Props for the coffee question. I love the smell of ground coffee, even relatively cheap brands.

  What stance do you have on morality?

  I find morality to be pretty situational, but despite (and perhaps because of) not being religious and not having a divine source for my morality, I find myself to be a pretty moral person. I tend to do the right thing, if only because I constantly think “Well, if everyone did X, what kind of a world would we live in?”

  My body is freaking out. Are these common caffeine withdrawal symptoms?

  Having tried going cold-turkey on caffeine before, I can tell you, it hurts just as bad as you are describing. When I do it, I tend to spend a couple of days just conked out and headachey.

  Why does the Windows 7 OS-tan have a cat?

  @markyy -Tan is the way little kids pronounce the suffix “chan”, which in turn is the suffix you append to something in Japan to make it a “cute” something. So the adorable, kid-like aphilotus would be aphi-chan, or as aphichan himself would pronounce his name, aphi-tan! The OS-tans, then, are Small, Cute, usually female, Childlike Anthropomorphizations of the various Operating Systems that exist. The Windows-tans are all siblings, obviously, and the Unix/Linux-tans are like a big crazy clan of incest, and the Mac/OSX-tans tend to be catgirls (thanks to the longstanding Apple policy of naming their products after types of big-cat. OS-tans are an interesting crossover between the anime/manga sphere and the computer-geek sphere, not unlike the Alternate History Geek and Manga Geek crossover Hetalia:Axis Powers, a comic about the anthropomorphized European nations from Between the Great Wars, centering around “Useless Italy”, a smart but slightly cowardly young man, and his travails working for Germany, who is trying to train him, but always has to meet the demands of his “Crazy boss” (Hitler). I don’t know why I know that.
