Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The place that sells them has a whole bunch of cool, geeky watches: [link]

Anyone know what the current Yen to Dollars exchange rate is?

Anyone know what the current Yen to Dollars exchange rate is?

About $117 to 1 yen according to yahoo.

You mean $1.17 per yen, right? And when that site says a watch is ¥21900, they mean ¥219.00, right?

Or else all those watches are about two million dollars apiece.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

More like ¥117 to $1

OK, that makes sense.

eta: for some reason I thought a yen and a dollar were roughly in the same ballpark....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do you call an object type definition of which you never intend to have an instance, but rather have created for inheritance purposes?

I've often referred to them as abstract classes.
