Plus, what are they going to tell Blake v2.0 when Jon Blake Cusak 3.0 is born? "Sorry, son. You are obsolete. We're going to have to uninstall you now."

I think it's actually cute =^_^=
There are only a few things that sadden me: one is that all the boxed-minded people in this world (and there are a LOT of them out there) will NEVER accept it and would mock the shit out of the kid (and pubescent adolescent), and two is that it's not very catchy. Calling in version 2.0 for diner will be a hassle.

So... if the kid gets plastic surgery, won't he become version 2.2?

Or if he looses a limb he'd become Version 1.5

Now you're just being silly. It'd be version 1.98

I just can't help but feel a bit sorry for the kid after reading the excerpt. It just felt like the child was being labelled as a computer, and not a living/breathing, human entity. That, in itself, is a little distressing. In the World of today, that kid is going to go through emotional HELL at school! Something, that nobody needs... Whatever the case maybe, it seems like Mattitude (Injoke for WWE fans) is indeed infecting us all! |

Actually, this is just as ridiculous as naming him "Jon Blake Cusack II".
That said, I'd prefer normal roman numerals over build version numbers.
