It’s New Years Day and what a better time to talk about time (pun intended). Did you know that most newer computers set their time automatically via the internet? Both Windows and Mac have a built in feature that communicates directly with NIST, the “National Institute of Standards and Technology”
A little more info…
Most servers and workstations (in other words not your personal computer used at home) uses a system “protocol” known as the “Network Time Protocol (RFC-1305)”. This protocol is the most widely used and performs best. It’s very smart, so smart in fact that it ignores wrong time that is sent from other servers.
Your home or personal computer uses another version of the NTP software client and doesn’t conduct any “averaging” on its own. Rather it makes a signal request for your computer to set the clock. This client is formally known as the SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol).
So if you ever notice that the time is incorrect on your computer it’s possible that your clock simply needs to be reset to match NIST time. Each version of Windows and Mac has a slightly different process to do this. Our helpful techs here at UrbanComputerRepair.com can help you with this wink wink 
For you technical folks I’m providing the url directly to the NIST website. They provide more technical information on the subject, more that you could ever hope for! Look on the right side of the page “Software and Instructions”. http://tf.nist.gov/service/its.htm

Not too sure how I ran across this blog but glad I did discover it. Think I was searching for something else on the search engines. Not certain I agree 100% with what you say, but have bookmaked and will pop back to go through to see if you add any a lot more posts. Continue the great work.
I love your website! did you create this yourself or did you outsource it? Im looking for a blog design thats similar so thats the only reason I’m asking. Either way keep up the nice work I was impressed with your content really..
I’m running Linux Mint 5 which is a modified Ubuntu right now and that takes far less than a minute to boot up and open an app. That’s right from pressing the power button to reading my email. Try that with Vista
Good luck with the machine hope you enjoy it, I love mine
