UTC does not observe DST, hence Pacific Time being -0700 or -0800 depending what time of year it is. In a perfect world, the US would pull it's head out of it's ass and realise the rationale for Daylight Savings Time died the moment World War II ended and abolish this stupidity already. Daylight Savings Time considered harmful: Every hour that hospital staff, firemean or police officers are on duty reduces thier effectiveness due to fatigue, DST adds an hour to thier work in fall and screws everybody working nights out of pay in spring. It must take next to forever for it to update, I'm rarely able to see updates until after 0000UTC. -- .''`.
