Comment Re:OT: Anyone notice time.gov off this morning (Score 1) 201
OK, I must live in a different universe. At 4:14 am DST I logged in to time.gov and got the official Daylight Savings Time for the eastern time zone. My computer said it was 3:14 am. I went to the START menu, clicked on RUN, typed in CMD, and when the good old DOS underbelly of Win2K showed up, I typed "time." The time showed 3:14 and seconds. I typed in 4:14 and closed everything out. My computer then read 4:14 and has been correct all day.
Then I used Active Sync with my PDA to update the time. The PDA, of course, didn't agree with the computer. Active Sync would not work. I took it out of the cradle and changed the time by hand. With a minute or two difference, Active Sync had no problem.
Then when I woke up, I checked my cell phone timer against the computer and the PDA. The cell phone had automagically update to the correct time.
This afternoon, for the horror of it, I spent poking around GoDaddy, to catch up on the RegisterFly stuff. The GoDaddy site worked all the time. The only internet problem I had came a little earlier for about a minute's hang-up. I was using Mozilla Firefox for a Google search.
In my universe, time.gov worked correctly; GoDaddy, the pornsite of domain registration, was not down; no special programs or patches were necessary to update the time on my equipment.
