Because the electronics in each are not 100% exactly the same so you get some differences in timing. Even two identical machines will have different values, hence the need for NTP.

/etc/adjtime from my 10.2 server:
0.000101 1204753900 0.000000
1204753900
LOCAL
/etc/adjtime from the Factory box I was using today:
0.000234 1210343800 0.000000
1210343800
LOCAL

time. Why are they different?
