I would like to ask laughinghan what sparked the interest in this article? It has been on the front page of HN before (and during laughinghan's tenure on HN), so I am really interested to know the though process about posting it again (it was the same article as before, but with a new link). I have nothing wrong with this being posted again, but I see it over and over again with numerous topics, and I do find it kind of fascinating. At first I thought maybe laughinghan was a newbie on HN, but that's not the case, so this just makes it that much more interesting.
