Same thing happened to a buddy of mine. During the Drive Optimization, his g4 crashed on him, and gave a 'Truncated or Malformed' error on boot. Tried fsck from the single-user mode, but to no avail. Re-installing was his only other option.
Actually, I've scanned the new 20's into Photoshop CS a couple of times for use in art, at many different resolutions. I've never noticed any kind of anti-counterfitting measure.
By the look of the product photos on their corporate website (www.cypak.com), they have simple, integrated interfaces and feedback mechanisms (they mention a speaker and a few lights are visible). A user or signal can input commands, have them processed, and stored within the memory. This is a great deal more advanced than a visual storage mechanism
A few example uses:
Pharmacutical Packaging
- User-specific dosage recommendations from a dateabase
-Tracking/Security
Distribution Tracking
-have Max/Min tempurature, pressure, handling recorded and time-stamped
-Tamper evidence
I read a pretty fair book a few years back called "Non-zero: the Logic of Human Destiny" by Robert Wright. It dealt with many of the same issues, but from a more historic perspective, using game theory to find a direction and mechanism behind cultural growth and interaction. A lot of assumption involved, but an interesting read.
