Say goodbye to daylight-saving time this weekend.

The bug
in daylight-saving time A new law that extends daylight-saving time (DST) by four weeks means programmers will once again need to check their software code for potential problems in handling a calendar adjustment. The measure, approved as part of energy legislation this summer, would shift the start of DST from April back to March -- and move its end from October to November -- most likely beginning in 2007. Those extra four weeks will save energy -- the equivalent of 100,000 barrels of oil a day.
But it may also trip up
applications and gadgets programmed to automatically handle DST hours based
on the schedule the U.S. has kept for nearly two decades.
