alt Hacker NewsI have so many questions.
- Was there a lab where they tested beating people to death with IBM hardware?
- Where did they find subjects? Volunteers, interns, exit-interviews from layoff rounds?
- Now that you can't beat people to death with IBM hardware, what do you use instead?

I believe IBM hardware is still applicable for this, the Thinkpad just isn't IBM hardware anymore.

Standard issue for field agents in the corporate acquisitions and consulting divisions.

We test these things in production.
Shh... we don't talk about those dark ages any more. Times were different.
