Research is all there for the reading.
Only after Jews were identified -- a massive and complex task that Hitler wanted done immediately -- could they be targeted for efficient asset confiscation, ghettoization, deportation, enslaved labor, and, ultimately, annihilation. It was a cross-tabulation and organizational challenge so monumental, it called for a computer. Of course, in the 1930s no computer existed.
But IBM's Hollerith punch card technology did exist. Aided by the company's custom-designed and constantly updated Hollerith systems, Hitler was able to automate his persecution of the Jews. Historians have always been amazed at the speed and accuracy with which the Nazis were able to identify and locate European Jewry. Until now, the pieces of this puzzle have never been fully assembled. The fact is, IBM technology was used to organize nearly everything in Germany and then Nazi Europe, from the identification of the Jews in censuses, registrations, and ancestral tracing programs to the running of railroads and organizing of concentration camp slave labor.
IBM and its German subsidiary custom-designed complex solutions, one by one, anticipating the Reich's needs. They did not merely sell the machines and walk away. Instead, IBM leased these machines for high fees and became the sole source of the billions of punch cards Hitler needed.

RFID chips used to track dead after Katrina
ping
I want a rifid for my 1) car keys; 2)wallet; 3)cellphone; 4)TV remote; 4)slippers and especially 5)eyeglasses.
I have wasted half of my life looking for these things.
That would be a good thing if you were the one allowed to track those items.
As if the various other permutations and teensyness of RFID weren't wild enough, here comes Hitachi with its new "powder" 0.05mm x 0.05mm RFID chips. The new chips are 64 times smaller than the previous record holder, the 0.4mm x 0.4mm mu-chips, and nine times smaller than Hitachi's last year prototype, and yet still make room for a 128-bit ROM that can store a unique 38-digit ID number. The main application is likely to be anti-counterfeit, but since the previous mu-chips could be embedded into paper quite easily enough, we're fairly certain Hitachi is just doing this for bragging rights and potential pepper shaker mixups. Hitachi should have these on the market in two or three years.
This was an action of trespass against James Van Dyk for breaking and entering the plaintiff's close, and cutting down and carrying away his grain, grass, wood, hay, corn, &c. The plaintiff recovered a verdict for $60, and there are nine reasons offered for setting the judgment aside; but the last eight being unsupported by the record, and in no wise verified, the first reason is the only one to be considered; and this is because the declaration is wholly informal, and wants substance.
Now informality has been settled repeatedly to be no good reason for reversing the judgment, provided it is good in substance. And it contains the following charge: that 23d of July, 1817, the defendant, with force and arms, broke and entered the plaintiff's close and barn, at Bloomfield in the county of Essex, and the grain, grass, wood, hay, corn, boards, apples, and garden vegetables of the plaintiff then grown and growing, did cut down, carry off, waste, and destroy, to the plaintiff's damage one hundred dollars. Here is substance enough. Had it alleged the quantity and value of each article it would have been more formal; but the uttermost form of the book alleges quantity and value under a videlecit, and then they are not to be proved as laid, but are left open to any evidence that the plaintiff may be able to adduce at the trial. The declaration is sufficient in substance.
Let the judgment be affirmed.
Van Dyk v. Dodd 1822 WL 1193, (N.J. 1822)
I have been waiting for this archaic common law theory of civil recovery to revive.

I really want to get in the discussion of the end times here :)
How many believe this is 666?
My take is that it isn't. 666 will probably take this form, but it won't be 666 until the antichrist comes.

Are these going to require antenna leads? i think its hard to believe the leads are onboard with the chip... unless its working at an insane frequency...

Does this have any medical implications?
It is small enough to be mistaken for pepper and presumably fairly safe to consume.
Would it be possible to have someone consume some, mixed with water perhaps, in order to track the digestive system, instead of barium solution and xrays?

Highly RankedIOTA @ Feb 15th 2007 2:06AM
Ahh, where to begin.
Hitachi has had these ICs out for some time (like 2+ yrs).
It is called the Mu chip and it operates at 2.4GHz via a proprietary protocol.
While there is an antenna, it is etched into the silicon which has severe effects on operating range; it is certainly on the order of mm.
And finally, to address any discussions of eating these ICs....IT IS SILICON!! Have you ever heard about the health effects of even working in a fab?
Try chipping a piece of silicon from a chip on an old motherboard and let us know how that goes.
Good luck

Paint this RFID white, throw it like confetti or rice over the bride and groom after the wedding, track them on your rfid tracking system to the location of their honeymoon suite, get the binoculars out and gain brownie points and respect from all the other pervs on the planet for the strangest use of technology to get your rocks off!

This wouldn't be able to replace the role of barium. As a radio-opaque liquid, a barium meal (or enema) is used to give an outline of the inside of the digestive tract to diagnose structural and motility problems. There may be other medical uses but if the range is in mm, as IOTA says, they're hard to imagine.
As to the dangers of silicon, it's very bad to inhale as a powder but not too bad to eat. Elemental silicon is quite inert.

Neutrallittlepear_com @ Feb 15th 2007 2:52AM
I don't think the bride and groom would care for you tracking them from mm away on their wedding night. Say, isn't it silicone that's purported to be toxic? I thought silica was just white sand. Hey maybe I should head out to the beach and have some dude kick sand in my face. My head could use some extra memory.

If you bring a case to court, it would be revived.
So should government be expected to limit itself or to creak into motion to limit intrusions into personal liberty? See post 10 - it should be up to lawyers and the courts.
Oops - sorry. Lawyers are no damn good and we need tort reform.
