Subject: Proto Truth Promptly Hacked

I'm not sure what this all has to do with cryonics, but let's lay it to 
rest with the realization that as soon as somebody actually produces a 
cellphone that can analyze and transmit a caller's mood, some hacker or 
company will come along within a week with an add-on to let a caller 
specify what mood he/she wants to maintain, and the software will alter the 
voice just right to convey that mood.

Actually, now that I think about it, that latter piece of engineering would 
be a practical application in its own right.  Bored telemarketers could, 
regardless of the real mood in their voice, be made to sound affable, sexy, 
whatever is desired.  We could call this new product "Proto Lie".
