Worse than spam...

What is worse than spam?
Having a spammer out there in the world who got his PC infected with a virus. So everyone on his/her/its spam list gets a copy of a stupid Windows virus.
Another reason to have a Mac.

BootCamp and Time Redux
July 09, 2006 08:56 PM Filed in: Apple
So my previous entry about time and Apple BootCamp
needs an update - the fix is not 100% complete. It
actually has nothing to do with the fact that it's on
a MacBook, it seems to just be Windows as I've
discovered the same issue on my AMD64 laptop which
has the same hack.
Apparently, something comes along in Windows every so often and makes Windows forget about RealTimeIsUniversal....I suspect it's the screen saver or something related to the screen saver.
When you boot, everything is fine, but some amount of time thereafter, you can look down and see that your time is off by exactly the number of hours between GMT and your timezone. If you reboot Windows, it's fine again, until whatever messes things up messes it up again...
Back to the drawing board....
