Is daylight savings time in effect?

[ChaoZ]

Do we change it today or Nov. 4?

 

[Epic Fail]

next weekend

I'm wondering the exact same thing. The GF swears it's daylight savings today but I can't confirm. Weird thing is my computer adjusted today and the pilot on the GF's flight indicated it was daylight savings.

You need to update your computer.

There are still systems out there that haven't been changed to reflect the different days it occurs on.

 

[destrekor]

my computer and phone haven't changed yet, so it's all good 'round these parts.

Vista says no.

 

[crab]

Yes, until next weekend.

For many years, the last Sunday in October was the end of Daylight Savings Time. That was changed this year.

http://www.infoplease.com/spot/daylight1.html

"At 2 a.m. on November 4, 2007, groggy Americans will turn their clocks back one hour, marking the end of Daylight Saving Time (DST).

The federal law that established "daylight time" in the United States does not require any area to observe daylight saving time. But if a state chooses to observe DST, it must follow the starting and ending dates set by the law. From 1986 to 2006 this was the first Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October, but starting in 2007, it is observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November, adding about a month to daylight saving time."

I'm not sure what's going on. Have I been living under a rock? My Verizon phone listed the time as one hour ahead of my computer time. I tried updating the time on my computer with different timeservers, but my computer time didn't change, so I changed it manually to be one hour ahead so they would match.

Now I'm looking at this site displaying the Eastern Standard Time, and it is one hour behind what my phone and now-changed computer time says.

Obviously one of them has to be wrong, which is it?

Probably your phone. Try updating the phone software through your carrier.

My computer and phone both switched over, but my good old trusty calendar says next weekend

 

[BoomerD]

I wonder how many people don't pay attention and will show up for work/school an hour late tomorrow?

But then I went to my main computer with Vista and it confirmed the same time as my phone and said it would go back one hour on the 4th. I'm guessing my phone was right, and my laptop moved back one hour on the old date because I haven't installed any updates (it's an illegal copy of XP Pro on a laptop that had a legal copy of Media Center Edition, but I didn't like it so put the bootleg XP on it). So Vista and Verizon were right, and I should've realized that in the first place.

if your computer changed, you didn't patch it

i go off my cell phone, it changes automagically

Yes, where I live, anyway. It's currently 12:31pm PDT.

Methinks you've got that backwards, and you're losing an hour of sleep. What you might normally wake up at as 7:30 will now actually be 6:30.

LOL!

Think about that again.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

If we're setting the clocks back an hour, then we repeat that hour. Thus we get an extra hour.

... I'm thinking about my daughter, 14 months, who will now be getting up at 6:00 instead of 7:00 a.m. ... hence my lost hour!

This is what happens when I'm at work on a Sunday!

 

[imported_Imp]

Would someone be so kind as to remind me whether Daylight Savings is the one that takes an hour of my life away or the one that gives me that one hour back?

spring forward.
fall back.
