    Bah. Plutonium is a non-renewable resource. You'll run out eventually. Food, on the other hand...

  4. Re:Yes, but will it have Metallica? on Alpine Legend Revolutionizes Music Game Genre · · Score: 1

    Or use IPv6. Plenty for all.

  5. Re:btw on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    I sense scripts coming up which frequent /. once a day.

    Unnecessary. Some of us don't use /.'s RSS feed because it isn't updated often enough.

    robably (1044462):

    I'm guessing "The Maker" is starting a comment thread, rather than just replying to a comment.

    Really?

  15. Lousy marketing on Volunteers Simulate Mission To Mars · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The amazing thing is that 5,600 people applied to be part of the experiment.

    I know it's not much to work with, but people won't apply if they don't know about it. They could have gotten an easy 1K more just by posting here.

  16. Re:I just shit an obama on Irish Domain Registry Banning Adult Domains · · Score: 1

    the slightly larger U.S. Shitload are competing standards.

    Ubuntu gets 25% longer battery life on my netbook...
