#182410 - occasionally the government ...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
There are however probably just as many cases where this is not the correct thing to do. I've had products that do things based on the clock information and there may be times when the product wants to be used in a way that it executes the algorithm for a different date
occasionally the government hires smart people. When a municipality here in NC (was it Raleigh or Charlotte?) was informed that it had to pay for an upgrade to the traffic signal control system because it had "run out of calendar" some government employee realized that setting the clendar to 1972 made the calendar fit.
