Clock Question

I don't know about other people, but the GC clock is some twenty minutes ahead of my computer's clock!

I noticed it last night when I received a PM. GC said it was 8:27pm and it was only 8:17pm.

Not a clock, per se. Post times.

The Reason this is, is because the Head of the of this total Web Site is only 4 years Old! He cannot really tell time, but is a Friggen Wizard for doing these kinds of things!

He is a Grad Student at a small College in the NE Area of the Country, (USA), and using this as a study for His Masters Thesis and then His Doctorit Thesis.

While his parents may not agree, His Proffesors condone it and will not tell Him what to do! He is a study under glass! But, as well as I know him, He just sits and giggles at them!

He has tried to reset the clock, but not being able to tell time, it is a dire situation.

So, I suggest, that you just go on and ignore the clock, if you have a timex and realize that there is a split of time Fractionals, then do not worry.

Lag time in the world can be explained by Einstein if you have read him?

Chances are the GreekChat server's clock may not have been synchronized in a long time - it's something that's easily overlooked; there are plenty of programs out there that can automatically query the atomic clock website (http://nist.time.gov/) and keep an accurate time.

For public-domain atomic clock sync programs, go to http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/service/its.htm
