For Those Long Coding Sessions: The Food Patch

Posted by timothy on from the ask-your-doctor-if-it's-right-for-you dept.

rtphokie writes "The U.S. Army has created a Transdermal Nutrient Delivery System which works similarly to to nicotine or birth control patches but delivers vitamins and other micronutrients. It was developed to help "warfighters sustain their physical and mental performance" during high intensity conflict. Is this what ./'ers need during those long coding sessions."

    Really not trolling, so mod this off-topic, not troll... just honestly wondering how the parent pronounced '.mil' that it gets prefixed with 'an'. Sorry if it's a typo, or your not a native english speaker... but i've always said 'dot-mil', two syllables... I can imaging just 'mil' or something like that, but it still doesn't make sense. Curious!
