them ;). But more specifically, the US DST change had been debated for over a decade, so it was a shoe-in for that bill. > can we put the rules back again The rules are "fixed," no issues. Again, talking i18n here, this was a "fixed" rule change, whereas many locales are not known prior. The US is no big deal in comparison to those. Heck, virtually all of Indiana and several other places in North American finally "fell in-line.". You should read up on it, it was quite an "uninfying event" for DST on this side of the globe. *Context* of the thread? Hello? LPI? Internationalization? > so my VCR and other stuff will be able to do the > rules correctly again? So what you're saying is that your devices were generally ignorant of Zoneinfo concepts in general? And they'd have to be manually changed in other locales anyway, or even various Indiana counties (the ones that used different dates/times). That argument holds up just as good as putting 19__ for the date on checks, as US DST has changed before, and will likely change again at some point in the future. And a VCR? Dude, 21st century here, went DVR some 5 years ago, and even had DVD-R back then too. -- Bryan J Smith - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://thebs413.blogspot.com Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile
