2D Barcode – a source of inspiration?
2D, or not 2D, that is the question—
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outdated linear
Or to take arms against a sea of bars,
And by opposing thus end them? 2D, to 1D—
No more; and by 2D to say we end
The problems and the thousand Natural scratches
That Linear is heir to? ‘Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. 2D, to color
To color, perchance to PM code; Aye, there’s the rub.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because it adapts famous lines from Shakespeare’s Hamlet:
To be, or not to be, that is the question—
Whether ’tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep—
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The Heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? ‘Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep,
To sleep, perchance to Dream; Aye, there’s the rub,
