666 - mark of the beast

June 6th, 2006

In Unix and similar operating systems, a file permission of 666 (which is not uncommon) grants all users read and write permissions on the file.

Yes, I know I’m being pathetic by mentioning that today just happens to be June, 6, 2006… or 666the mark of the beast.

One of my sons was actually upset about this date because his friends were talking about it and he was getting scared. We had to reassure him that things will be just fine.

It just so happens that today is the opening of the movie remake, “The Omen“… well, more like a strategic coincidence.

Anyway, one of my nieces was born on August 8, 1988… or 8-8-88. Interesting.
