The cool thing about all this is that I DO have a local copy of e=mc^2, courtesy of the W3C. It's e=m(cx)! Michael A.

What if ... you were able to value Government work the same way it's done in the Commercial world ? I tried to bait the Mate (see below), but I guess he doesn't get it. Anyway, I'd like to know what you think: Imagine that a "day" is a 50 meter pool and you have daily 35 meter races, and once every four years the Gregorian Calendar Nazi's come along and add a meter (leap meter) to the pool length. No big deal really, you only ever use 35 meters, maybe 37 some days, meh. In other words what if the day was a little squishy ... both a sun dial and a watch are machines which measure twice distance then tell you average. What happens is ditl-UTC2.pdf (attached). Also the other pdf. You know what an Annuity (house mortgage, etc). There is also a thing called Perpetuity (a steady growth). Days are a Perpetuity (use this one, get another tomorrow). Annuities are summed at infinity so they don't match "simple interest". The squishy seconds idea gives you the hard numbers to calculate simple interest. To make a long story short, accountants are religious people who are praying that the end of the world is not a leap year or that it ends before Feb. 29th. The there are lots of other really cool stuff. It's as if you had a local copy of E=mc^2 (actually it's E= m(f+g)^-4). If Governments get it, I think it will be huge. What do you think ? --Gannon --- On Wed, 1/26/11, Gannon Dick <gannon_dick@yahoo.com> wrote: > From: Gannon Dick <gannon_dick@yahoo.com> > Subject: Re: Education and Web Development > To: "public-egov-ig@w3.org" <public-egov-ig@w3.org> > Date: Wednesday, January 26, 2011, 4:32 PM > > --- On Wed, 1/26/11, Chris Beer <chris@e-beer.net.au> > wrote: > > > Kind of sad that we couldn't instantly pass on contact for > all major jurisdictions/countries :( > > ==================== > Cheer up Mate, sunshine and the Calender (Leap Years) does > it for you.
