Terrifying idea that just came up in conversation after dinner: left-handed CDs. I decided it was a spec pushed by the Soviet Union in order to be assholes, like that horrible 'metric inch' system.

In the unlikely event someone wants to edit Wikipedia to site this commentary about the Soviet metric inch, you can link to
The Information Age Volume III: Economy, Society, and Culture, Manuel Castells, Blackwell Publishing, Page 32
, or to the original source that book cites in footnotes, Fred Langa in
BYTE
magazine, April 1991, Page 128.
