  1. Cancer rehab in space? on Making Babies In Space May Not Be Easy · · Score: 1

    If cells don't divide so easily in microgravity ... I see a massively profitable industry of space-therapy opening up in the (probably far, far) future.

  2. Fine for anonymous user on State Lawmaker Wants To Ban Anonymous Posting Online · · Score: 1

    His bill would require posters to register with their real names and e-mail addresses under threat of fines. So how exactly do they intend to prosecute anonymous persons?
  3. Re:This is not about stem cells... on Stem Cell Bill Passes in Australia · · Score: 1

    totempotent and polypotent?

    Surely totipotent and pluripotent. totipotent stem cells are the least differentiated, and so yield the most potential, it is just that we do not know fully how to harness it - since pluripotent stem cells are further down the developmental line to totipotent, then we can use the new legislation to legally derive pluripotent cells, which admittedly are of better use at this moment in time, though resarch needs to be done with totipotenc cells more. And as for multipotent, oligopotent and unipotent HES lines .. these all follow suit.

  4. Probably not on Will Red Hat Survive? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I don't think that it will. It is one of the original heavyweights but in the face of newer and more specialised distros it no longer occupies a suitably small niche in order to ensure its long term continuation.
    In my opinion, most serious developers will keep to a lighter distro, and most newbies will keep to a nice flowery distro such as Ubuntu, which prides itself on ease of use. Red Hat is no longer necesarry. Compettition will inevitably drive it away in the ever dynamic food-web of free software.
