They aren't going to get this fixed in a short amount of time.

You mean seriously we can't turn off DST on our computers? I have a Mac at home and I can check a box for DST or no-DST and adjust the time that way. Same with my Windows computer at work just now. I double clicked the clock, went to the Time Zone screen, then "unchecked" the "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings time changes". Hit OK, and my clock backed up an hour.
