Selama ini saya adalah pembaca pasif tetapi setelah membaca berita di bawah ini khirnya tergelitik untuk meresponds.
Saya bingung deh, maksud dan tujuannya untuk apa yah kok bisa-bisanya pemahaman tentang Barcode diplintir sedemikian rupa :-((. Anyway utk rekans pembaca Mediacare re Barcode yg asli dipersilahkan klik : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode ini sebagian kutipannya : A barcode (also bar code) is a machine-readable representation of information in a visual format on a surface. Originally barcodes stored data in the widths and spacings of printed parallel lines, but today they also come in patterns of dots, concentric circles, and hidden within images. Barcodes can be read by optical scanners called barcode readers or scanned from an image by special software. Barcodes are widely used to implement Auto ID Data Capture (AIDC) systems that improve the speed and accuracy of computer data entry. The first barcode was developed in 1948 by two graduate students at Drexel Institute of Technology, Bernard Silver and Norman Joseph Woodland. They filed for a U.S. patent in October 1949 and it was granted in 1952. Its implementation was made possible through the work of Raymond Alexander and Frank Stietz, two engineers with Sylvania, as a result of their work on a system to identify railroad cars (who were also granted a patent). It was not until 1966 that barcodes were put to commercial use and they were not commercially successful until the 1980s. [1] While traditionally barcode encoding schemes represented only numbers, newer symbologies add new characters such as the uppercase alphabet to the complete ASCII character set and beyond. The drive to encode more information in combination with the space requirements of simple barcodes led to the development of matrix codes (a type of 2D barcode), which do not consist of bars but rather a grid of square cells. Stacked barcodes are a compromise between true 2D barcodes and linear codes, and are formed by taking a traditional linear symbology and placing it in an envelope that allows multiple rows. salam, Rudy Santoso ========================================================== Source : http://www.eramuslim.com/news/int/45d16eb9.htm Tahukah Anda? Ada Angka Iblis di Tiap Barcode Posted by: "Wido Q Supraha" [EMAIL PROTECTED] milis1979 Date: Thu Feb 22, 2007 2:36 am ((PST)) Tahukah Anda? Ada Angka Iblis di Tiap Barcode Selasa, 13 Peb 07 18:01 WIB Barcode atau Kode garis-garis batangan bukan barang baru bagi kebanyakan orang. Hampir di seluruh produk buatan pabrik, bahkan kini di banyak produk rumahan, semuanya mencantumkan kode batangan ini. Kode yang terdiri dari garis-garis dengan ketebalan yang bervariasi oleh banyak kalangan dianggap sebagai sesuatu yang mempermudah pengidentifikasian suatu barang. Barcode ini lahir di Amerika Serikat pada awal tahun 1970-an. Pada awalnya orang banyak percaya bahwa pencantuman Barcode pada suatu produk pabrikan semata hanya untuk mempermudah pengindentifikasian dan klasifikasiannya. Namun pada perkembangannya kemudian, Barcode dicurigai sejumlah kalangan sebagai salah satu alat bagi pihak Konspirasi Internasional untuk menguasai dunia menuju apa yang sekarang dikenal dengan istilah "The New World Order", Tata Dunia Baru. Suatu keadaan di mana seluruh negara-bangsa di dunia ini tunduk pada kekuasaan Amerika Serikat. ---------------------------------deleted--------------------------------------------------------
