WTF?!?

If you're not watching the live CodeCon stream, you just missed [livejournal.com profile] zooko hack a laptop to pieces with [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] zooko now owes [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] yoctohedron had a support role in both...

The organizer of the conference came running into the room obviously startled and shouted "What the fuck was that?" and the manager of the venue yelled "It was just a Windows box" to which the organizer of the conference responded "Oh. Carry on."

It makes up for the time that Zooko brought his baby instead of his laptop to CodeCon, and his demo was 45 minutes of gcc output...
