I always wondered where I got my specific fettish, and then I realized that 'stewardesses' is the longest word you can type with just your left hand...
There is a Geoffrey A. Landis short story that won the Hugo a few years ago about exiling criminals to Mars. Really good read, as is his novel Mars Crossing.
Also the mentioned RGB Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson is worth a read. The last two get kind of hokey, but they taught me the basic idea of how terraforming Mars would take place. I.e. giant mirrors, melting ice comets in the atmosphere, causing seismic activity to release gases, etc.
In Robinson's books most of the terraforming takes place within a few hundred years, but in reality it would probably be more like a few hundred thousand years before Mars' atmosphere becomes Earth-like. If it every does become technologically feasible I truly think that terraforming Mars should become a top priority. I doubt anyone would ever be willing to cough of the money for it, but for the long term benefit of the human race it really is important.

What are they talking about? I am posting this comment from my iPhone with the new firmware, and I haven't noticed any prob/#$%#*CARRIER DROP*
What is the Air Force doing in charge of America's cyber warfare abilities?
It seems to me that we should have a specialized agency, or perhaps even a military branch, for cyber warfare.
I think someone already invented this a while back. They're called "highway overpasses."
Neanderthals... Ancient Cave bears...
These people need to stop reading old books and get back to science.
Unless they're willing to put both groups in a room and lock the door.
Anyone know if there is a .bac domain for bacteria cultures?
Wouldn't lightning toilet water be really dangerous?
"Worse, cows might be attracted to the weeds growing over mines, with disastrous consequences."
I think it's pretty obvious we have a winner.
Remember a few years ago when ol' Georgie boy was talking about how he didn't want Star Wars to turn into something like Star Trek?
I'll just leave it at that...

Doesn't Viagra do this already?
No, we just need Shatner to donate his penis to the cause.
What next, suggesting people use the silicon in their computers as a breast implant?
You mean like Seven of Nine?
"Yeah, it was a volcano eruption"
No, it wasn't a volcano eruption. It was the Big Bang.
Next time, be sure to say it's the largest man-made non-nuclear that-has-yet-to-occur type of explosion on Earth.

No, we should withold judgment in ICQ because it is impossible to get through their horrible website interface.
I see the vehicle's creator reads, and posts on /.

"closer look at the porn industry" I sense an ulterior motive.
Personally, I don't care too much if someone sees me taking a shower. But I do not want someone to see me taking a crap.
Aimbots have been around in CS for years. Is this really news?
Usually I pay $0 after rebate for my CDs, or if I'm lucky -$0.01. Hard to beat that.
You're mixing up the general public with the /. crowd. We've already read 3-4 times about how CDs degrade over the years.
I always get Bit Torrent, and from there Office, Photoshop, etc.
