I prefer tactile response as well, however I'd guess that good voice activated controls will be introduced soon enough.

I'd say the point is to inflict financial pain on who they are attacking, the publicity comes second.

Among the tight knit group of friends that I had the majority of my psychedelic experiences with, we dubbed that 4 hour period after the peak as "Cranky Religion." It's when you've reached a point where you feel enlightened but too tired to give a damn. You mostly sit around and relate to one another how messed up society is.

Given how personal and intense my experiences were for both how I relate to myself and the world, but also with my relationship with my best friends, I can't imagine really doing LSD or Mushrooms in a rave/party like environment.

Palm is already doing this with their WebOS platform. Of course nobody cares because nobody buys Palm anymore.

1. This is certainly true, but hopefully we can find a good way to combine the benefits of booting from EBS and having a fast root partition, with that of the agility of Chef/RightScript model, to decrease boot times.

2. You can version server templates to use specific revisions of RightScripts and recipes. In fact, the Chef implementation is built around using a branch or commit SHA1 to specify what versions of the recipes you want to use from your repository.

What makes a pancake inherently something 'not vegan'? The ethical concerns which led me to veganism in no way removed pancakes from my desired diet. As such, I make them on a regular basis.

Just because somebody doesn't eat meat doesn't mean they don't like the concept of the meal in general. I make vegan versions of tacos, hamburgers, chicken salad, and egg salad because I like everything else about the meal other than the animal product. If I can substitute the animal for a plant based alternative I can enjoy the meals I've always loved, why wouldn't I?
