I've written a blog post once, dreaming about having a backup of my brain put on S3 and working as a programmer on(in?) a EC2 instance to earn enough money to keep Amazon from (killing?) discontinuing the service for me. Now I see that this is much closer to reality than I thought.

Interesting how young programmers would compete with a guy who can work 24/7 and have 250 years of professional experience...

It's a destructive process, soooo, you might want to hold out for a while.

Well, I don't need it before I die anyway...

I like Sci-Fi and sometimes I fantasize with a world where brains have become (non-self-conscious) processing power connected to a big terminal; with such a vast amount of analytic power that you can brute-force 100 billions of passwords in one second and where you can focus the abstract thinking (aka creativity) of all the brains into one specific problem; leading to a lot of new discoveries.
