If you live in the US... Dont forget to set your clocks back tonight! 
Is it tonight, tews?
To be honest I usually rely on my desktop clock if it comes to those 2 dates in the year.
Weren't there plans to scratch the whole concept?

Doc surely used his flux capacitor and made those AZ officials change it...
Hey doc...what you'd charge me if you'd do the same here in MA ?
@whs: from my frequent flights back and forth to GE I know your internal clock usually adapts within 2-3 days.
While I personally think Europe to US is easier to handle than US - EU

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten. I won't tell Mae Lyne. Maybe she will be on time for a change! 
Oh man, that makes me feel so good that I'm not the only one with that problem

WTF is this daylight savings crap?
~Lordbob
Something they came up with during WW II to save power (because you gain 1 hr of daylight) It's a flop in my eyes.
Besides it's useless for the whole animal farming community. (Cows don't give a damn about the time..if the utter is full it's milking time

Does Europe have daylight savings time?
They sure do as they tend to import everything from the US (but the actual dates differ by ~ 1 week)
I just hate this time of year when I go to work and it's dark and I get out of work and it's dark.
<--- gets an extra hour sleep tonight. Sorry about your luck folks! 
We've already changed ours last week on Halloween.
With the magic of w7 ... I ain't gotta rememba s#!^ lol
Cool ! Se7en has you all covered
Let me see if I have this Daylight Savings Time thing straight......Sunday morning at 2 AM, I move the clock back to 1 AM. Then when the clock gets to 2 AM, I move it to 1 AM. Then when the clock gets to.................
Dark at 5-5:30pm....bummer.

To all the members of the Forum, dont forget, today, Sunday, you must change the time on your clocks. Daylight savings time is over. I remembered because my computer had the smarts to show the correct time.
Don't help much here!!!! 
Were closing in on 4 hour's of daylight in about 45 days!!
Were closing in on 4 hour's of daylight in about 45 days!! Wow, and I thought we had it bad! I don't like the dark nights and don't see the point of the hour change but compared to your 4 hours we have it made really!
Here we have labeled it Daylight Stealing - for that is indeed the truth at the start.
As an early morning riser I miss out on the daylight at this time.
The only good point I can see for this politician driven time change is the hour retrieved at the end.
Supposedly it was introduced here as a power saving measure - but power used at night now becomes power used in the morning.
No referendum or consultation was held here.[ to the best of my knowledge]

Power savings? I was under the impression that is was started to provide more daylight for sports activities and the like during the warmer months.
To my knowledge of 7th grade history, it's more along the lines of "candle savings". An archaic institution brought about to save money on candles.......who'da thunk it. Ben Franklin (i think)
Seeing how it was instituted during WWII I'm not sure how many households still used candles.
I obviously wasn't born yet but from family pictures I could tell that they already had electric light in my dads house.

It was instituted during WWII as an energy saving measure. I think it was just a "feel good" measure to get politicos in the news and looking like they were actually doings something constructive.
My cellphone, computer, and cable box are all in sync.
I don't like the time change either it really stinks, my sleep pattern is disturbed then I feel sluggish when we fall back and spring forward every year. When it gets darker later it makes it hard for me to see at night.

With regards to disrupting your sleep pattern picture this. You're a pilot about to commence on a 17 hr flight from N. America to Hong Kong direct using what's called a polar route. You depart about 9-10:00am and arrive about 1pm the next day local time. On your way up to the North pole, the sun appears to move in a direction that would coincide with setting below the horizon and night time steadily approaching. Then all of a sudden just before it sets, the sun starts curving in a bowl like motion and starts rising again in the opposite direction as you cross over into North Eastern Russia. 
I had found this years ago, but the webexhibit is still up. Check it out:
