...which is basically how most computers deal with time synchronization, excepting the minority that actually attempt continuous high precision and accuracy; the computer's clock, not all that accurate a timepiece, drifts off from external standards within the period (hours, days, weeks) between synchronizations, and has to step a few seconds one way or the other to catch up (possibly smoothed out to prevent discontinuities that harm processes in progress); the leap second, if any, is lost in the noise. -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/ _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com https://pairlist6.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
