Then I suggest that Slashdot starts covering other countries' national politics as well, introducing 174 little "Kazakhstan" and "Micronesia" customization boxes in Preferences;. What happens in Japan or China is of quite some impact for development of free speech on the net, for example. We'll let the thing run for a couple of months and then count the complains from Americans who are sick with the foreign stuff that is being shoved down their throats. No colonizing Mars comment this time.
Well, let's sit back, have a Mars and colonize it instead of worrying about the moral implications of ripping brain tissue out of living creatures and using it for powering faster calculating machines of one sort or the other. Being a scientist myself, I must say that I feel that we scientists appear to be slowly going mad. Fools! I'll destroy them all!
Caches are extremely useful when you are out there in the wilds. You can't really be expected to carry all sorts of crap with you all the time, so it's really convenient to have someone else put things into caches for you to find. The ultimate strategy for colonizing Mars, I presume.
I think videogames are a problem. I remember playing Colonize Mars! for ages, which was quite a rude game at the time, and in the end I continually ended up having nightmares and stuff. Whoa!
Slashdot Mirror
Who here knows what my "human legal name" is? Everyone online knows me by either my Norwegian nickname (Skaperen) or my Swedish nickname (Skapare).
Except those whom you've told that your name is Phil Howard. And people on the sites where you created accounts under your real name. And so on.

LetsBuyDeja.com has enticing offers on miniature zebras and Mars colonization. This is a hoax.
For everyone who understood the headline: Go colonize Mars instead! (BTW, it's actually a different link from last time.)
Well, after reading the headline you'd probably expect something profound, but all you get is the usual comment:
How about colonizing Mars instead?

How sad! Now all that's left is dreary, Hemos-posted stories on terraforming Mars...
Wow! Imagine how they might use the money in colonizing Mars instead!

I have a problem seeing Slashdot turn into some kind of national US media coverage. As you probably gather from the decrepit (I'm not sure if this link is nexessary. It's pathetic anyway, so in contrary to established Web principles, please don't follow it) state of my English, I'm not from the US, instead I'm from Vee-haf-vayz-of-makink-yoo-talk -land; so, frankly, all this Slashdot coverage is of absolutely no use or interest to me, and neither is it for the 6.8 billion people on Earth who happen to be non-US citizens. Please stop it. Thank you. Cover stories like colonizing Mars instead.

...is to colonize Mars!
Imagine the crucial rule this totally crappy gadget might have in the epic human attempt to terraform Mars!
All we have to do is to colonize Mars!
Imagine the implications this has on the colonization of Mars!
Wow! Imagine colonizing Mars with this!
BTW: Did you now that this could aid us in the colonization of Mars?
