Anniken Geirsdottir Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2011.06.21 20:27:00 - [1] Edited by: Anniken Geirsdottir on 21/06/2011 20:29:55 UTC is GMT Planned ahead though and reset my PI nodes to a 2day cycle, I shall sleep untroubled.
Anniken Geirsdottir Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2011.06.21 20:43:00 - [2] Originally by: Deanna Magus Originally by: sonofahb Might be a stupid question, but what is UTC -> EST?.. tried useing a time-zone calculator, but its only showing GMT.... cant find UTC on anything heh. im eastern time zone. we are 4 hours apart from eve time so thats about 7:30 for us. Except UTC does not take into account daylight savings etc, so GMT is +1 hour on UTC. Until the clocks go back later in the year. And you are wrong GMT has no DST on its own, what you mean is BST (British Summer Time) "GMT is an absolute time reference & doesn't change with the seasons." "During Daylight Saving Time, London Time is GMT+1, also known as British Summer Time (BST)." So despite a little offset (under one second) UTC IS GMT. Period.
Anniken Geirsdottir Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2011.06.21 20:51:00 - [3] Originally by: Trell Kazak Some interesting (or not) facts about UTC. UTC is actually the abbreviation for Co-ordinated Universal Time but the French got all prissy about having to use CUT as the abbreviation - after they lost out before when the last great time standard was GMT - based on a location in the UK. So a compromise we reached where the abbreviation UTC was used instead of the more sensible CUT. UTC and GMT are NOT the same. For applications where sub second time synchronization is not required they can be considered equivalent but because UTC contains leap seconds (sometimes the last minute of a day contains 61 seconds and not 60 to bring it back into line with the mean solar day)GMT and UTC are not exactly the same. As I mentioned above when correcting the fool that thought GMT employs a DST.

Aside from the irrelevant brabbel about the frenchies I mentioned the offset, which is also irrelevant in this thread, as the op just wanted to know the difference (in hours) and not synchronize clocks... Also irrelevant: our discussion. Edit: Originally by: Miles Apart Actually, GMT == UTC. You're thinking of BST (British Summertime), which is GMT+1 You are not the quickest one, eh?

Am I missing something? Serenity (CN) or Singularity? Edit: Originally by: Miles Apart Obviously not. Care to explain yourself? 1st: fullquotes suck. 2nd: read the thread. (mentioned on the first page!)
Anniken Geirsdottir Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2011.06.21 21:15:00 - [6] Originally by: Trell Kazak [...] but referred to the subsecond differences between GMT and UTC and the fact that UTC contains leap seconds - which neither GMT or BST do. As did I, without explanation though. Originally by: Trell Kazak And as for the Frenchy babble - at the time it was quite a big deal (at least to the French) - or we would all be calling it CUT now. They _always_ puff themselves up in matters of standards, that's the only thing they are good at... Besides Baguettes.
Anniken Geirsdottir Caldari School of Applied Knowledge	Posted - 2011.06.21 22:22:00 - [7] Originally by: CEOcat Originally by: Anniken Geirsdottir UTC is GMT No, it is not. UTC in international atomic time with leap seconds. GMT is the mean solar time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. For the sub-second precision we need to determine when the server will be open there is a difference yeah... Another quick one...
