I can't imagine being stuck in a floating smoke pit. The airlines would have to pay me to fly.

A billion dollars is powerful. If he wants to; I'll bet that Saverin will find a way to live in the U.S. again.

Some people are using e-mail like IM and e-mail is built as an asynchronous communication system. In my opinion, that's where the friction happens.
