        Caution : This is not programming related discussion board.;P GUIDs are generated by a tool called GUIDGEN.EXE which is available in the Windows Platform SDK. Kant Sonork-100.28114 Don't :beer: and Drive.

          A GUID is a number used for uniquelly identify some piece of data. Unlike people here said, you can't create one, because there would be no guarantee that this GUID would be unique. Only MS can create GUIDs and they aren’t cheap, they cost about US$2 each. I’ve bought about 10,000 GUIDs from MS last year and paid about US$20,000 for them, but I won’t use them anymore, so I can sell you them for about US$5,000. Mail me if you are interested. :zzz: I see dumb people

                    It's a type of creature. They are short and have pointed ears. They get along well with dwarves and hobbits, but not as well with elves. :-D You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.

                      I'd definitely like to buy some! I was looking for some this weekend (my harddrive quit on me and I lost all my GUID's that I had been saving - there was a good 2-for-1 sale at Macies) on EBay but I couldn't find any. Are these the new DRM validated GUID's ? I really need some of those. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire! Real Mentats use only 100% pure, unfooled around with Sapho Juice(tm)!

                          You know, with the explosion of developers, Microsoft have found they don't have enough GUID's. That's why .NET does not use them, because there aren't enough to go around. I'd keep those 10,000 if I was you, or at least put them on ebay. I hear they are selling for a lot more than you're offering.

                          It'd probably be fairly easy to make a bot that'd post random stupid VB questions, and nobody would probably ever notice - benjymous - 21-Jan-2003
