Corrected entry: When the Nite Owl II inserts the Pyramid Transnational floppy disk into Veidt's computer, he inserts it backwards. Surprisingly, it works anyway.

Corrected entry: Dr. Manhattan perceives time simultaneously across past and future yet is subject to Veidt's use of tachyon interference. Yet Dr. Manhattan would still be able to perceive the point at which he is told about the tachyon interference and the reasons for Veidt's plan. So really he would know all along anyway.
Correction: The tachyon interference prevented him from perceiving aspects of time, whether past, present, or future, throughout its entire duration. The tachyon interference continued through the point when Dr. Manhattan learned of it, so he was unaware of it until that moment as was intended by Ozymandias.
Correction: After just having viewed the scene, I can say with certainty that Nite Owl inserts the disk correctly. Not to mention that inserting that type of disk backwards would require a lot of excessive force.
