    I think the X-Prize would get slashdot coverage anyway, but John Carmacks presence makes it downright fascinating.

    I've wondered if John has more fans than any other slashdot user. Check out his fan list. Does anyone come close? How about that steak sauce guy, Perens ? Sorry - SexxyGal doesnt count, since the letters "Sex" causes so much confusion in this community.
