Who said Time n Tide waits for none

Today in office we had a design issues discussion n few of my team members who r taking care of the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) module had some query with regards to Daylight Saving Start Time parameters….. blah.. blah..Now I was curious what the hell this DST mean.
After a bit googling this is what I got to know :

Daylight Saving is a mechanism of adjusting your local time, prevalent in regions where there is a stark variation in daylight hours in different seasons( North America, Europe n Polar regions ). Usually for summer(at March end), the clock is set ahead by 10 mins to 1 hour n in winter(Oct end) u again sync ur timing with the set World Time. This ensures there is a better utilization of natural sunlight.
In short "make hay while the sun shines" .

There is a universally accepted date n time when the clocks of the particular region r set.
All the watches of the region & in the international community the time for that place is modified accordingly. Most operating system (inc WINDOWS) r DST enabled which automatically takes care of ur system time.

Now i m wondering of the options where we make the tide wait for us???
