plonqOur mainframe is 1 minute fast. "Big deal," you say? That's what I said. We're just built for the future...
Apparently it's bad. Regulatory bodies don't like having us report things a minute before they happen. Causes some of their applications to puke. Gah, real-time reporting is such a pain sometimes - what happened to the old days where you'd just chip it in stone and then hand them a wheelbarrow full of recaps at the end of the day?
I'm told it takes about four hours to change the clocks because they have to literally power down the machines and then boot back up into a special "bios" mode of some kind. Maybe while they're in there they could give the gerbil wheels a little shake and get those wee buggers running a bit faster.
Is it a bad thing when you fail the Turing test?
