I've been taking double or triple dose liquid multivitamins and withstood several bugs around work and with wife. I just like the thought of using chemicals instead of chi.
Most slashdot readers think they are more intelligent than the average person. Despite this, most slashdot readers really are more intelligent than the average person.
I didn't even think to check if anybody mentioned it before posting. By the way, mentioned the Singularity a lot as well--we need interesting memes here.
Wouldn't a language that is parsable itself be ideal in programming? The only issue I've noticed is the apostrophe is used extensively in the regular words, so it is sometimes listed as an 'h' (not a letter in lojban). Maybe the Singularity will hit before lojban takes off (feel free to mod me down or ignore me because I mention the Singularity).
You'll always have silicon irregularities, which can perhaps replicate the anomalies of DNA errors (as mentioned in another comment), as well as other imbalances. That would create regions that are in effect simulating a specific chemical imbalance. As computation switches to different regions, it is then like a specific brain area undergoing chemical changes.
For one, it won't have genes, and won't need a million years of anything. For another, there are ways to define intelligence. Take learning. Learning is one. Learning to learn is higher. Eliezer Yudkowsky of the Singularity Institute has reflected on this quite a bit.
Slashdot Mirror
Singulatarian/transhumanist/atheist here. Effects are mostly subtle. The non-racemic Nuvigil may be slightly better, but I wouldn't expect much.

What was the Wolverine producer's reaction to the copying of an early draft of the movie? Shoot him.
Anything Singularity-related in your view? That's the future, and is by nature multi-disciplinary.
Then you'd get a first cut at this stuff. Are we geeky enough?

The girl's ass.
Work gives me two 1600*1200 that I put side to side. Gotta say I prefer the 30 inch (2560*1600) at home.
You. Rock.
More screen real estate.
Why not beg people to send you money?
This type of research could help lead to the Singularity, though. It's not the most direct path, though.
Check back after the Singularity.
I have. Sure, sometimes I have to hold a laugh, but the other guy next to me doesn't do it. Time to work from home a bit more.
Those guffaws are annoying.
"Everyone has a great idea for a CAPTCHA"
No. I don't. Sorry about that.
What about .us? Seems like you're making a connection between the United States and mp3 or something.
Singularity
What if the Singularity went down today?

Thanks.
Despite being an elegant and technologically sound solution, I think IPv6 will be adopted universally within a few years.
