Floridians, watch your automatic garage door openers....here come the droids!!

With that in mind...

I would be concerned if I were the Viagra folks.

Can't track tatoos

You can if it is impossible to buy or sell without one.

(That probably requires the end of cash of course.)

These MAD DOGS want to infect the population with electronic RABIES.

I certainly hope future reporters remind the population it is a legal duty to shoot mad dogs on sight.

Yeah but you can still hide. The mark will not be that archaic.

Wow! This is certaintly better in every way than the old-fashioned Nazi way of tattooing your camp number on your arm. Just think how much safer from terrorists we'll be< /sarcasm>

I'm sure law enforcement will support it (Unfortunately, not sarcasm)

I was thinking that you left out the millions of sheeple who'd have to go along in order to make that quantum leap. But, gee, we have a lot of those out there, don't we?

HAVE BEEN CURIOUS,

What kinds of DO IT YOURSELF options might there be to protect one's tower type stand computer etc. from EMP? EMI? PULSES that fry unprotected chips etc??? Maybe it's silly if the whole electrical system is fried but I'd still sort of like to know. . . and consider . . . How much thickness of what . . . iron? . . . . lead? . . . around such machines would work?

Its shares closed unchanged Tuesday at 38 cents on Nasdaq.

It's up 21% on high volume.

This is a novel idea, but it will be a very, very, very, longtime before it could even be realized at a level that most here seem to think. The logistics of this happening on a large scale are phenomenal. We can't even get wi-fi, blutooth, cell phones, microwave ovens, etc. to work together properly, much less something with such litte output. By the time anything like that happens, freerepublic will be long forgotten.

Minor correction:

By the time anything like that happens, there will be no Free Republic.

Until they make the devices so small you ingest them - knowingly or unknowingly.

Why not just have the UN tattoo our arms?

A tattoo is nowhere near as efficient and it can not transmit data. Besides tattoos might become a declasse fashion statement for the overlords.

I shall be planted before I am implanted and as long as I am going I might as well take some of those insisting on this with me.

Isn't Christmas wonderful? Oh I'm makinn' a list and checkin' it twce.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
