Is it just me, or is the system time displayed at the bottom of this forum falling behind? When I first joined, it was correct. A few days later, it was a couple minutes behind, and now it's aprrox. 21 minutes slow.

No, because my computer time is the same as both my cell phone time and my company phone time (both of which are automatically updated to remain correct).

It is the right time for me. The time is only correct when you first load the page. If you use your back button to go back to that page, it doesn't reload and the time will be off.

You're not using TimeSink to keep your computer time updated, are you?

No, should I be?

It's probably me using my back button.

TimeSink is spyware. What do you use?

Nothing. I said my cell phone and company phone are automatically updated, and my computer currently shows the same time as both of those.

OK, I misread it.

That's cool. I should probably get something to update my system time anyway.

Just remember, nothing is truly free. Programs like TimeSink sound cool, but why would anybody really need it? How often do you have to have to update your system time? Even if you find a program that does nothing but update your time, it will still need to use some "system resources" and slow your system down. Most programs like TimeSink are spyware. They monitor your computer usage and report it to some demographics team, every time it updates your clock. Spyware bastards (along with spammers) should be lined up and shot.

Yeah, I agree. I couldn't find anything that looked good anyway.
