Uses in practice:Dell Express Service Code from the Service Tag {{Fact}}

Re:{{Fact}} -Any one with a Dell Express Service Code can enter the digits here and the result will tally with the Service Tag. Proving thats the system Dell uses.--Trounce 15:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Your intentions are good, but Wikipedia article pages are not allowed to cite Wikipedia talk pages as references... AnonMoos 01:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

The system id used for installation can be found in C:\DELL\SYSINFO.DAT. This can be viewed remotely via the hidden C$ Administrative share as something like \\Computername\C$\DELL\SYSINFO.DAT .

The system tag with a "D", for Dell, prefix is used as the Computer's default networking name, so a "NET VIEW" command will often show a few Dell System Tags :-) Lent (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Using Base36 in Java:

   long value = 1854479759125471116L;
   String base36 = Long.toString(value, 36); // "e37y7k86u5xo"

   String base36 = "e37y7k86u5xo";
   long value = Long.parseLong(base36, 36); // 1854479759125471116

Bugs in sample code

Both the C# and the Python code have bugs - they are missing the case where the value == 0. Both loops should be converted to do-whiles to fix said boundary condition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.13.56.115 (talk) 01:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Good catch. I've fixed the C# example. I'm not sufficiently familiar with python syntax to feel comfortable messing with the python example. 203.171.85.67 (talk) 02:42, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
