  The Moving Finger
Cats are good at many things, but they have never had the right fingers or toes — nor indeed enough of them — to be able to write history.
Happily, it now seems that a small group of feline revisionist historians are attempting to correct this injustice by working on a better configuration of fingers and toes that will enable them to produce their own, correct version of their remarkable past.
Bugsy may not be able to claim a galactic record, but we counted 26 toes, which still puts him in the front rank, and will enable him, if he can get all his fingers working properly, to write a history of feline exaggeration and hyperbole.

The first is how the accusatory letters point blame from one town member to another, the second is from the addressing of the letter, which the Scotland Yard agent determines the envelopes were all "typed by someone using one finger" in order to avoid a recognizable 'touch.'

 The Moving Finger Writes-1
Helplessly, pathetically, Gabrielle's fingers waved in the air as she sought her mother, her attention drawn downward by the rough, pale wood of the coffin.
Yet it was only after she herself had died that she grew to be moved by the living, watching as individual examples of mankind, now met while wandering the earth in her exile, demonstrated a spirit that she knew she had never found in her studies of the body that was left behind.
Like the spirit of this man who, even asleep, possessed a burning dynamism that she had come to regard as more marvelous than anything else; it was the vital essence of a man that fascinated her now, and the vibrant tension it maintained with his existence, but she couldn't dissect any of it.

 Al-Huda International: Moving finger in tashahhud???   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
It is Sunnah to point with the forefinger and move it during the Tashahhud, because of the report narrated by Ahmad (18890) and al-Nasaa’i from Waa’il ibn Hajar who said: I said, I will watch how the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prays.
Then he made a circle with two of his fingers, then he raised his finger and I saw him moving it and making du’aa’ with it.” This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i.
It is proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to point with his index finger and move it during the tashahhud when praying.

 The Formalization of Hegel's Dialectical Logic
It is hence impossible to “move backwards” through time in this analysis for this would involve an eradication of memory, an event not capable of appearing within the memory structure.
As a whole, we have a state of Being or equilibrium since B moves into itself in BNNB, but only by virtue of a self-negating activity in which every component part is in a state of becoming or anti-becoming.
As with the notion of the conservation of momentum, the system as a whole is in equilibrium, but each of the component elements are subject to change and becoming, such that every positive change is off-set by a negative change.

 » The moving finger | Between the Lines | ZDNet.com
The University of Buffalo’s VR lab has developed a cap for your index finger that is exquisitely sensitive to movement–to the point that it can actually be used as a 3D digitizer.
It has an accelerometer, a force sensor, and a motion tracker, and its developers believe it’ll hit the market in three years, which is admirably conservative–usually researchers predict (and it’s always hubris) that they’re only one year away from their first Ferrari.
I regard this as creeping wearable-ism and a Good Thing.) If you wanted more input bandwidth, you could put caps on several fingers and communicate using some variation of American Sign Language (Thad Starner at Georgia Tech has shown that this is feasible.

In addition to the delights one gleams from Christie's deft, skillful plotting, incisive wit, and rich characterizations, the true strength of "The Moving Finger" is Christie's examination of evil underneath the pristine surface.
Published in 1942, THE MOVING FINGER is among the lesser-known Christie novels--and a great pity that is! For it is quite simply among Christie's most thematically intriguing works.
In terms of plot, THE MOVING FINGER is one of Christie's more unexpected concepts, and she carries it extremely well, building a sense of mounting paranoia in a most plausible manner and offering a truly memorable series of double-twists.
