And I call your attention to the fact that (1) I wrote an email to Eternal September suggesting there was a daylight time problem, and (2) I did no changes to this computer between last night and now. Thus, to the folks who doubted me and took your textbook theory and threw it at me, you might re-examine what you post and not make yourselves look so foolish in the future.

It's good that you have not got angry, especially as I understood a little of your background before you started this thread. Did you speak to Ray Banana about the possible server fault at E-S causing your clock error? -- Dave

It *does* have filtering capability, but the designers knew that malware with admin (or better) privileges could easily circumvent them. Before I worried about malware shutting off the firewall, I would worry about them running malware with admin rights.

My clock was and is correct. Second, I didn't speak to anyone at ES. I simply emailed them on their form. So, they probably jostled something with their foot and everything is fine now. |
