Why you are worrying about revenues of cartels? If you think that selling drugs is legal, then their business is equally legal to business of Apple or Microsoft. Why you are not worrying about revenues of Microsoft or Apple?

NTP can adjust clock by minutes. User can adjust clock by minutes, days, months, or even years.

EDIT: Simple time torture script is added:

  for((I=0; I<100; I++)); do date --utc --set=@$(( `date --utc +%s`+1 )) ; date --utc --set=@$(( `date --utc +%s`-1 )) ; done

Did you ever saw how program crashes when run, but works fine in debugger (or vice versa)? What you will do in such case? What you will do after few such cases?

Why you need 'other side'?

Our Universe has disproportion between (visible) matter and antimatter. Black holes my contain missed anti-matter. So when black hole will consume all matter of our Universe, it will bang again, without help of any parent Universe.

Why you need to look at them manually? Computer will compare all that much faster.

If you are good programmer and bug is non-trivial, you will create code to catch bug much faster than you will catch it manually. Moreover, you will be rewarded next time, because your code will be already written and ready to use.

You shouldn't write anything serious in shell or python, use serious language for serious jobs, please.

(But if you do, use bash-modules, please).
