All banknotes to have a 2D barcode?

On the other hand, his insurance would have paid him for the stolen bicycle. What if he decided not to have insurance ? Tough luck. He might try to get recompense from the thief, or from the shop that sold his bicycle. Why should the shop be any more liable than the customer ? Well, if the shop owner can show he bought the bicycle in good faith he is not liable, but the person he bought it from. But I think that will be tough to show. (He might have checked, for instance, the list of stolen bicycles.) (I did hear a rumour once that bicycle theft rings in Amsterdam were financed by the new bicycle retailers). Most are stolen by junks that sell them again. But who do they sell them to ? The man on the street. -- dik t. winter, cwi, kruislaan 413, 1098 sj amsterdam, nederland, +31205924131 home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; http://www.cwi.nl/~dik/ |

PDF417 uses Solomon Reed error correction of flexible size, so a few damaged bits would be OK. Not that I see much point in the exercise unless we all have online readers that are able to detect stolen or duplicate bar codes at the point we receive the money. Perhaps the shops would. I've seen loads (ok ONE) shop with a UV banknote tester. As have I. A chippy actually. It incorrectly read a real £20 note as counterfeit because it had been washed. What do modern detergents contain? U/V sensitive ingredients. What do fake note testers check for? The same thing. All in all useless. Did you get into trouble? -- http://www.petersparrots.com http://www.insanevideoclips.com http://www.petersphotos.com Officer Patrick McGuire of the New York City Police Department answers a call on his radio and reports to the scene of a car accident in the Queens-Midtown Tunnel. Officer McGuire notes that a new Buick had its front end merged with the rear end of a Chrysler. The driver of the Buick was Father Francis O'Boyle; the driver of the Chrysler was Rabbi Isaac Goldstein. After Officer McGuire verifies that Rabbi Goldstein has suffered no physical injuries in the accident, he walks back to survey the damages to each vehicle. Then, Officer McGuire walks over to Father O'Boyle and asks him: "Tell me, Father, just how fast was that Rabbi going when he backed into you?" |
