Hal: I didn't see your code on /. last night. Could you post it here?
I simply must play with this.
I think, since :C__:C__ is a trademarked name, that we need to come up
with an open source name (like "Gnu's Not Unix" for the software. I'm
new to this stuff, but I think I have it right:
Since it's a BARcode reader that mingles its data in the keyboard
Queue, bar-q. Which doesn't infringe upon anyone's trademark except
maybe Coca-Cola's for Barq's Root Beer, hence the inserted hyphen.
But it can also be pronounced like the root beer, homophonic to "bark",
which is what a dog does. And dogs chase cats. Rand fans might even
remember "barking cats", which is cool, too.
