Sorry... also I forgot to mention.. if this patent is actually used, I'll be
the first one out on the streets selling the designs for a barcode that
reads "1337 H4x0r" to the cop/clerk who reads it. It couldn't be that hard
to screw up... if you have 7 little bars, you just lengthen one so that it
says you're 21 or something :-)
