    Yesterday you said your birthday was coming up. We wanted to wish you a good one, because this will be your last birthday before you get Bonked and replaced by TripMaster Monkey as Games editor. We sure hope you enjoy it.

    Oh, and speaking of TMM, we asked him what he was going to do for your birthday and he said ^_^

    Love from the Slashdot crowd.

    Am I glad that my US tax dollars have paid for the Russian space agency to privatize space tourism to the ISS. I can't wait to spend even more money on Russian space tours for myself, knowing that we've all pitched in so the richest people on Earth can finally literally look down on "all the little people" who made this possible.

      Why aren't these TrollMods posting in cyrillic? Are they waiting for a US taxpayer subsidy to actually disagree?
