It's these sort of assumptions which the earlier post is objecting to. If you'd read the linked article, you probably wouldn't have made such a silly post.
For example, Chinese is actually broken into multiple dialects, some of which have different technical requirements, and some of which have serious political baggage associated with them.
Go back and read the article - it's actually quite informative.
I don't know if you had a look at the bash script, but all it does it download and run a python-twisted script from cron - which means all a user has to do is re-run the bash script with the --install option and it'll pull down the new version.

So it wasn't as hard as it looked - he just memorised an 83,431 syllable mnemonic.

It'll take a lot more than 10 minutes when you have to do it to EVERY workstation EVERY day, just because people can't learn the difference between their property and other people's property.
