Marek, you are imbued with religious belief and therefore can't change. You have to die with your beliefs to free yourself, or, if you are lucky, merely bump your nose on the invisible [to you] reality. The religious deliberately separate themselves from reason and reality in favour of faith and mysticism, to which there is no answer except the harsh exigencies of objective reality which makes zero allowance for anything which gets in the way. The laws of nature apply whether some mystics construct an alternative reality or not. Of course QUALCOMM is not so bound and has breached the laws of physics in the process of creating an actual superbeing It <They will sell their gold to get CDMA cyberphones.> By this I mean that if they were faced with the choice of Buridan's Ass, cenius.net with the cyberphone to their left and an ounce of gold to their right, they would not starve to death. They would choose the objective reality of a cyberphone and the abstract manifestation of reality it can deliver to them. They would forego the mystical faith of the Aztec totem. People are so wealthy that they are not faced with the choice getting their wife to sell her wedding ring in favour of a "toy", the use of which word shows you have zero idea of what a cyberphone is. Is your brain a toy? A cyberphone is no more a toy than your brain is. In fact, people will prefer to have a cyberphone than parts of their brains! The cyberphone will replace their brain - it already has in some respects. I just asked Google to get me a reference to Buridan's Ass. Bingo... there it is. I can't remember stuff like that. I don't need a memory. I would swap my memory department for a good Google link. Mqurice
