Comment (by nephele):

Well, if it's an hardware problem, should we do something about it? A
 prompt to tell you your CMOS battery is flat maybe?

 I think so, atleast on hardware platforms that don't have CMOS batteries
 oses usually remember the last timestamp of shutdown, and sometimes have a
 timestamp of the build as initial value or so, i think we could do
 something similar, as in store the time on shutdown and if it is further
 in the future than a week or so show an error that the time has changed
 considerably into the past and that the battery may have died (or an os
 fidled with the clock :P)
