I wish I did.  This morning I've awakened one hour early to find the master
alarm (the ultra-smart and otherwise nice but time signal deaf, Emerson) had
jumped ahead one hour along with the Samsung DVDR and a few other
"DST"-smart items.  I also noticed a few web sites like Zap2It were listing
the wrong time as well.  Thank you, Congress!!!






WARNING:  Off-topic political (but non-partisan) screed follows: I liked
them better when they were chasing and perhaps murdering interns
(Condit/Levy) and debauching young pages instead of passing bonehead laws.
Speaking of Congress, I heard an interesting lecture about why Phillip
Morris is spearheading a campaign to have the FDA regulate smoking.  Since
they hold the largest share of the market, an advertising ban would simply
"lock in" their huge slice of the market.  The lecturer also said that Enron
supported the Kyoto treaty because it would clearly raise the overall cost
of energy.  Since they worked on a percentage, it would have been very good
for them in the long run had they not had other difficulties - like being
common gutter thieves in silk suits that got caught red-handed.
