Having trouble with system date/time in GNU/Linux/Debian:
Time goes too fast for date, time, cron.
The sleep command works fine, file modification times are correct.
The issue explained via commands:
$ date
Mon Sep 12 05:27:46 CEST 2011
$ time sleep 1
real 71m13.403s
user 0m0.008s

pehrs answer could easily be made into statements rather than questions and thus seem more acceptable. I do that all the time. For example, his first sentence "Virtual machine? Is time sync set up against the host? Is your kernel expecting ticks in a different rate from what the host sends?" could be rewritten as "If it's a VM, make sure that time sync is set to look at the host."
Having played with several web servers online, I've seen things such as goDaddy not enabling gzip by default. Same with a few IIS drops, default installs of apache, and so forth.
I keep running across servers that don't have basic things that improve your website speed turned on by default.

@ChrisS Oh definitely. I wasn't suggesting an edit, I was just saying that he had valid ideas but should post them as declarative sentences, and not inquisitive.
:-) @Chopper3 said he was feeling burned out, and after Evan Anderson's avatar change I thought I'd try to cheer him up with a spread of the avatar-meme.
What do you mean so crazy? Just because I stay up late at night and write endless combinations of letters and brackets and drink coffee and scream at my keyboard and pound it to dust as I invoke the names of the elder-gods because I missed a semi-colon somewhere doesn't make me crazy... does it?
@Incognito It's not those things that make programmers crazy. It's that so many of you think server administration involves magyck, defragging hard drives and buying XP Professional instead of XP Home. =P
I'm gonna be honest @Wesley, I don't know what version of XP I run, how many GB of ram or HD I have, what speed the processor is, or what's running on it.
Yes, yes of course it makes sense to delivery your software install as a 14K MSI and two 12,000K Transform files, one for each architecture. Yes, you've made my life simpler. Thanks
Is there any chance you can pin a few binaries outside the cab in the Transform? I'd like to have to sort out which way those end up in the correct directories too... Oh? You did already? Thanks again.
@Incognito probably best to leave Pandora's box shut... System Administrators have to deal with every architectural defect programmers have made, usually for 5 to 10 years after.
As a programmer, we tend to take sysadmins for granted. The few times I've been without a good sysadmin have really made me appreciate what you guys do. When we're venturing into an environment without a sysadmin, what words of wisdom can you offer us?
@ChrisS It's funny because that's almost how I describe people who use software. Users don't have a clue how computers work and assume it's all magic, and if they open the thing up all the magic escapes.
@Incognito if you saw some of the questions we get migrated from SO that should be killed at source you'd wonder if some coders really know how to use a computer
@Iain Oh trust me, we don't. I've programmed x86 assembly and I don't know how to plug in my hard drive without realizing I've disabled my CD-Rom when I boot back up (true story). Nor does it bother me enough to fix it, I'd rather virtually mount an ISO than plug the drive back in.
@voretaq7 The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Jedi weapon. Use it. @Incognito is unarmed. Strike him down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more the cloud's servant!
@WesleyDavid Can't I just make him answer the tech support line for a few days? Isn't that basically 20,000 years in hell, just distilled and concentrated?
@voretaq7Only if it's a school's help desk. Preferrably a Jr High - in a town of between 5 and 10 thousand people - with accents that belong on Hee Haw.
@WesleyDavid My boss just recommended that we check twitter for possible updates about ISP outages. It's like he just gave me the crack pipe and said "It's a magic crack pipe that doesn't run out." You've ruined me, sir.
I can't seem to find a way to run the various Exchange tasks (Establish E-mail Address, Remove Exchange Attributes, Create Mailbox, etc) from Powershell. It seems unlikely to me that Exchange tasks are not possible to automate; does someone have a starting point for me to automate repetetive Exch...
I'd walked by here a number of times but hadn't been far enough away to notice that big sign up there. That's the Blackboard HQ right there across the street from the NPR building. I knew it was around here somewhere, I just hadn't found it yet....
From my experience all Education software is shite. The developers are dinosaurs who never left the early 90s in terms of UI dev and install and management. cough Scholastic cough
@Holocryptic Yeah. The hard part was convincing a certain internal group that the date has to be firm, no slipping the schedule to accommodate some client's urgent project.
@Holocryptic We like being accommodating to our users, it is one of the things that distinguishes us from the rest. That said, I'm going to have to implement a formalized major-change window schedule. Once a quarter, the option of a major 48-hour downtime.
To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't like rolling upgrades so whenever we do a big one we have to bring the whole infrastructure down for a whacking huge amount of time.
Relativity Analytics allows you to speed up review and identify critical documents in a case by searching and organizing document sets. Search results depend on how and where similar ideas and concepts in a document collection intersect. You can leverage Relativity Analytics throughout the review workflow to go faster and work smarter.
As a moderator on ServerFault I run into a lot of the iffy questions. Our users flag them for moderator attention and we deal with them. Some are obviously wrong enough to get dealt with through the normal close-voting process without the mod-hammer being involved. Along the way, we mods do run into some differing opinions on certain nuances of the FAQ. I'll be covering some of the more frequen…

I want to kill myself. I've just seen this posted in an answer just now :'( "1) What role is the server in question fulfilling (PDC, BDC, Member Server etc)"
PDC, BDC.... seriously?!!!!! Dude, welcome to 2011 where those things died out while I was in school.
