With the popular response to our recent space survey, I thought it would be fun to do a new one, on the topic of the week -- the Singularity. So if you have an opinion about how/when/where/why the Singularity is going to occur (or not occur), please take a moment to set us straight on the matter.

Seven Questions About the Singularity

UPDATE: The definitions of hard and soft takeoff used in this survey are nonstandard or, as one kindly reader put it, "simply wrong." I shall attempt to update the survey without killing the current results. Yes, this will compromise our otherwise pristine, unassailable scientific methodology.

We'll never get funding at this rate!

LATER UPDATE: I replaced Hard and Soft Takeoff with made-up names of my own choosing. The results were not harmed. Looks like we're back on track for a major research grant. Checks can be made payable to P. Bowermaster.
