US Debt Clock - EEK!

[Oh Shoot]

U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

Most comprehensive one I've ever seen.

Leaves me speechless.

Wonder where they are getting the data?

is there some bank or something that has it publisized?

[Metalhead]

It's fake.

Let it set there a minute and add up a bunch of numbers, then hit "refresh" on your browser. All the totals go back to their starting point.

[Guest canynracer]

You have too much time on your hands Daniel...

Probably your browser relying on it's cache - it's updating even post-refresh here...

My numbers are reverting back to what they were with Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, and Safari.

Also, if you compare these numbers to the ones you'll see if you click on the original link again, you'll see a difference as well...

[Guest Hyaloid]

It's resetting each time for me too...

Just snapped this one for comparison:

[cadillacdude1975]

yup. refresh the page. the numbers start over from the first time the page loaded.

[Guest clsutton21]

Well there's something not accurate about the clock. It speeds up when you watch it, but when you don't...it's slow.

[Guest ScottD]

If you continue to refresh the page, the numbers will update, and then revert to a higher number. It's the way it was written. It doesn't always revert back to the very first number.

You guys are thinking conservatively is the problem. From a democrat's point of view, that is exactly the way the debt calculator SHOULD work. It goes back to a lower number when your not looking at it. So long as the stimulus money flows, everything is kosher. You know the dumbass who looks down the waterhose cause the water stopped coming out, but doesn't see the guys running the pump have ran out of the way of the flipping bulldozer coming down the hill? That's a Democrat.

In Windows, hit the 'prt sc' (print screen) button, the picture is taken of your desktop and saved to your clipboard. Then you can open it in MS Paint or whatever (by pasting).

On a Mac, just hit command+shift+3 and it drops the image file on your desktop.

[TripleDigitRide]

Like this.

Hack Your Wii?

I am too stupid I guess, what or where is this prt scr button?

Your keyboard may differ, but.....

[Mike.357]

Oh well not that important to derail this thread any further.
