   The problem is that I don't understand what that means to "match up with   
   your credentials" which is why I had asked the question in the first place.   
      
   What are my credentials?   
      
   If those credentials are my time zone, they match because WHATEVER timezone   
   my computer is set to _is_ my timezone (as far as the browser is   
   concerned). Right?   
      
   Do you see why I'm confused?   
      
   How does any browser know that my system timezone isn't my real timezone?
