    Wasn't that one introduced as a "save their ass" device? And wasn't it being maxed out just to keep the city running, it couldn't actually provide any defenses for the city?

    I'm against abortion and I'm for stem cells, just not the embryonic variety

  16. Re:Embryonic stem cells shouldn't be replaced on Neurons Created Directly From Skin Cells · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm sorry there was a "need" for embryonic stem cells? Was there a break through that I missed? I was under the impression that embryonic cells would be great because they can be turned into anything, and are ready to go right after they are harvested, but they have a very high rejection rate and have been known to introduce other problems.
     
    That's why all techniques using stem cells use adult stem cells.

    Actually there is a powertoy that gives you virtual desktops, called desktops. There are some limitations, such as you can't move stuff between desktops, and some apps get pissy about launching; once you learn to live with the limitations its a great app to have.
