So, I sat there and checked the time on my watch to the time on my
computer at work. They both update on the same nuclear clock in
Colorado The methods they use to check are miles apart. One checks
through firewalls and thousands of miles of cables. The other checks
through some spotty radio transmission from the source that is only
receivable next to a window at night, if it is not raining.
I typed in the 'date' command and waited to hit enter as the minute
rolled over on my watch. I figured if they were less than 30 seconds
off I would be greatly pleased. ... They were dead on. Not even a full
second as far as I could tell separates the two time pieces.
Nice.
