Pendulum Clock with Atomic Precision

u19925 writes "Now you can get atomic clock precision out of your grandma pendulum clocks. Here is how it works: There is a camcorder fitted inside the clock which monitors the pendulum swing. It has an atomic clock signal receiver. It compares the pendulum swings with the atomic signal hearbeat. The camcorder also has an arm. If the pendulum clock drifts, then it uses its arm to push or pull the pendulum to make correction." It's not an April Fool's joke, but it is rather impractical.

    Slashdot accuracy can now be gotten to 100% by comparing each article to major news sites' articles, and changing them accordingly. (Best accomplished by changing the dns entry for slashdot.org to this)

    umm, I don't think it was the editors that wrote the post. They just posted it. I believe it has always been there policy to not change the original content of the person who submitted. Of course, a link where they posted there comment would have been nice.

    Clearly this is proof that Editors don't click the linked pages before posting regularly like the should...

    This is also proof that after posting it, they don't preview what they just did.

    And the third thing is that after it's been seen already by thousands, they still haven't fixed it.

    Oh well, at least that april fool's REAL whitespace language article was good :)

    Slash has a "Preview" feature for posting stories too... any cockgoblin "editor" should do this. But I guess that's too much work... you know, reading the submission.

    How the hell it is redundant if it's the first post stating it? The post may be obvious, but it sure is not redundant. And, lazy as I am, I want a clickable link and he provided me. If you don't know how to moderate, leave your mod points alone. And if you agree with me, meta mod constantly.
