Your computer clock maybe wrong......

Mines definatly well out if this is true.

:lol: :lol:

[Mathea]

mine is always wrong

i fix it n then within 24 hours its wrong again so i finally gave up

[bigboab]

Mine is feckin accurate. It synchronizes with one of those atomic chaps.Dont you mean atomic chips. Or is that fission chips.:wacko:

[TheDave]

i think mine synchronises when it reports my porn to microsoft :huh:

yep it does

that a java thing that syncs time for win 2000?

[Tifosi]

It doesn't sync the time, just displays the remote time from the time server and then your own local system time, allowing you to see the difference.

[TheDave]

could be made to sync time though :unsure:

i started teaching myself java then errr stopped :(

yep it does
i broke mine, Windows won't ever have the precision of 10 seconds again :(

Yeah, I suppose it could be modified to sync the time. I've been learning java for about a year and a half now, but they don't teach us much to do with interaction with windows (and I can't be fecked learning :no: )

i wish they taught it in pill form, that would be cool :01:

A FileMoving program I made. It takes about 50-75% of the time windows takes to move the same file (which is quite surprising considering how slow java is in comparison to 'real' languages)

// Tell them they didn't enter a real file

// Move the file (by renaming the path)
// Set the boolean value "fine" to true if the transfer goes OK, otherwise set it to false

double end = System.currentTimeMillis();
// Get current system time (after the move operation)

double timeTaken = (end - start)/1000;
// Calculate how long it took to move the file (division by 1000 gives result in seconds)

{

The only reason that java is slower than 'real' languages is because it has to be interpreted first. If that is a relatively small part of the procedure compared to the actual work done there is no reason why it shouldn't work almost as fast.

Your claim that it is faster than windows doing the same file move is almost certainly wrong. When windows moves a file, it has actually finished moving it when it says it has finished. In contrast the java program hands that task over to windows. Windows will have cached some of the move and allowed the java program to continue. Windows will still be moving the file while your program is waiting for you to "Press any key to continue...".

i think when the clock went forawrd and back it caused a negative time vortex

A JIT compiler goes some way to solving the speed problems related to Java.

In the "real world" Java programs take around about 10 times as long to execute as programs written in C/C++ (when you're not using a JIT compiler).

As for the time taken to move the files, I had suspected that the program would take the same amount of time (or even longer) than windows, however, it always takes less time. I don't think you're correct in saying that the move will not be complete after my program has finished execution, since the file is available to be used as soon as the program has finished execution

Do not use any gator crap!!! Try this: Timesync. Works in any version of Windows NT family (NT, 2000, XP). It runs as a service to sync with a time server at a given interval..

http://img34.exs.cx/img34/120/time.png

Run the installer...

Go to the control panel -> Click TimeSync icon.
Click the "Use new SNTP" button and add:

time.windows.com
time.nist.gov

If it is not already there. :)

Damn, I thought I was in software world !!!..
