[b]The official time to change your clocks is at 2AM (summer time), roll back an hour then so that it reads 1AM (local time).[/b] [b]The United States [highlight]DOES NOT ROLL BACK TODAY.[/highlight] You guys roll back on November 4th.[/b] [quote=2010 thread, blast from the past]Pros of doing this: You'll get up for work / school at the correct time You'll get a lay-in of an hour Cons of doing this: You've gotta go around and modify all the goddamn clocks in the house while cursing Note: [b]Your PC will automagically put the clock back for you if you're syncing with a network time server.[/b] Make sure you are!

Thank you so very much, myself and my clocks would've been lost without this
I always liked waiting up to see what my computer would do about it. Windows 95 used to pop up with some message along the lines of 'HOLY SHIT SUMMER TIME', Windows 98 used to tell you that it had changed itself automatically as if it was some sort of amazing feature, XP used to mention it the next time you turned your PC on (I think so, anyway) and Vista/7 just go from 1:59 back to 1:00 again. Joy!
So glad to be off of BST, or rather back on GMT. It always made tuning into an international livestream at a specific time that much more annoying.
I wish the entire world would just drop DST, it's a concept that wasn't very useful to begin with and has lost most of its meaning in today's globalized and digital entertainment fueled world. What's one more hour of sunlight that most people don't use because they're indoors anyway to the hassle of having to double and triple check any appointment outside of your timezone?
well its an extra hour to sleep, but then again, its the weekend
1 more hour between me and school

I always turn the clocks backwards in the evening before said 2 AM.
