Where I work it recently came up that many of our computers disagree on what time it is. Easily solved by a time server adjustment at boot up. Here is the real question: who is the official time keeper of the United States? We heard of many universities, a few observatories, The U.S. Bureau of Standards and me being the only one saying the U.S. Navy. It is pointless in as much as any would far exceed any need we have. But who is the official timekeeper?
Cool, thanks for the information
So for about the kabillionth time in a row, I was close. but wrong. NIST is the authority, and is not a part of or funded by the US Navy. I take small comfort in knowing everyone else was wrong as well.
Touche. I got toasted. It will be quite a test of my integrity to give that information to those who can shove it up my nose.
