BOINC didn't get confused. I didn't either.
Although I can imagine that if you flew from Amsterdam to NYC at midnight last night, you'd be surprised and confused to land there at midnight their time. ;-)

So, got my extra hour. Winter time just started. As far as I can see BOINC didn't get confused, yet.
Yeah. But the better question is did you get confused yet?
Me <3 South Korea. None of this foolish time changing stuff.
Foolishness I agree there is no evidence of any measurable energy savings by switching from daylight saving time and standard time and vice versa.
I think the ancients had a better system on using temporal hours. Just determine each day the time for sun rise and sunset. This marks period of time for daylight and night time. Divide both the daylight time and night time 12 hours. This makes the daylight time 12 hours long and the night time 12 hours long.
If you were living in Rome on the winter solstice your daylight hours would be approx 44 minutes long and your nighttime hours would be 1 hour and fifteen minutes long. (Really makes a 8 hour day short).
For areas in antarctic and arctic where the sun does not shine I think those people should hibernate
Now I am confused....

Me too...You would have to consult the almanac to know how long your hours were.

Ah, but to confuse you even further... did the ancient ancients have a form of time already? If so, what was it? For how can you determine each day what time the sun rises and sets if you don't have a measurement of time?

Yes, yet as he says on Time machine "no time for having fun, time is waiting for no one" and "there's no future in the past, so take it slow - you're getting nowhere fast."
