Is that like the Parable of the Broken Window?

The linked article is the prologue to a series of seven posts chronicling a week spent using Gnome Classic. See the RECENT ENTRIES sidebar at the top of the page.

Will Beale fold, or see your bid? This is gripping!

I have no idea; it's in the second paragraph of TFA. What's more, this isn't the first prize he's offered: he's just upping this ante to $1M.

This reminds me of the film Minority Report; retinas at-a-distance are quick and convenient in public. One of the concerns about eyeballs and fingers is that if someone wants to impersonate me is to forcibly take them. (xkcd #538 with knives, not wrenches.) Am I safe with brainwaves?

Two crazy hacks?

"Oh, no! My shipment of prize fighting eels! I told you to walk around the front of the car! ...Stop screaming, you baby. It's not like they're poisonous."
