Not really a problem, I'm just amazed how exact your server clock can calculate other time zones:
quote:
Server Time: 04:13:17
Your Local Time: 12:13:13

At the same time, my computer clock said it was 12:14:03. So where does that "local time" come from?

Server time is simply that: the server time.
Your local time is generated by javascript and mine is accurate to the second because it is just getting the time from your clock. Do you use Internet Explorer?

Obviously the multiple SFN clocks are so sensitive, they respond to minute changes in relativistic velocities.

Or something.

Actually, they may responding to gravitational redshift. Clocks in San Francisco run slightly slower than identical clocks in Boulder Colorado.
