You folks draw your own conclusion as to the nature and direction of this kind of technology.

We already mentioned the ASUS J105 phone, and this is a very interesting way of using the bar code reader that is integrated into this phone in Taiwan (the same system exists in Japan). The system goes as follows: you make some sort of tattoo with a bar code that contains all your personal information like age, height, phone number, ... and all you need to do then is get photographed by the lovely young ladies on the street. This is cyber-flirting on a street-level! .

Well, I personally would never consent to anything like this for myself and my family, and would have to have it forcibly put on.
Just another idiot with too much time on their hands. Go to a bar, drink, meet woman, get married have kids. What's wrong with that?

But what if you want a return or exchange?
Or maybe you need to invoke the extended warranty?

Go to a bar, drink, meet woman, get married have kids. What's wrong with that? you left the "get The Mark part." Get The Mark, go to a bar...etc.

Suppose you've got a bar-code and nobody ever wants to scan it?

Suppose you've got a bar-code and nobody ever wants to scan it? Given where I put mine, nobody even wants to see it, much less scan it.

So you're saying that they'd need artificial light to find it?

Well, it would be an excuse for me to get another tattoo. I've been wondering what I should get.
Tattoo ping, just for fun!

Whole new meaning to the term "bar-girl".
To: Former Fetus
It would seem to me that this is simply another part of a conditioning process to get the people to accept that fianl mark of the beast. You won't be able to pick up women without it because you won't be able to buy that drink, jewelry, or anything else.

Well, it would be an excuse for me to get another tattoo. I have two roses and a demon!
Well, he ain't really a demon, he's Eddie but everybody thinks he's a demon. ;-)

What if you change your phone number?
Change enough personal info, and you'll start looking like a digital gas station bathroom wall.

Iron Maiden Eddie? Yep, the very same.
He's on my ankle and keeps me company.

I lived alone
My mind was blank
I needed time to think
To get the memories from my mind...
lol I thought 666 was appropriate considering the thread. Ah, those high school memories.
