Possible late addition - a RTC feature using a 32bit counter that is clocked at 1 sec.

hatallica,

I have been convinced that P2 should have an embedded RTC - relative time clock - that maintains Federation time regardless of speed.

Cool, now the P2 will have built in accelerometers and gyros so it can make the time dilation adjustments.

But will it handle temporal displacements?

2038 dread? I will be 89 years old and unconcerned. And my bank's credit card division claims there is no future after 90-days. What me worry? By then, all I want is a good bedpan and a nice pretty nurse.

I married a younger pretty nurse, just in case you guys tried to snag them all just before UTC expired.

Thinking about what will happen 23 years into the future ... wow. Looking back 23 years ago, the fad was massively paralleled processing at 150MHz. What a crazy world that was.

By my calculations a 64 bit "seconds since big bang counter" should just about see us through to the Prop II release date.

Hey, could you explain what your sig is about?

I picked it out from http://yro.slashdot.org/story/15/11/23/1530232/new-ibm-tech-lets-apps-authenticate-you-without-personal-data

Is that also where you found the reference to the wolf population expanding after a disaster?

Ya, Slashdot is about the only place I check for any news.
