Does anyone here NOT participate in the daylight savings time-change?

I've always been told that even certain parts of the U.S. doesn't do it, but I never knew if it was true or not. I didn't know if any other countries did it either.

Anyway, because of the time-change (clocks ahead one hour), I've now got to go to bed, or I'm going to be totally exhausted tomorrow.

The entire state of Arizona doesn't time switch.

Also...NO ONE BOTHERED TO TELL ME!
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

Already changed my clocks.

Arizona has bigger problems to worry about. They can't be distracted by a clock change twice a year.

Yes, I like longer days. But the day after the time change isn't longer!!! You just get up earlier. :p
Ok ok. Its longer. But only by like 30 seconds. This is because we are tipping toward the sun. It has nothign to do with daylight savings.

DST is good because it means we use a little less electricity. But hey, it means you lose an hour sleep which you get back later. So meh.

Oh man, I was wondering earlier today when the time change would happen. I thought it was like next week or something. Now it is almost 4 instead of almost 3 :(

How can that be? If we changed the time a week before you, how can you still say you invented it? You came up with the idea a week later!

probably true, but wikipedia isn't the most reliable of sources.


anyway why would people refuse to do it when everyone else in their city is doing it? wouldn't that completly mess up your schedule 24/7?? (I'm referring to the people who are seemingly just not doing it, unless they're just kidding)
