system tray clock

[FishBoy]

i dont know if this is happening to anyone else but i've noticed that my clock pauses for a sec or hafl a sec every 4 seconds

 

[suicide_pact]

you know, i've never really paid attention and timed my clock. does it eventually correct itself, or do you sync to a time server?

 

[Mainframeguy]

maybe you were just looking at the leap seconds?

 

[FishBoy]

well i was trying to make a timer in C and i was checking if my program runs at a normal rate and i couldn't keep a beat of seconds coz every 4 seconds it pauses

 

[xlt1a]

Yeah,I notice it too,but mine is every 4 and sometimes 5 seconds....wierd.

i noticed it before but never thought of it being weird. Also i like your avatar frogg . Is a close call tho. I think we are all civilized people here and shouldnt really care. Now marge and jewelzz might make a guy version tho

If only it were up to me

 

[Mainframeguy]

there's another thread on this exact phenomena (was it a coding issue?) it is recent too....

I wondered about the old leap second - but they are pretty rare...

Bet it does not happen with a Linux clock anyway!

We don't play silly game's,you guy's have a big problem with male flesh in sig's so we don't to it or the complaints come rolling in as they always do

Double standards

 

[Mainframeguy]

Well guys what's the verdict?

may I suggest you don't ask the guys? If you seriously want to know why not post on the December sigs/avatars thread? I do not really have an opinion on this one....

may I suggest you don't ask the guys?

See my post up there ^^^

i googled it and it appears that it's an animation glitch. the actual time is accurate - just the animation is off a little.

it appears in almost all versions of windows.
