Responsible OID holder

by @ Thursday, March 27th, 2008. Filed under tech

Well I decided I would be a responsible OID holder and registered the OID that Microsoft gave to me several years ago… http://www.oid-info.com/get/1.2.840.113556.1.8000.1420   Note that Microsoft no longer gives out OIDs like that.

The new $5 bill

by @ Thursday, March 27th, 2008. Filed under general

The new US $5 bill… Allegedly the small yellow circles are in a special pattern that will tell digital copy software not to copy the money… You will just get a black image. http://www.portfolio.com/interactive-features/2008/02/New-Five?TID=st092007ab   With all the redesign work on the money, I wonder why we haven’t done like some other countries and made […]
