"And the chip's number is 666, right?"

They found out recently that the text had been mis-translated and the actual number was 616 or 619, I forget which. Don't tell anyone though.

or was it 656

666 in Greek, 616 in Hebrew.

Actually, the chip's number is programmable. Using only 666 would be wasting a great deal of memory....at least write the numberr 666 over and over again in a 512 bit memory space (in an EPC Class 1, Gen 2 RFID tag, EPC memory space holds 32, 16 bit locations...that is the code used to ID you and everything about you).

Did UPC codes cause this much grief when they were unveiled? Just curious, that's all.
