Frank Tipler is 61 years old and turns 62 on Feb. 1st.  I really don't see
him living long enough to see the Singularity.  On the other hand, I think
my two year-old nephew has a very good chance of making it.  Hopefully,
Tipler's Omega Point theory will prove true so that his passing in a few
decades won't matter.
