If a user has their clock set to a timezone offset several hours different from where they are, their locale set to a location several hours different in the other direction, and is accessing the Internet through a proxy server on the other side of the world from their location, you can't show them an accurate time. And as the complaint was not that the clock was inaccurate, but rather that it could be inaccurate due to relying on the system time, you're back at square one.
The problem of accurate time still exists, you'd need to do something similar to ntp which uses system time to compute rtt to the server. Then you could compute the offset from the server time and use the system clock to provide ticks.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
