I've thought of an application for a "revolutionary" program for peaceful protest, but one that requires that a substantial number (1000) of people have access to computer time synchronized to 1 second, ideally 0.1 second. How good would a time sync over the net typically be?
Well, in Europe you could just buy a 40$ hardware (DCF-77 receiver) which syncs with the standardized broadcasted atomic clock. you could sync the stations every second with an accuracy of better than 10^-3 secs, like a GPS, only much cheaper. (although, you wouldn't know you geographic location ;-) ----------< fate favors the prepared mind >---------- Remo Pini Fon 1: +41 1 350 28 82 mailto:rp@rpini.com Fon 2: +41 1 465 31 90 http://www.rpini.com/remopini/ Fax: +41 1 350 28 84 --------< words are what reality is made of >--------
