  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+79Yes, for making my headache worse.
  • Jo9100, on 10/12/2007, -4/+52youre on digg, man
  • GawtMilk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+52Useful..?
  • dirtyhipster, on 10/25/2007, -3/+41Whos messin with my dots?
  • ShamsTron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37That oddly reminds me of looking for bad sectors on my hard drive on Windows 95. Am I just crazy or does someone else think this too?
  • Cultist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37It's like watching my hard drive defrag.
  • sonaro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37Not the kind of thing you want to look at during work.
  • archlich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+30I want one that fills in dots remaining until: http://www.deathclock.com/ That'd be useful, well, mildly entertaining.
  • homercaholic18, on 10/25/2007, -2/+29You messin with my dots?
  • hambend, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26Yeah, each small square should be 6x10, which should be blocked into 6x10 squares for each hour, blocked into two 3x4 squares for AM/PM. Then it would actually be readable.
  • Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24MORE DOTS!
  • Rice, on 10/12/2007, -11/+30Wow, this is really stupid!

    No, really, what the hell?
  • NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21MORE DOTS MORE DOTS
  • oepapel, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19He could have organized it into a grid of 60 x 60 where each grid point has 24 dots arranged like this:

    * * * * * *
    * * * * * *
    * * * * * *
    * * * * * *

    Then he could turn on a dot in each grid block sequentially so that you could read the time directly from the picture.
  • HunterTV, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17"You are not your job, you are not your bank account. Your life is ending one dot at a time."

    I also remember originally submitting this about 2 years ago but digg deleted my account and all my submissions were erased.

  • jtbandes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11They should have it do random dots instead of in order.

  • memoBug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Dot-a-second clock? That's about as exciting as defragging my hard drive.
  • GamerzCorner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@archlich

    I almost want to keep it opened just to see if it is right...
    That would be a bit scary watching it count down the last few sec.
    3....2....1....
  • controltheweb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It does break the illusion of how much time there is in a day. It seems the older you get, the faster time goes, and some people think it's just that you become more and more aware of how much time there REALLY is, that when you're younger you overestimate how much time is actually available to complete things.

    So watching this automatically ages you!
