I wish you would stop posting this crap:
1. My clocks were set correctly, and I know how to set the clocks.
2. I never said the problem was a defect with CUPS. I just saw the
problem with CUPS browsing. -
3. If you have never seen a UTC setting choice with time zone setting
you have not been watching the screens you get when you install a Fedora
16 disk. Run system-config-date and choose the time zone option and you
will see it.

But most of all go away attacking someone else secure behind your email
no-reply screen.
