if you use a HTTP viewer to see the response headers, the "Date:" reported is pretty accurate
and that value is direct from the system clock, i imagine the server has a syncroniser set up, as correct time is important in a network environment

so this is something software related, unless the time has been corrected recently

[edit]looking at the timestamp on my post it seems correct as well[/edit]
