countdown

It could of course start sending a countdown to your email a month before going off.

It demonstrates that even something simple like a tweet box (textarea, character countdown, a couple of buttons) benefits from the React methodology.

Back about 200 000 000 seconds ago, I had the joy of attending a 'billenium' party -- complete with countdown clock.

I mean, they know when they'll have a surge in customers (there's a freakin countdown clock to the purchase time) and yet they still can't set up something more elastic that actually allows me to load the page?

-- In my embedded systems class in undergrad we made a 'movie-prop bomb', had a countdown timer, monitored wires, display, etc.

I honestly think I probably could have done the vast majority of it without any studying, but spending time practicing solving problems on paper (with a countdown-timer as an artificial pressure-inducing device) certainly did help me, I think, in the on-site.

One wonders if the 1/1/2010 countdown on "Feeling Lucky" is related to this launch.

There's a MacGyver episode from 1986 ("Countdown") that involved a bomb extortion plot that was, in retrospect, almost certainly inspired by this event.

I'm in the middle of reading "Countdown to Zero Day", the book about Stuxnet.

To this day, I still can't hear a countdown without wondering what numbers will be skipped, and of course, I expect "3, 2, 1" to only take up about a second and a half.
