Public sector. Guy wants to upload a PDF file into our system that exceeds our file size upload limit by a factor of more than 10. The PDF contains a lot of pictures.

His idea: print the hundreds of pages of the PDF on paper in b/w and scan it because b/w takes less space then colored pictures.

I am perplexed. He asked first though, so we could prevent the actual printing.

    It's always amazing to follow the thought process of such organism. While not complex, it sure is a wonder of this world.

    It is kind of interesting to know that he knows b/w takes less space than colored.

    I'm not sure if I'm impressed or angered by the thought process here...

    This is the kind of story you tell by a bonfire to scare dev children.

    At least he was trying to think about the problem, apply some logic and propose a solution.
