Try the Christian Science Monitor. They seem to be the least biased.


Excreta that "Christian Scientist" is an oxymoron.

So much for spell checkers fixing typos and my not noticing the
replacement :-(

Make that...

_Except_ that "Christian Scientist" is an oxymoron.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

The first option is still pretty much correct too.

From the original:

I was wanting to design a clock that updated by both

-the atomic clock radio signal
-cell phone towers
<<<

By atomic, the OP no doubt meant Rubidium or Cesium controlled
oscillator references. There are some other possibilities but they are
less likely. By radio, maybe WWV. The cell phone towers are ultimately
usually derived from one of the above two options (now most likely
provided from government references flying in GPS satellites). OP should
find a way to get GPS time accuracy from eBay if they really care. It's
never been easier for us to know what time it is.

The message subject was perfectly clear to me. Where have you been? It
is a real-world phrase (except maybe for the ...ly.) Should not tweak
engineering types into frog-??? references.

Hey, I liked it! Makes it sort of more descriptive or something.
