    Note your posting time and assuming the TZ is correct...

    No -- it is "constrained" because it has reached the *UTC date* (not
    time as initially reported) when it is programmed to switch from
    "spread like crazy" mode to "DoS one of the IPs that was part of
    www.whitehouse.gov" mode. In about ten days it will flick back to
    the "spread like crazy" mode.
