The time must have messed up Giz as well, because I cant even log in in IE, I had to jump to my laptop and FF to comment.
ps-I screwed up the time on my alarm clock (which wasnt set to go off because its Sunday) and moved the time ahead an hour and not back. I will spend the whole day confused in a time warp. #daylightsavingtime
@Curves: I believe the remedy is a jump to the RIGHT, followed by a step to the LEFT, then taking your hands OFF your hips, opening your knees WIDE, keeping your hips STILL, and then regaining sanity.
I can't be the only one who has small children... for us, the time change meant getting up an hour earlier on the clock. Young kids just don't seem to appreciate the extra hour like I would. #daylightsavingtime
@RedRaider: The farmers complain that the cows dont like it either. AND you have to find a way to keep them up an hour later tonight. They will be tired and cranky. #daylightsavingtime
Don't forget that it's different all over the world (hence why there are more than just 24 different 'settings' for time zones in Windows and Mac). Those of us in Central Asia have been switched for a week. #daylightsavingtime
This lets me experience the 1:00 hour twice. For instance, I was both playing TF2 and writing this comment that mentions it at 1:30 AM. See how talented I am?!
In the Spring, it lets me tell people I'll do things for them at 2:30 AM, but I never have to do it because the time never occurs.
But yeah, it's probably as close to time travel as we mere mortals will ever experience... Revel in the awesomeness! #daylightsavingtime
My extra hour will be spent on the funniest possible way any hour past 1am could be spent: Mystery Science Theater 3000. G'night, all! #daylightsavingtime
What is this witch-craft that you have used to distort the fabric of space-time in this photograph?!? Tell me now where I might conjure such a technology to my own magical glowing box portal of the demonic being, D'ell, so that I too may bend the very nature of time and space to my will. If you do not comply, I will be forced to cast many.... admittedly poorly written spells into this infernal commenting and sharing box of which I current damn you.
You have 1 hour left to comply! OR else... well, or else I will probably be asleep and I will have to check for a comment tomorrow... I guess that's not so bad, but I have a few errands to run tomorrow, and you see I don't want to get hooked online before I get them done, sooo.... i'll probably wait until the afternoon to check, and then there will probably be a lot of comments by then, and I've never really enjoyed looking for old comments. I mean, I know there a few ways to jump directly to old comments, but I've just never been too satisfied with the whole experience. Don't get me wrong, I like the layout of the site and all, it's just not as seamless as I would like it. Still better than a lot of other sites. And for all those who don't like the commenting system here, I mean, come'on... have you see the Engadget site commenting system? It's terrible. I'm all for majority control, but man is that a poorly implemented use of it. When you get down to it both sites have their strengths and weakness, but I would be hard pressed to say that Engadet's commenting system is a strength. Hmm, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, so I will be able to find my comment tomorrow but I would far rather just get a reply tonight, and hopefully play around with distorting some pictures for a bit before I crash for the night. So..... yeah. Happy Day After Halloween Everyone!!

@Rosa Golijan: "there'll be a little notification box that pops up if you have any replies."
It seems to be busted, at least for me. Whenever I click to read the replies the comments fail to load. Also I'm getting notifications about comments I made which no longer seem visible in their respective posts so I am not sure how anyone else is seeing and able to reply to them.. #daylightsavingtime
@Rosa Golijan: FYI I'm having the same issue. When I click on my notification of a response, I get just the article and a notification that comments failed to load. When I click on the title of the actual article, the coments load, but of course I have to find the response manually.
FFox 3.5.4 with more extensions than I care to name...but until last night, everything was 5x5. #daylightsavingtime
@Fractal the Meek: Yes, I just noticed that too. My reply at 2:03 AM to Rosa's 1:44 AM comment now appears before hers at 1:03 AM. Great Scott! This is heavy...
As far as comments go, whenever you visit the main page, there'll be a little notification box that pops up if you have any replies. The links take you right where you need to go. Easy peasy. #daylightsavingtime
@Rosa Golijan: Ah thank you very much Lady Golijan.
I see that very nicely placed reply box now. It seems the problem is that my account will not stay logged into the site for whatever reason if I close the page, and is only visible after I login after posting a comment. It seems to be an issue with either Chrome or the Facebook connect feature. #daylightsavingtime
@Craig Jason McBrenner: If you'd like, you can email me your details (browser/OS/any odd add-ons/extensions) and I can forward that along to tech if necessary. #daylightsavingtime
@omgwtflolbbqbye: It's a either a bug or the ghosts of Gizmodo past eating old comments. Either way, we've got both our tech team and the Ghostbusters working on it. One will succeed. #daylightsavingtime

On an unrelated tangent:
Did the Gawker commenting system just do away with the option to see older comments on a thread?
The "older comments" link is gone for me on Giz, Io9, kotaku, and gawker and when I try to look at an old thread in my history it just won't load...

Lame workaround for older comments is changing settings to oldest first. At least lets you see the first page of oldest comments. #daylightsavingtime
