Yup. Looking to get green from the greens.
Next, they'll be saying that magic crystals can be found in the area (but the best ones are in the gift shops).

Are Hitler jokes really so bad taste in Germany?
I kind of expected after so many years you could laugh at your past.

Develop some social skills.
Get a life.
And stay on topic.

OK, I'll come back in 20 years ans ask again, perhaps then you will have got over it.

Is the MS Build keynote really at 1:30am DST (daylight savings time)?
That would be like 5:30am UTC, right?
It says it is 17 hours and some minutes from now on the countdown timer on CP front page.
Is that right? Just curious.

The counter shows just under 17 hours for me. If you're seeing 10, I wonder if CP's accidentally mixing absolute and the viewers local times into the calculation somehow. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Arstechnica[^] is showing 1d 2h now too. I think the hamster's gotten back on the wheel here.

I thought that 5:30am UTC (1:30 Daylight Savings Time eastern us) sounded a bit odd.
It looks like everyone is reporting odd times on that timer.
I was just very curious about a key note at that time. Sounded very odd.

The timer changed for me now. It says 1 day 2 hours and some.
It's actually 2 hours from now -- as you've noted and the MS Build site shows that it happens at 8:30am PDT.
Thanks, I was curious about that timing.

The official site[^] says it starts 8 am Wednesday for me. Wired[^] adds that the keynote is at the start. I assume it's 8am PDT or 11 AM EDT, but couldn't immediately confirm it either way.

Just under 12 hours here, so middle of the European night; about 5:30pm PDT.
|
|

The timer changed now.
Now it shows 1 day and 2 hours and some for me.
I think it is actually 2 hours from now according to MS Build site.
Thanks,

It showed 10 hours for me some time ago but has changed now to 1 day, 2.5 hours.
That might be correct for the Thursday keynote.
They should have asked here at QA before on how to implement a count down timer.

Maybe they asked - and that's why QA gone berserk...

Not just QA, the entire site is going loco.
I think the countdown timer is destroying the entire CP site.
It must be destroyed!!
