...sidestep this problem, most computers use the Internet to sync with an external server. (Both Microsoft and Apple operate external time servers synced to the atomic clocks carrying the official U.S. time.) But if a computer doesn't have an active Internet connection, or if time-synching is somehow turned off, a computer's clock can run askew. In addition, there's often a short but significant lag that occurs when a computer queries a distant time server, which is mainly a problem on company computers.

...even if "crippling sanctions" were somehow imposed, Tehran still might not back down. "If it were possible to choke off the gasoline supply into Iran, the likelihood is that Iran's existing refinery capacity would be used first and foremost to ensure that the needs of the security forces and the regime are taken care of," says Dr. Gary Sick, a Columbia University professor and former National Security Council Iran specialist.
