<andlabs> exactly what it says in the tweet
<andlabs> although wikipedia says it's much more complicated
<andlabs> the second half of that tweet is a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter
<cr1901_modern> Yea I get the Mars Climate Orbiter part, but who the hell counts time in units of 10s of seconds?

<sorear> probably the same kind of people who think 1/60 or 1/100 of a second are reasonable units
<sorear> or my personal favorite, units of 1/18.2 second

<cr1901_modern> 1/18.2 is a very reasonable unit of time
<cr1901_modern> as is (colorburst * (4/3)/ 0x1234DD)
<cr1901_modern> hmm wait, that number is wrong I think
<cr1901_modern> (DRAM refresh frequency on IBM PC)
<cr1901_modern> I misremembered. 0x1234DD is the frequency of the IBM PC timer: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-45553.html
