Signs Of The Times

To set the time on a machine, we may use the 'date' command:
```
date 0822004705
```
This has set the time to august (08) 22nd, 47 minutes past midnight (0047), on the year 2005 (05).
When we shut-down/reboot the machine, the OS scripts are likely to synchronize this new time to the hardware block, so it'll take effect during the next reboot.
NOTE: of-course, we must be 'root' in order to change the local time.
