I haven't laughed that hard all day (I tend to be a fairly jovial person). Stephen, I don't know how you find all this stuff, but keep it up. Was he serious about the Za 5 bit? If so, that's just pitiful. I'm about as ambitious as they come, but even I don't have hopes of ever being part of something mentioned specifically in the Bible. There was a guy at this year's maker faire who had 2 rfid's in his hand. He uses them to unlock his condo's front door and such. Walks up to it and just turns the knob. Not sure I'm ready to go jabbing bits of silicon into my hand, but it's got keyless remotes beat all to pieces. It's somewhere in the video <a href="http://www.revision3.com/systm" rel="nofollow">here.</a> Amazing article. I haven’t laughed that hard all day (I tend to be a fairly jovial person).

There was supposed to be some Cray supercomputer in the 80's that was so large and powerful, it was nicknamed "The Beast". And I remember some guy traveling around preaching about it, that this computer could hold so much information that it would allow control of all the world's economies from one centralized point, or something like that. Funny thing is, my current desktop system is hundreds of times more powerful than that computer was back then. Oh well. Yep, I’ve been hearing this kind of stuff for years.
