Lining up for bigger and better bar codes

'Fess up, though -- you haven't noticed. Who looks at bar codes? That's what scanners are for.

Still, it's pretty startling to realize that what may be the single most ubiquitous thing in modern society grows by more than 8 percent -- 8 percent! -- and you had no idea. Even worse, the change has to do with the United States adopting a European standard (don't tell Donald Rumsfeld).

Gee a Boston Globe article concerning technology that somehow manages to sleight Donald Runsfeld.

I wonder if that is a prerequiste over there for getting printed.

The only code my bar has is the "no shirt, no shoes, no service". : )

Dear Sir, It simply must be asked, why in an article about bar codes is the name "Donald Rumsfeld". Perhaps you should explain to the author the difference between a news item and an editorial. Sincerely,
