		<description>I would also like to add that it pisses me off that some neuroscientists will dedicate their entire careers to researching how ONE protein in the brain works, and there are guys like Kurzweil who think they can rebuild the entire thing in no time. Anybody else also notice that Kurzweil is the archetypal necrophobe. I read that article you linked to and he takes care of his health frivolously and obsessively. His claims seem to be made more in blind hope than in logical scientific reasoning.</description>

		<description>I personally believe that this was the perfect way for this series to end and that Spike had to die.Throughout the entire series Spike has been fighting in order to free both him and Julia. The whole thing that i saw his death being was that he is now finally free from everything.Its really a beautiful ending to me.</description>

		<description>Ditto for me - I just spent a week on vacation and now have to juggle WoW with Ramadan - the usual time I&#039;d be online, is now overlapping with the only real guaranteed sleep time I&#039;ll have all day :) so let&#039;s see :P

I need to log in and get the next bank tab setup though..</description>

		<description>I guess that&#039;s true, Spike could be alive and maybe an open window will form for the two. (Faye)
Vicious was a mighty warrior (no matter how insane he was) and only one star went out, why assume it was spikes?
&quot;One eye sees the past, and the other the present.&quot;
His past finally caught up with him, what if the past Spike had died and the Spike in the present could finally live?
Either way if they ever redo it (which I doubt) I hope it&#039;s not another slayer</description>

		<description>My question is: &quot;how can we reverse engineer something we don&#039;t understand?&quot;.  I could ask you to coach an NFL game but you would do a terrible job with no-to-limited knowledge of the intricacies of the sport. To solve the problem you would ask an NFL coach to teach you about the sport. Unfortunately for humans, we do not have a higher power to teach us. We have a student but no professor. Because of this A.I. will fail just like society would fail without teachers. We are stuck with what we know. We have brain imaging technologies to aide us but we face the prospect of reaching a point of incomprehensibility. This is where futurist say biotechnology will come to the rescue. But as Flegling pointed out, we would have to understand how the brain works to be able to build something that could work with it. This is the hole in the arguments of futurists. They state that it will happen, but fail to explain how it will happen. To create biotechnology we would already have to have the assistance of it. This is the brick wall we run in to. As of now neuroscientists are discussing the possibility of the existence of the soul. They say that the chemicals in our brain could be cooperating with a supernatural force (what we identify as the mind).  But others say that what we identify as the soul is simply chemical and nothing more. With such inconclusiveness how can we possibly hope to move forward any time soon. More importantly, how could we possibly prove either side&#039;s argument. There are so many things that need to be worked out before we can hope to progress to transhumanism&#039;s sunlit &quot;utopia&quot;.  The rate of advancement of computational technology is rapid, but the advancement of the  knowledge of what we hope to model with this technology is slower than ever. For example, many neuroscientists say that neuroscience is making &quot;anti-progress&quot; - the more we find out, the less we seem to know. As stated in this article http://www.skeptic.com/the_magazine/featured_articles/v12n02_AI_gone_awry.html , we have no unifying theory of neuroscience. We don&#039;t know what to build, much less how to build it. The article also states this: &quot;The retina (of a single eye) contains about 120 million rods and 7 million cones. Even if each of those 127 million neurons were merely binary, like the beloved 8x8 input grid of the typical artificial neural network (that is, either responded or didn’t respond to light), the number of different possible combinations of input is a number greater than 1 followed by 38,230,809 zeroes. (The number of particles in the universe has been estimated to be about 1 followed by only 80 zeroes.) Testing an artificial neural network with input consisting of an 8x8 binary grid is, by comparison, a small job: such a grid can assume any of 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 configurations — orders of magnitude smaller, but still impossible.&quot; This is a terrific example of the task we are facing and it&#039;s intricacies.</description>

		<description>Hey guys, I don&#039;t think I am going to have much game time in the near future, so just giving a heads up. Ramadan is around the corner for a start, but outside of that my work hours have just been changed so I won&#039;t be online the same time as I have been usually. Anyways, just letting you all know (sorry if this isn&#039;t the correct place to post it, not sure where it should go). :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m pretty sure Spike&#039;s alive.  No indications that he died, he just fell down.

Also, if both Vicious AND Spike died, wouldn&#039;t two stars have gone out?  Vicious was significant enough in that session as well as the series as a whole, he&#039;d warrant a star (Heck, Gren did).

Personally, I don&#039;t think there is a right or wrong answer on that count.  They left it deliberately open ended, so whether you think he&#039;s dead or alive, you have an equal chance of being right.</description>
