Is there a way to trick the browser into setting the time forward?

Currently taking traffic school online and the next page won't show up until 40 minutes elapsed...is there a way to trick the browser to thinking it's 40 minutes ahead?

Done...after 7.5 hours

Doubt it. There's a few mechanisms it could be checking time through, and at the core the browser uses system time.

Been a little while since I did any coding, but I would think (hope?) the dev of the app in question would use a server side time check rather than client side, so not really feasible in the 40 minutes unless you had a hack prepared ahead of time. I am sure an active web dev will explain it better.

I would assume the website is using a script that checks local time, meaning the time set on the server not the client.

I think you are right. I changed my system time and even went as far as to reboot my system and re-log in and it reset the timer. Oh well.

Just set a timer and do something else for 40 minutes then come back.

It's what I did when I did a online traffic school.

Use a proxy from a different time zone.

Probably server side. I wish there was a way to do it. I could punch out early at work.

you need a flux capacitor

Hhaa. I remember running a screen saver of my regular desktop to make it look like I just stepped away from my desk and using the command prompt to shut down in say 30 minutes.

shutdown -s -f -t 3000

eh you don't want to get locked out of the session if it gets messed up.

Don't drive 41mph in a 40 zone and you won't have that problem next time.

Hah...worse I did a rolling stop

Been doing that. Currently on hour 4.

This. As long as you run 1.21 jiggawatts through it (not gigawatts) and you have the Delorean running at 88mph+ you'll be fine.

it was, is, and always will be gigawatts.
Someone - or a group of people - simply pronounced it wrong.

I think the person you are thinking of is Dr E Brown.

The power required is pronounced in the film as "one point twenty-one jiggawatts."

While the closed-captioning in home video versions spells the word as it appears in the script, jigowatt, the actual spelling matches the standard prefix and the term for power of "one billion watts" : gigawatt.

Though obscure, the "j" sound at the beginning of the SI prefix giga- is still an acceptable pronunciation for "gigawatt."

In the DVD commentary for Back to the Future, Robert Zemeckis stated that he had thought it was pronounced this way because this was how the scientific advisor that he had for the film pronounced it.
