On linux, I am not guilty! I su whenever I feel like it, athough it sometimes is a pain in the ***. However, on Windows (Administrator account), I am 200% guilty.

You can now do the su command in win2k/XP.
type 'runas /user:administrator "control timedate.cpl"
then type in the admin passwd and it would open up the time/date
you can only change time if you are admin.
