= UUID Waster

UUID Waster is a useless Sinatra application for wasting Universal Unique Identifiers (UUIDs).

A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number defined by {RFC 4122}[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122] that is for all intents and purposes guaranteed to be unique.

For example, the probability of a duplicate UUID would be about 50% if every person on earth—population approaching seven billion people—owned 600 million UUIDs.

== Dependencies

* UUID Waster uses the {simple_uuid}[http://github.com/ryanking/simple_uuid] gem from Twitter to perform the UUID generation

* It uses {DataMapper}[http://datamapper.org/] as an ORM
