True Tales of Hands-on Hacks

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the necessity's-a-mother dept.

PCM2 writes "InfoWorld is running a fun special report offering true tales of "enterprise hacks" -- real-world folks and how they solved IT problems in unorthodox ways. Can you beat the story about the tech who hacked a USB switch with a timer to bridge two air-gapped networks? Or the one who used Wi-Fi to track a missing tool cart? What's your proudest hack?" It's in PDF, but freely downloadable.

    Well aren't you just the "Well aren't you" type of character who continuiously tries to justify their existance by thinking they're actually doing something useful by repling to users with the communities' well-used labels like "Slashdot karma whore".

    Come on. The topic is about your hack. He told you his hack and then added his bit. What the funk is wrong with that?

    Spare us please or give us your hack.
