Hollywood is best thing about America. And thank god for the fast food chains

So you want to be selective in going only as far back as US immigration, but not before that? How predictable!

Of course, mentioning that Arab immigrants gave Spain a glorious 700 years of progress in the same way would take away your argument, I suppose, just an example?

Not really....the glory is due to immigration of Arabs...so it still scales the same way...
So you want to talk about before the immigrants? Really? Red Indians and love of nature? Sure...

Most rising powers in human history benefited from immigrants and USA has taken that new heights, that is all.

My exact point no idea why you got defensive!

Aren't the new barcodes now 2D?

3D. They are certainly all over the place but UPC still seems to be the norm on consumer goods.

I think they are called 2D barcodes:


Barcode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Matrix (2D) barcodes
A matrix code, also termed a 2D barcode or simply a 2D code, is a two-dimensional way to represent information. It is similar to a linear (1-dimensional) barcode, but can represent more data per unit area."

May be there is a newer 3D version too?
