]]> Comment on USB Connectors Wasting 4 Million man-hours per year by John Carter http://blog.bottomlessinc.com/2010/08/usb-connectors-wasting-4-million-man-hours-per-year/comment-page-1/#comment-108018 John Carter Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:47:07 +0000 http://blog.bottomlessinc.com/?p=139#comment-108018 The fundamental problem of this Era is our inability to resolve the issue of externalized costs. The costs associated with this problem lands on the user, the costs of solving it lands on the manufacturer, and marketing deems it an too finicky and "unsexy" a selling point. Every SINGLE DAMN TIME I meet a hardware engineer I badger them about this issue. The worst I have seen is a connector that can fit both ways round (and work in only one way)... But wait, theres more! Each way round the 24 pins can be offset up and down one row, or left and right 5 columns (no you can't see the offset, it's half buried in the case) ie. 2 * 2 * 10 = 40 ways of connecting the two devices. Only one way works. It's all I can do to refrain from given'em a swift kick between the legs for designs like this.

I have looked everywhere for a solution and can't find a way to do this. Any chance a short code will be coming for this in the future?
