Re:Seems reasonable
Sir, we have detected that you've been visiting the site http://www.brains4zombies.com/ 50 times in the past week...Can you please eat this cookie to confirm your identity?
But really this brings the fundamental question, if eating brains warrants a zombie-tag as one could call it...and Twitter is a waste of brain cells, could it be Twitter is just a zombie-host? This would bring about a whole new set of issues, I for one being a fan of cutting the damn annoying service off, permanently.

Re:Eating Brains and Related Nonsense
I am glad that I don't know what brains taste like.
No problem ! Order some tasty ones on-line.

Penrose and microtubules
The microtubules argument of Penrose has been multiply rebuffed since it was first proposed, at least based on what I've heard. I'll try and dig up the synopsis from my copy of Beyond Humanity and post it.
You owe the Zombie Oracle a slice of Broca's brain. ARrrRRRgh pick-uhled braaaaainsARrrrGHhh.

Re:What about quantumn computing?
It has been speculated that quantum computing effects may occur in the brain. However, as I understand it, the current conventional wisdom is that such effects are minimal at best, and do not impact on the overall result of brain function. The reasoning behind this is that in a given cell, the gross chemical reactions that govern how a neuron will react are extremely predictable phenomena, keeping it out of the purvue of quantum effects.
Some of the research I've seen in regards to the quantum effect applied to reasoning appears to be directed to sensory phenomena, i.e. the idea that two people observing the same phenomena (say, watching a tree get hit by lightning) do not register the event in the same way because (1) the photons from such an event are governed by quantum effects and (2) the neural matrix formed in a particular brain tends to be a dynamical one, that is to say, governed by chaos theory as opposed to quantum mechanics.
A somewhat dogmatic but interesting discussion of quantum thinking theories can be found in a book called Beyond Humanity (subtitled something and the evolution of cyberminds. Just in case you're interested.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled zombie-fest....AARRrrghh arrrgggh BRaaIIIIns!!! (And to think I made my first first post with such silliness!

Jeff's new venture!
Well, if you havn't noticed.. jeff is working on a NEW VENTURE. They plan on re-inventing just-in-time inventory systems.
The competition, Brainsandneurons.com is heating up though.

toysI've always wanted a radio-controlled helicopter with a wireless video transmitter, so I could launch the thing out my window and go and harass the construction workers in the shell of the building next door. And it would have to have enough range/air-time/maneuverability that when they noticed it and started swinging shovels at it, I could get away. Sadly, my research seems to indicate that RC copters don't work that way: the people who are into this stuff are into RC modelling, which means that they like building the things, not actually flying them, and so there aren't any that are actually stable or work well. They all seem to be very fragile and either have very short flight times, or be absolutely huge (like, 6' long) which kind of defeats the purpose, if you ask me. (``I've got a map of the world. It's actual size. Maybe you've seen it.'')
An AudioRequest would be cool, though a PC preconfigured to do the same thing would be even cooler.
The ArcadePC MAME Cabinet is pretty sweet. So is the Arcade2000 cabinet.
Everybody loves BRAINS. And MORE BRAINS!!
For the audiophile in your life, perhaps you should consider an $80 steel brick or a $20 green pen.
Oh, I would also like someone to find me a missile silo home, but it has to be within ten miles of San Francisco (the Presidio or the Marin Headlands would be acceptable locations.)
