By about 3 minutes.
That is all. |
|
The clock on my PC is auto-adjusted to the atomic clock. |
|
|
ya no joke , his maybe 3 off and thinks his shit doesnt stink either |
|
|
Hey! I have a pretty decent watch. |
||
|
what the f*ck ever and what computer is atomic adjusted?? |
||
|
What the fuck are you talking about? |
||
|
I have a utility called Atomic Clock Sync. Dumbass. |
|||
|
ok this has become to become to "nerdish" for me.... atomic clock on you comp ahahahahahah good god........ Edited: still wondering why one would care if its of a few mins...... |
|||
|
+1 according to www.time.gov
|
|
Bye. |

|
+1 according to (202) 762-1401 and my atomic syncing watch. |

Guys, I'm a stickler for correct time as well. Instead of setting my clocks by my local time/temperature number (which is always off 2-3 minutes), I call long distance out-of-state to set them to the exact second by the atomic signal. Call it compulsive/obsessive if you like.
World time-- (303)-499-7111. |

where ya goin'?? also i see after a few edits you finally got it right...lol |

Why are you still posting in this thread? The post above gave the distinct impression that you were going to leave it to those of us "nerds" who for one reason or another care about the correct time. Yes, you looked like an ignoramus, but you can't take that back now. So leave already. |

really?? I bother you that bad??? I must say then that you need to really take a long look at your life in general. Is it really that bad?? because if it is...they do have medications out there that probably could help you. |

Since I'm on dial-up I presume it's a given that's it's off even if I just hit "refresh."

At the tone, the time will be...
00:03:30 fast. AROKIE, the government (US Naval Observatory) keeps an atomic clock. You can access the time for it via the web or you can get some software that syncs your PCs clock to it. Not too important for us peons (or ARFCOM), but it is VERY important for the servers on the internet. |

Did you call my number or M4Madness's number? |
|
|
I hit the USNO. I'm too 'nerdy' to use a phone. |
||
|
It said that was 5-30 seconds off.
|
||||
|
I use the same one that M4Madness posted, 303-499-7111. Like he said, it is essentially direct to the clock. It's a local call for me though. |
||
|
I use the Washington D.C. number, but I think they are the same. |
|||
|
It's about 23 minutes off here, which bugs me every time I see it.

It must be nice. I live in a rural area and my power goes out at least once a week, so I'm calling constantly. I have the number memorized. It's usually just a quick flash off/on, just enough to mess up the clocks. Although it was out over 12 hours just a couple of days ago after a heavy thunderstorm. I just call and reset my digital wristwatch (which loses time pretty quickly) to the world clock then reset all the clocks in the house to it. |
|
|
No clocks on batteries?? Btw, just get one of those atomic clocks, it'll save you some coin on the phone calls. |
||
|
Maybe, but the calendar is 40 days off and the clock is still an hour and three minutes slow.....

|
I call for a riot!!!! It shouldn't be hard to fix though. |
|
|
Its either that or a toga party. toga, toga, toga, Toga, Toga, Toga, TOGA, TOGA, TOGA |

It's not actually off a litle bit, it's frozen. Doesn't work at all.

One of the drawbacks of OCD is that little things like that bug the hell out of you. Now that I've noticed it I check it every time I log on.
Yes, I have too much time on my hands today. 1911fan |
