TOR exit node owners get into trouble for exactly that all over the place. I guess that they won't be able to convict you unless you have something on your PC during the FBI search..

What Kurzweil is saying is that you can't just linearly extrapolate the progress of these projects. Even if we only know a fraction of a percentage of what's going on in the brain after 20 years doesn't mean we'll know only twice as much in

That's the point - we CAN'T do better than nuclear. Not in 2009. All the alternatives are either too expensive or not reliable enough.

Solar and wind is nowhere near price-competitive with nuclear plants. Nuclear is the only real alternative to coal-fired plants (which are much worse than nuclear in pretty much every way, including the amount of radioactive waste generated

The other day a beggar was asking me for money and I thought "He's just going to spend it on drugs and booze". Then I realised that's exactly what I was going to do with the money - who am I to judge this poor guy?

Twin studies show that identical twins reared apart are highly similar in terms of (for example) IQ. Much more so than fraternal twins reared together (or apart for that matter) This indicates that genetics certainly play a very important r
