Suddenly, Iām not so disappointed that Yale passed me up.
huh. Itās pretty close for meāabotu 15 minutes off.
Let it not be said that I donāt admit when Iām wrong. It would appear that the server clock is, in fact, slow by about 75 minutes. I posted my first reply around 9:20 pm CDT, but the server says I posted it at 8:09 pm (per my GMT -6 profile setting). So Joseās complaint, alone isnāt enough to boost my Yale-acceptance-letter-less ego. His piss poor issue presentation, however, is.
The server shows that Jose posted at āWed May 04, 2005 7:47 pmā. This is adjusted to my time zone setting (GMT -6), so that if Jose is in the Eastern time zone, he posted at 8:47 pm. But then he says that he has his profile set to GMT -3.5, which means, based on the aforementioned time stamps, that the server time would show, to him, as beingā¦ 10:17 pm. Which it does, within 2 minutes. Why he has his profile set to Newfoundland Standard Time is a question left for more ivied minds than mine.
What Jose failed to do was provide any external frame of reference (i.e. āā¦but my watch says xx:xx a/pmā) to help anyone figure out the issue, especially since the issue is the server clock is slow, if it were fast, the posts from the future would be a dead giveaway. So like the proverbial engineer, Jose gives us technically correct information, but it is little use trying to solve the issue.
Anywayā¦ my bad, youāre right, there is a problem with the time settings.
Here in GMT -7 itās 9:31
Which, like I said orginally, is about 15 minutes off. What happend to the other 60 minutes in SK post?
I ate a bug.
Poor guy. Have a nice glass of water to go with your bug? :)
The horror. The horror. The horror.

Itās way off for me. Itās like this server is a day slow.
The Pacific Coast of North America is GMT-8.
Elhajj lives in utah and commutes to the MS campus everyday.

My watch says 4:06. This is set to GMT -5 for Eastern time.
Squirrel Monkey, envy is a bitch. Reading your posts it isnāt difficult to see why you were passed up. Bitterness is ugly. At the end of the day (or four years) I will have an Ivy League degree and you wonāt. Now watch all the OMG ELITIST ASSHOLE posts begin. I didnāt start it.
Going out of your way to prove your superior intelligence and communication skills only shows your inferiority complex. :)
Ha ha, totally.

Well that clears that up. :) Thanks BD
You laugh, but the time of the Q23 server is right for where I am calling from. :)
Yeah, qt3 says 8:50am, I say 10:07am.
