what time is it???
 

Ok.. ever since the govt screwed up daylights savings all of my forums times and my gmail account have been screwy... I know the east coast is -4 hours GMT... however.. I put that on all of my forums and gmail and it still gives the wrong time... wtf?

its rather annoying!


according to time.gov I posted this at 1:03 am... and my forum time is saying 2:03 am with auto DST detection... so I put my time zone to -5 gmt to compensate...


time sucks

O.K. I'll fall into your (?)
 

Is Davenport by any chance usually on Central time?

It's 1:10 here and The clock at the right bottom of the screen agrees.

Daylight Savings Time (U.S. East coast[in Winter Months]) - 4hrs = UTC/GMT
(We aren't supposed to use GMT as a descriptive anymore,It was too British,
Colonial and not PC)

So I have no Idea WTF is going on with the forum or U.S.Government

My home laptop is messed up and it contiunously updates to the wrong time no matter which government source it uses to reference the correct time or which settings I put it on...

I know you are setting your LT's time by going to:
control panel...regional and language options...(the tab)regional options...
TIME (is the third option down,you can reset it )...click APPLY...click OK

What are you using for anti-virus,anti-spyware and (anti) rootkit ?
'Reason I ask this,if your LT is GHOSTING for some other agency;It
might reset time zone incorrectly.

Antivirus: AVG [FREE] (from Grisoft)
Anti-spyware: AVG Anti-Spyware [FREE] (also Grisoft)
Anti-rootkit: AVG Anti-rootkit [FREE] (Grisoft again)
Anti-Spyware: SPYBOT SEARCH and DESTROY [FREE] ('Must have this one!)
Anti-Ad Ware: Ad Aware [FREE] (from Lavasoft)

The "Battleground" is also running Norton's Internet Security.

A lot of this stuff scrabbles over the least little infection,so it can tell you
about how well it does it's job, as compared to it's competitors.
