[REBOL] Creating unique ID's?
Hi Rebols, I need to create ID's which are unique over even when they are created on different machines, or several poeple on the same machine, etc. Does anyone have a better idea than unique-id: join join system/user/email system/network/host now/precise Thanks in advance Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.

[REBOL] Re: REBels in Toronto ?
Georgetown, eh? I'm excited by REBOL and various other 'new-age' languages, and thought that perhaps a user group with occasional get-togethers might help promote the langauges a bit locally, and help open people's minds beyond VC++, VB, Java and .NET. I'm thinking about setting up a Vanilla site with areas for Oz/Mozart, Erlang, REBOL, Ruby, Python, Self, Eiffel, Icon, Haskell, OCaML, Sather, Lua, etc. About 10 of us in Toronto did this a decade ago when OO first hit - it helped a lot. Good way to find a community of competent, open thinkers, too. - Kemp -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of webmaster Sent: July 15, 2002 11:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [REBOL] Re: REBels in Toronto ?

For example, if you call this twice in a row, you'll very likely get the same ID so it's not a good substitute for something like the DCE UUID approach, but that may be overkill. If you need ID's that are *guaranteed* (or as close as we can get to that) to be unique across time and space, I think you'll need to do more. Adding a random element would be a good start. There was a short discussion on the list in mid-January about UUID generation. --Gregg -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.

If you can stand a *very* small (but non-zero) probability of a
collision, you can avoid publishing user and/or host information
by using
checksum/secure rejoin [
system/user/email system/network/host now/precise
]
which, for example, on one of my boxen gives
#{0CFD7B12DBFAD911FD68BD4AA6862AA5AD3F4D17}
and I'll offer a reward of a virtual cookie to anyone who can
determine who/where/when from the above.
In theory, there's a 1 : 2 ** 80 chance (1 in 1.2E24) of a collision
between different ids.

Hi there! I know how to load an image as long as it is GIF or JPEG...how can I load TIFF images? Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] Re: TIFF images
From memory, REBOL only supports loading JPEG, PNG, BMP and GIF formats. Save support is limited to PNG and BMP. Regards, Ashley -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.
