WTF?!?

If you're not watching the live CodeCon stream, you just missed zooko hack a laptop to pieces with yoctohedron's axe.

Yes, really. It was a little bit hard to tell exactly what happened in the 320x240 window, and the sound was off, but apparently zooko now owes yoctohedron a new axe.

I think this might actually beat out "isolating DNA with common household items" as most surprising CodeCon demo ever. I note also that yoctohedron had a support role in both...

interesting demo with an axe. The axe fails and is not redundant, but the failure mode is a graceful degradation, as the handle may still be used for destruction using the same api. The data was recoverable.

some of the laptop parts escaped the stage. But it's safer than plastic explosive, i guess...
