We now think Milky Way is twice the size than what we had previously thought. Using "is" makes it sound like they actually know how big it is this time around.
Chess however does not equal to AI. Nor does it even require AI, as brute force inspection of each move is enough to play it well. As you point out, time becomes a limiting factor in that case and some smarts (on the chess playing algorithm writer's part) are needed.
It does not matter how long does it take to compute a thought (if thought is computational at all). Is is a software problem (if it is tractable). So, if your company has something that can do this but it takes a 10 years to compute, rather than a millisecond, that is indeed huge. However, I seriously doubt that you do.
Now you sound like Muslims advocating Sharia law to prevent rape. So what if the little girls dress as sluts. It should not turn you into a pedophile if you are surrounded by provocatively dressed kids all the time.
if your code is not Java, then I go back to Vim and ctags as a fast start that can be setup in a few minutes (and it works for everything from assembler to Java). It will help you navigate code fast, follow function calls etc, but it won't help you visualize class hierarchies or help you to figure out all the places a function is called from like Eclipse does for Java.
Your best bet is to look for a good IDE specific to the language the code is written in. But as far as I know nothing comes close to the power of Eclipse exploration tools for Java, for other languages since not even Eclipse works as well for say C/C++ as it does for Java.
The church is a keeper and defender of faith. So, any wrong teaching should be corrected which is the duty of the institution to guard the deposit of faith left to it by its founder Jesus Christ.
You can choose to accept that or not. It doesn't matter either way. For those who believe in Jesus, they are convinced that gates of hell will not prevail against it because Jesus said so:). For those who don't, it's completely irrelevant (in their mind at least) and will usually have some cynical remark against the church or faith.
but it is wrong. Science has stopped answering the type of how or why questions and has been relegated to making models that give good predictions. There are no absolute claims from science about objective reality of any kind. The word as we know it is made up of (always evolving) stories. And that's about as good as it will ever get with science (and I'm a mathematician by the way).
Some of the questions asked can't even be studied using scientific methods (not testable), and others could perhaps be modeled by artificial life left to evolve sufficiently long.
It seems no one pointed this out, but in the long run this will lead to less genetic diversity, and perhaps even death of some domestic species as we know them.
Meat producers will find one cow with desired genetic traits (huge, lots of lean meat etc), and keep cloning it, until everyone in the country keeps eating the same cow over and over again literally.
So, in the long run, there will be less genetic diversity, since very few cows live in the wild on their own.
I would not take it. And I'm currently developing (Java) on Windows XP. Either tells you something about me or Microsoft products. You choose which one.

The real answer is that it has become a religion for a log of "singularity" followers.

I'd be happy if Vista had stable drivers by then :).
of algorithm. It has been proven that there are things human brains do that are not algorithmic (or even computational) in nature.
that would solve copying problem for good. Honestly, I don't even want to listen to any commercial crap any more at all. They can have their music.

I'll agree with stable and secure, but sexy it is not.
you know :).
I'm glad there are other people realizing this.

if there is good evidence supporting something, then there is no need for belief.

they will solve all our problems as has been shown time and time again.
I would be very interested in that.

summery means something else and you probably wanted to use summary.
Note to self. Don't post before finishing coffee :D

I can't believe how many people fall for this same joke each time. It's one of the Slashdot memes people, he's not actually serious.
