You can profess to be devout in any religion, that's why actions and not words define who you really are. As a Mormon myself, I believe that Darl is a dirtbag. His only true God is money and M$soft now.
Amen brother! Even bring your bike to work and get in a ride during lunch. If your work doesn't have shower facilities, usually baby-wipes will do as you get a lot of sweat-dissapating air flow on the bike as opposed to jogging. Cycling burns calories big time if you put even a little effort into it.
I disagree. Just because someone elects to remove himself from crowded meatspace does not mean that they don't want fast & reliable access to information. In fact, a fast datastream would probably be desired, to keep more in touch with loved ones or other significant entities. In the crowded conditions most of us live in, most of our time is spent in reaction to our environment (lines, traffic jams, pollution, etc.), while living out in the boondocks may free that aspect of our lives up a bit. If we can still be jacked in and productive (telecommuting), even better!
Sure, it means download a bunch of really short sound effect wavs (or hack your own silence), rip into iTunes, swap 'em in and out as the last track on any playlist you'd like to burn away enough copies for your frat house.
Maybe it's niche for PayPal to fill. I'm actually in the Banking (Online) industry and most kids I've talked with (15, 16 yrs & older - let's not even get into the COPPA quagmire) have a savings account but no means of tapping into it other than visiting a teller. They'd love to dive into eBay et al but are locked out unless they piggyback someone's account. There's too much easy revenue with teens to have the status quo sit around for too long.
If all of this really is going to pan out and go mainstream, then the demographic with the most discretionary income, i.e. teens, need to have a way to pay for it without having to borrow Daddy's Ccard. Most teens I know don't carry their own plastic (even debit).
...can you imagine? Flynn gets sucked into a Wintel machine, announces that he's a "User", and all of the datatypes snicker and sneer. Then he's made to spend the rest of his cycles registering to the MCP/Gates thingy.

It's the Telcos that have been selling you out to these people all along! They'll be making $$$ playing both ends against the middle.
It's looks like a woman's compact for makeup. Maybe that's who're they're targeting(?)...
More specifically, Steve Jobs's Reality Distortion Field(TM), except that he crossed the wires wrong and only he is affected. W00t!
You definitely have a confrontational sense of humor. "Mormon retard", eh? Well, I hope it made you feel better anyways.
Oh yeah, I see the socks-and-sandals crowd all_over downtown during the summer!
Oh, gee, that makes it alright then, doesn't it. Grow up.
A few articles through the years anyways, i.e. Wired 3.02 "Viruses are good for you", etc.
See how the Real World is even more mind-blowing than the virtual fan-boy kind. Bonus: Slickrock (Moab) as an hors d'oeuvre!

SCO should hire This Guy, I hear he's out of a job lately
Okay, who's gonna be the guinea pig?
The convicted spammers should be forced to use AOL the rest of their lives! :)
