Holaa!!;D
I'm sure most of you have heard the terms GST and GDP (especially during this crunch time;P). So I would like to say something about it and its effect to our economy. The term GST refers to the Goods and Services Tax while GDP is the Gross Domestic Production...Hold up!!...Are you serious?? Put the textbooks aside for a while, you're going to get a HD don't worry!;P..Now, take note what I'm trying to say next!
For the 'oldies' you're probably familiar with the system by now but for US(haha!) newbies, the next few lines might give you some useful information.
DST which refers to Daylight Saving Time is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less (Wikipedia).
For us in NSW, our DST will STARTS on the 28 October 2007 which is this Sunday. So remember to adjust your clock at 2.00am by moving it forward by one hour.
What's the point of this, you say?
After browsing through the net, me myself still confuse on the benefits of DST. I used to think that they're doing it to conserve energy but the evidence for this is rather weak.
BUT!..haha...the best part about DST is that all of us can go back home earlier by one hour!! yayyy!!haha;P
So what do you guys think? Do drop us a comment!;D
Your IT Nerd,

There were many criticisms about the DSL since its first introduction in the 1700's. Personally, I don't really see how it "saves" daylight in Australia. It's confusing especially for travellers and overseas businesses. However, researchers in NZ found that power usage decreased 3.5% when DSL starts. Well, if it really does save energy and its for the better of the environment, DSL it is!
