UTC. For practical purposes when describing locations, local time is what matters UTC and DST and BST are irrelevant. For most of the year New York is 5 hours behind the UK, and San Fran is 8 hours behind. It varies by 1 hour at other times. UTC is useful as a standard reference. Everyone who is interested should at least know what their own time is in relation to it.

It's not frozen at any particular time. Talking about being pedantic, who said it had a time frozen at any specific point in time? I'd have thought you could read the time I posted the replies. But hey, next time you're having a bet between yourselves, I'll keep out of things. Got better things to do with my life than have you flip your wig over. No one's flipping their wig. But then, what was the point of putting that link in the replies?

That's why I said it. Are you saying David Anderson is wrong? Could you please check the time stamp of the post that you quoted? I gave the link to the actual UTC clock on both your and Sirius' posts, as at that time the link showed that neither at 16:06 nor at 16:08 UTC Seti went down. Wasn't that what you were betting on? Okay, yes, you are correct that both of our predictions/bets were wrong (by over an hour, as it turned out). However, the link you put in both replies was to a site that explains what UTC is, so I thought you were being pedantic about the technical meaning of UTC vs. GMT. I will check again, but I did not see anything on that site that related to a specific time. [edit] The site has a clock giving the current UTC time, but it's just that: the current time. It's not frozen at any particular time.

What is the point of bringing it all up, only to take it all down again the next day?? Provided what they need to do once a week gets done, does it really matter which day? Probably because it's a weekend, night, or both, they won't get paid to do it then, and they'd rather be doing something else. Are you saying David Anderson is wrong? What?? Our Lord God & Master who can do no wrong, whom we revere upon a pedestal, and prostrate ourselves before him as not worthy, and is so dedicated that he fiddles with the code at 11Pm at night? 100 Hail Mary's and go and sit on the naughty step! I'm just asking a question.

Also nope: http://www.timeanddate.com/time/aboututc.html All the time stamps in all the forums and on the server status pages say UTC. That's why I said it. Are you saying David Anderson is wrong?

Seti's scheduler is responding now, but Beta's is saying down for maintenance. The Beta forums are up, though.
