"once upon a time there was no online data stored separately from a program's data in the computer's dynamic memory, which, of course, disappeared as soon as the application stopped running. "
I was told a story buy a now long retired colleague which was about how when working for ICL in the sixties, he sold a second hand magnetic drum storage unit to a firm in Australia. The thing was crated up and shipped via steam-ship around the horn and was duly plugged in in Sydney 8 weeks later. When they fired it up, it still had the last program that was run on it, er, on it. If you get my drift.

I've not read all the comments, 186 at the time of writing, so someone may already have mentioned this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/the-lay-scientist/2010/sep/24/1

Why? Is it made of balsa?

in FF3.6 runs in 21.11 secs and fails 8 tests. Chrome runs in 2.18 on my setup and fails 5. So not perfect but waaaay quicker...

You flagged it with a joke icon, but this is exactly what the romans did.
"How the Romans Measured Time
One measured time in ancient days by the length of daylight. As the earth makes its way around the sun, the number of daylight hours change. For the Romans who divided the day into equal parts of daytime and nighttime, the length of those parts varied with the amount of light. Unlike our hour of a constant 60 minutes, the Roman hour could be anywhere from 40 minutes to 80 minutes. Consider Alaska where one can easily experience darkness for 22 hours with daylight of 2 hours. The Romans would have calculated the day then at one of twelve 10 minutes hours and the night of twelve 110 minute hours. The Romans never experienced such extremes of course but this example serves to clarify the idea of the division of hours or watches.
Time was measured with sundials, waterclocks and sand glasses."
