>I seems to remember reading somewhere that Big Ben actually uses NTP to >stay accurate.
Many years ago, there was an article in the back of Scientific American about making a grandfather clock keep great time. Anybody else remember that one? Got a date? I think the pendulum had a small magnet on an arm going through a coil with some circutry to pulse the coil in sync with the correct time. It would gently push/pull on the pendulum to dudge it in the right direction. I wonder what a modern version would use? Obviously, the source of "correct" time would use NTP. How would you push/pull the pendulum? Robot arm to add/remove coins? A puff of air aimed at the pendulum? Vaccuum pump to reduce air pressure and hence drag? Heater to tweak the temperature slightly? -- The suespammers.org mail server is located in California. So are all my other mailboxes.
