    Will this mean that Catholics with a Facebook account will be forced to open a Gizmodo account if they wish to comment during Lent?

    As an Amish person (Mennonite, actually), I don't have any problem with this since I don't use any technology anyway.

    @frigg: How on earth did you become a star commenter on a tech-centric website then?


    This is blowing my MIND!

    @AciSpades: Since I let a very pregnant Brian Lam sleep in my barn - where he proceeded to give birth to the baby Jesus who, as we all know, went on to become his Senior Associate Editor - I suppose he figured he owed me one.


    @Arvedui: I guess there ARE those who would make the argument that a "computer" is "technology," but as long as no one knows you have one, and you only code in simple HTML for family farms and such, it doesn't really count.


    Besides, Amish (and Mennonites) don't shun technology per se, it's more like a ban on the accoutrements of contemporary society that degrade community. Hence the historical ban on individually-owned phones (which I broadly interpret as a ban against the 3G iPhone until it supports 32 GB of memory).

    "If you don't give up the above stated technology, the terrorists will win."


    Does that still work with the right-wingers?

    The media is giving up breathless exhortations of how great Twitter is (in spite of having no business plan or how to monetize a free service) for Lent.
