Well if you run Windows 2000 server you may want to take notice. Microsoft has stated that they will not be offering a patch for the new US Daylight Saving Time for Windows 2000 and earlier. Only customers with an extended support agreement can get a Hotfix from Microsoft. Never fear though. IntelliAdmin has an unofficial patch that will correct the problem using information taken from a Microsoft KB article. They have two versions and one of them allows you to remotely update machines on your network. Very nice. Check out some of their other applications while you’re there. They have utilities to enable remote desktop remotely on a machine and to remotely disable USB and CDROM drives. Good stuff.

This one is funny as can be and just as embarrassing. It seems Verizon and most of the people working there are unable to distinguish the difference between .002 cents and .002 dollars. You can read the article here about a guy who was quoted the .002 cent rate for data service but was billed at .002 dollars. You can listen to a recording here of him trying to explain it to several people at Verizon and none of them ever get it. We certainly need to improve math in our schools, no question about it.
