Prior to this year, most computers and electronic-based time pieces such as PDAs and Telephones, had a set of rules programmed into them about what date the time changed. This was a regular occurance and it could easily be determined through a small program what date and time the change needed to occur. It was the first Sunday in April through the last Sunday in October. But Congress decided to change those rules. The new rule is it starts the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November. Many computer and other device manufacturers provided a patch that cancelled the prior program and replaced it with a new one. But mechanical devices don't have 'brains' to calculate or change times. And if Congress changes the rules again, we have to start all over. Computers only do what you tell them to do. And they don't understand the mandates of Congress. All of the US states follow the DST rules, except Arizona. For many years Indiana also did not observe it in all parts of the state, but that has changed.

What is the longest and shortest day in 2008?
The longest day is June 20 2008 and the shortest is December 21 2008 for the northern Hemisphere. The opposite applies for the southern Hemisphere. This is true for DAYLIGHT, however, if you live in an area that observes Daylight Savings time, the longest day would be November 2, 2008 (25 hours), and the shortest would be March 9, 2008 (23 hours.) The last paragraph is a ridicuous answer. 1. It the change between daylight time and non daylight time only causes a change in hours on the clock, the physical hours stay the same. 2. It is common knowledge that "shortest day" or "longest day" refers to daylight hours (As in day time and night time) as the hours in a day are constant. 3. The date provided are meaningless as every region that observes daylight times begins and ends the period at different times of the year. 4. The dates have no provision for the difference between the northern and southern hemisphere. The first answer is the correct response.
