Midnight Dec 1st is more than 24 hours away.
Tonight is midnight Nov 30th.
Unless you are in the UK right now, then is is Dec. 1st as of right now.

Been December here in France for a few hours already :-)

Guess we'll be starting tonight.  Which is perfect for CST as the GPU will be uploading a juicy WU at that time. 

I don't think it starts tonight. It starts tomorrow Dec 1 at 12 midnight East time 28 hours from now.
It did not say 12.00 AM Dec 1st 4 hours from now.
 
Right?

seems a bit strange to miss the first day of the month tho.
Suggestion to the organisers - should be able to add a countdown clock to the site fairly easily. Might avoid this confusion over which midnight we are starting.

That is a Great Idea.

All loaded up with core15's and ready to rumble.

Oops, sorry for causing mass panic of when it starts.

Got a winter cold air blast tonight. Was a nice 70's degree day. Now it's below freezing and still getting colder.

As for if a power outage should occur, I'll just hookup the generator. I've done it before when tornados took out the power grid to keep on folding. As long as the Internet stays up, I can continue on backup power.

Just signed up for Pacific, hopefully not too late to be accepted. 

Your logic is not coherent.

Interesting, is midnight the end or beginning of the day?
 
12:00 AM implies it is the beginning since AM is in the morning.
We toast New Years on Dec 31st at Midnight, the end of the day. 
 
Here is a WIKI defn:
Midnight marks the beginning and ending of each day in civil time throughout the world. It is the dividing point between one day and another. With 12-hour time notation, authorities recommend avoiding confusion between noon and midnight by using "midnight", "12 midnight", "12 mi", or "12:00 midnight."[1]
In the United States and Canada, digital clocks and computers commonly display 12 a.m. right at midnight. While that phrase may be used practically, it helps to understand that any particular time is actually an instant. The "a.m." shown on clock displays refers to the 12-hour period following the instant of midnight, not to the instant itself, because at that time, you are looking at clocks midnight has already passed and the period before noon (a.m.) of a new day has begun. In other words, 11:59 p.m. shows until midnight; at the instant of midnight, it changes to 12:00. Simultaneously, the p.m. changes to a.m., though, strictly speaking, a.m. does not apply to the instant of midnight which separates p.m. and a.m. In 24-hour time notation, "0:00" and "0:00:00" refer to midnight at the start of a given date. Some styles, such as ISO 8601, allow 24:00 to refer to the end of a day. Noon is 12:00:00.
 

 
 

Foldin, foldin , foldin, let the WU's be golden!

I just woke up to my machine sitting idle. At some point the wireless card decided to loose internet connection and has been sitting for who know's how long because it couldn't upload/download. Hope this isn't a sign of the way things are going to go for me.

I found that too when I was looking but I did find this.
Look at the wording on when the last time you can order this product.

My last thought on this matter.
 
I am just glad I was not the only one not sure.
 
I take it Midnight is the start time to make it easy on the stat collection I take it.
So it must be the way the stat pages are set up I am willing to bet.
To heck with the IRS and USPS
 
But really this is my first time doing this, I guess no one really had to stop folding and start at the starting time anyway. Right?
I just did not want to bunker or do some thing wrong.
I am sorry if I caused any confusion.
 

So have we started yet or not?

Rules, Sign-ups and Prizes seem to be the only pages updated to 2014. What is the scheduled plan for having the rest of the pages up to date?

Core 18 sadness.

Oh well, FOLD ON BROTHERS.

Why sadness? I am at pumping out 700k ppd with three core 18's on the ti's. I wish I could get the 760's up and running.

He's referring to the fact that core 18's are not optimized for Maxwell cards. I get about 1/3 potential points I think. (haven't gotten 1 in a while).
After core 15 to start the contest, I'm on third 9201.

Yep! Them AMD GPU's are the Bomb.
PS Only for Folding that is.

Eh... get folding... you're burning daylight!
