During the highly-infectious SARS period in 2003, several countries in East Asia were in a state of emergency. N95-rated respirator masks were in extreme short supply.
One bra-manufacturing factory in Taiwan quickly modified its process and churned out masks instead - using the cup and straps as its basic design.
It was a godsend among the Taiwanese who were greatly desperate for protection against the deadly virus, which spreads via tiny droplets of saliva sneezed/coughed into the air.
I've RTFA'ed. The article is nothing more than a thought experiment. He stated very clearly several times in the article that he does not recommend this.
From the last paragraph:
I won’t be doing this on my network, because I prefer to keep the default security in place... I’m a total advocate of the layered-onion approach to security within a company...
The Slashdot summary has given us a wrong impression of the article's intention. It's nothing more than a thought experiment.
2) Being verifiably honest is a competitive advantage.
Question 1: My hard disk can sustain between 30MB/sec to 80MB/sec sequential transfer, while my competitor's can sustain up to 286MB/sec. Which will you buy?
Question 2: My laser printer can sustain 1.5 ppm, while my competitor's up to 10 ppm. Which to recommend?

Hint 1: 286MB/sec is the upper limit for SATA 2.
Hint 2: "My" measurements are inclusive of "cooling breaks between prints" during high volume prints, and includes a medium-resolution graphic (30MB size perhaps).
On an off-topic note, I just spent 1.5 hours walking through the local Muslim temporary night market. They're having sales and discounts, being the last day of sales (since tomorrow is their huge celebration). The festive mood is infectious.
Fighting? What fighting? They're too busy doing sales / preparing to celebrate!
... you'd still face a limited window of around twelve hours.... Remember that heat dissipation in a vacuum is no trivial matter!... you could launch your probe from the extreme North or South, where night lasts much longer...
A) Terrorists are stupid.... B) People are smarter.
You're so lucky to be surrounded by good people. But still, I can't help feeling you're blind to reality in the world. In particular, some things are nagging at my mind.
A) "motivated / months of planning", "you haven't seen the really good ones"
B) "self-centered", "not wanting to risk myself / let other people take the risk"
A company with an IT department that instantly shows up when you plug an USB drive... is a rich company. Probably with in-house apps.
The easiest way to distribute/update apps in the company is to literally copy the EXE file onto the desktop (as vs deploying it using Active Directory).
I've searched using Google for quite a while, with search phrases like "I would do anything to pass this exam", "I will give you a good grade", "movie quote", and so forth. I still can't find the movie title.
A student comes to a young professor's office hours. She glances down the hall, closes his door, and kneels pleadingly. "I would do anything to pass this exam."
She leans closer to him, flips back her hair, gazes meaningfully into his eyes. "I mean," she whispers, "I would do anything."
He returns her gaze. "Anything?"
"Anything."
His voice turns to a whisper. "Would you... STUDY??"
Seeing how stupid others are is easy, it doesn't take talent. Making money in spite of intelligent people thinking you are stupid, it does take talent.
Zing and double-zing! *I* will feel embarrassed if someone rebuts me using these two lovely sentences.
He did say "Sounds like a very poorly thought out corporate policy though.", which means it was decided by someone else in the past + it is currently not under his control. Perhaps he's an outsourced IT administrator?

Mod points for this guy!
Or better yet, how many Library of Conresses (Conressi?) can be moved by all those trains.
Hey, Google returns 1,500 results for Library of Conress!
There's my questions.
Maybe the code doesn't have any functions - everything is dumped in the main() block. That will lead to much redundancy.
In other words, this article has absolutely nothing to do with laptop batteries.
A simple search for Lithium vs Lithium Ion leads to explanations of differences between the two.

You'd need to perform a dictionary and encyclopaediac attack on the description.
Butterfly = see Chaos Theory
Cotton = see Vegetable Lamb of Tartary
Fiber = see ITU-T G.652 "Characteristics of a single-mode optical fibre cable"

Yes, the sky is just a huge curved screen with plenty of white pixels.

Anyone has better ideas?
Those days are over... before they buy another one, they will be asking some relevant questions

Rebutted on Slashdot, humbled again! Oh well.

1) Uh... Don't you document your device's interfaces so you can code to them?
Um, no. For using the other two companies' libraries, they are supposed to write those docs, so that he can use them.
Also, it has absolutely nothing to do with documenting his device's interfaces.
I have the feeling I'm about to eat a really, really huge humble pie, though.
+10 Insightful.

This is supposed to be funny, mods!
I don't like the tone of my voice. Please mod me down.

But I'm not smart like you, so what can I say?
TFA didn't link to the original Reddit article. The original one is here.
And that thread's comments have multiple serious discussions going on.
And the discussions rival the quality found in Slashdot.
Probably developed in-house.

... how amazed they are when they find out you have an actual life outside of school.
And with modern technology, the moment they see you, your precious moments will be recorded, shared and stored for eternity.
