1394
Posted by Nathaniel.
The car ahead of me at a light this morning had a license plate that was just 1394. (It was a special “Eastern Shore of Maryland” plate, not a custom plate.) It made me wonder if the car owner knew that’s the IEEE designation for Firewire.
Kind of makes me want to get a 80211 license plate. Might be kind of presumptuous though since I don’t do any EE.

was it a moderately fast (1394a) or really speedy (1394b) car?
I feel really nerdy right now. ugh.
i mean, good times.

It was a minivan, so I think it might have been running at one of the slower speeds in the spec. Both 1394b and 1394a can fall back to 200 Mb/s and 100 Mb/s and I think that’s more appropriate for the car.
