I know this is a stupid post, but my own curiosity just has me wondering. And it sorta relates to the topic.
What time zone is everyone in?
I am in EST. (Detroit to be exact)
If you live in the Pacific zone, do you have an outlet to catch OFF at 5:00pm PST, or do you have to wait until 8:00pm PST?
Curiosity. It killed the cat. But not in the case of Snowball I.
PST, Long Beach.
I don't know what you're asking. So here we go. Mon through Fri I get the Simpsons on Fox at 6:00, 7:30, and 11:00 pm. I think I get them on Saturday at some time, but I don't know...I'm usually busy. I get them at 6:00 on Sundays, and then 8:00. If you're asking if any of us PSTers can catch a live feed of your 8:00 Simpsons at 5:00 our time, I don't think we can.

I think that last part was what he was asking. It's funny he asks if you "have to wait until 8:00pm" when he also sees them at 8:00 but somehow doesn't consider that waiting. Central time rules though, we see them at 7:00.
BTW, for another week or so it's PDT...it's still daylight saving time.

Yeah it was kinda confusing...that's why I was asking...LOL.

You have to remember, us EST folks (Yes, soon to be EDT) have a Eastern Time centric view of the earth. Everything should be at our time. I forget that the people in earlier timezones don't think about being in earlier timezones, and that it is just natural for them.
Oh I am aware of that...very aware. BTW, you are CURRENTLY in EDT you will soon go back to EST. Daylight saving time is April-October.

Man. I ALWAYS get those confused. Always. But as long as my cellphone clock changes automatically, I am good to go. Stupid timezones. They think they're SO smart. But seriously, thanks for the info.
Yeah me too, so finally one day I looked it up. http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/ has a whole explanation and history of daylight saving time (they even nitpick that it's saving not savings). If you want to go nuts, it has a really confusing part about Indiana because it lies in two different time zones and parts don't observe daylight saving time.

Thus proving that's where Springfield is! Only Mayor Quimby and the Springfield council would be confused by daylight savings and vote against it. Using geometric logic I have proved once and for all that I don't know what I'm talking about and should shut up.
By the way, I'll vote for the monorail thingie.

Man, don't EVEN get me started on Arizona. I drove through there twice this May; I finally gave up trying to figure out what time it was. They don't observe DST either, and it was always described as being in two different time zones, depending on what time of year it was. Arizona: get with the program.

Except outside the USA. "Spring forward, Autumn back", it dosn't have quite the same ring to it, somehow. =)
Yeah...but that's only very useful for knowing which way to turn your clock (which he seems to also be confused by)...it doesn't really help you with which one is actually daylight saving time.
Kevin
I know that much. I just never knew when it was Standard Time, and when it was Daylight Saving Time. Thanks to that URL you posted here, I will never make that mistake again. (For a week or so.)

That's EST.
You can look at people's headers and sometimes determine it.
In the case of AOHell, you can't:
Greenwich? Great. No help there...
Actually, it turns out that a lot of servers are configured that way. What a conformist shame. :)
On the other hand, there are some more ISP's (like mine) that report different time zones:
That's for *.rr.com
Look.com also reports the time zone.
On the other hand, sometimes the time header doesn't help (when someone in one part of the country posts on another computer network: people on the East Coast using Yahoo/Hotmail are often 3 hours off from the time they thought they sent their mail).
Oh yeah, EST here too, in case all that didn't help. :)

But seriously, thanks for all the good info, however confused I may have been. On a second reading it made a little more sense.
