[ltp] Clock losing time

[Vincent -LKV-]

I know this type of solution was already mentioned in this thread, but wh=
at
I've done is use a program called "Dimension 4" which will access one of =
many
reliable atomic clock time servers and synchronize your computer's clock
accordingly.  =


What I like even more about this little program is a feature that basical=
ly
lets a user close the program after it synchronizes once.  If people need=

unwavering atomic clock accuracy, you can always sync up every 15 minutes=
 or
at an interval of choosing.
