Super simple to do - just change the iSerialNumber of the device
descriptor (http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb5.htm). I would
be amazed if there are no usb-enabled chips that allow you to modify
said descriptor, though I'm not about to start hunting through atmel
docs (or whoever's) to find 'em.

Also, hi everyone.
