Akamai probably has *many* more CDN nodes in the world than the number of gDNS and OpenDNS datacenters together, so just being distributed is not enough.

Yep, it's home-made ... but why do you think it'd be Python?

I think this is/was a common thing with CDMA (or whatever the non-GSM protocol is called exactly) telephones. They get the time from the network and don't/didn't bother storing it anywhere locally.

Another difference is that the stereo wouldn't be even 1% of the price of the car instead of sometimes more than 10%.

Although I'm tempted to say calling it "brute force" would be more accurate. :-)

And maybe that's why almost every e-ticket already states clearly which airplane will be used for every flight?

Even more because this publicity probably burnt all their remaining bridges. :-)

And you seriously think that Google (or any other bigger company) is still using 2-CPU servers?

I have mine for only a week so I may have missed sometihng, but I definitely haven't noticed anything "Debianish" on the phone. Non-GNU libc, very odd userland (it's not GNU nor busybox), etc...

Also, don't forget to set the kernel flag that enables the leap-second code. It's quite likely that this was the cause, and the kernel won't know by itself that it should insert one. See adjtimex(2) for more information.

It's definitely possible that some program couldn't cope with time jumping back. Actually, it may be just as easy to just test this by manually stepping back in time.

Many customized router firmware images (think of OpenWRT and friends) support IPv6. I adapted mine to get that. It sets up a tunnel to SixXS and announces my IPv6 /64 on my LAN. Everything just works.

Not sure if anything out of the box can do this yet, especially the tunneling part.

Yours is also a bit lacking:
