Either ways, the solution should be to fix the security system and reward the whistleblower. In a few years, we are going to have millions of teenagers with the competence and ability to pull of what Hamed did. What then?

I'm sure this is common knowledge. But this is his "troll" organization - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_Nigger_Association_of_Ameri...

The law should treat both of them exactly the same. But if he was nice and unoffensive, I would go out of my way to help him.

I have "pain is temporary" tattooed on my inner thigh to serve exactly this purpose. Unfortunately, when you're depressed the tattoo seems stupid.

PS: This might be because it's a stupid tattoo to begin with.

People that describe themselves as trolls are generally bigoted idiots and I feel no sympathy. I'm sorry if that's a stereotype but I can't help myself, the internet hasn't been nice to me.

This response has nothing to do with anything. The singularity as Kurzweil is describing it is marked by tangible events like the development of a true AI or atleast a machine learning algorithm capable of discovering and proving its own concepts. I have no idea how this relates to your very abstract singularity (a trick of perspective?).

A copy is never good enough. I think the best approach would be to enhance the brain by attaching devices to it directly. This maintains continuity and doesn't raise as many philosophical questions. This also raises other interesting questions like how long can the brain live in a suspended solution and where would all these consciousnesses live...

There is a way to feed the energy you make using renewable sources into the grid so you can use them when they are around. Since you're still connected to the grid, conventional energy sources or better yet, renewable energy being generated elsewhere, can take over when the renewables aren't available.
