Re: Unparseable date error

> I am not quite understanding how daylight savings time on the computer is an issue. I am US CST with DST and it has never caused me problems. With Weka or Java.

The problem is that certain times will never occur (aka are invalid).
When the clock switches from 2am to 3am, then the range from 2:00 to
2:59 are all invalid times. If your data and your computer are using
the same DST zone, then you're fine. The problem is when you are
processing data from outside your zone. The data may actually be valid
for the zone that it was collected in but in your own one.

Had that problem years ago when failing to import data into MySQL: CSV
data from US imported on NZ MySQL server. Took me forever to figure
out the reason for that... :-)
