America's Army on Linux
jojor writes "It seems that icculus.org has gotten America's Army to run under Linux, as this screenshot will attest. America's Army is UT based and free (as in beer). More games for Linux, yippeh!" Awesome. I consider America's Army to be one of the best things my government has funded within recent history.

You may not agree with what I'm saying but I'll kill you for my right to say it
"I think it's sad that young people are encouraged to kill other people, and the army even sends out computer games to recruit people!
Why not spend more money on *preventing* war, in stead of *fighting* war?"
Because that would be unpatriotic, Anti-American, Anti-NRA, which makes you a German (or French) Islamic fundamental terrorist supporter from the old Europe.
No. But the fast food joint didn't use the threat of prison to get you to eat there.
I don't know. That one guy who is suing McDonald's seems to act as if he was FORCED to go there.
Only in slashdot are posts of solidarity modded at -1 Redundant, while posts of antagonism are modded as -1 Flamebait.
Maybe they could put that money to use in education. Perhaps teaching the illiterate to spell words like "mean".
It's a great game but as for recruitment? It'd put me off. Scares the xxxx out of me and I get killed a lot.
When you meet a follower of the current US administration's doctrine: 1. Punch him in the face as hard as you can 2. As long as he hasn't fallen to the ground repeat step 1 3. Tell him that it was necessary to punch him because otherwise he might have punched you or gained the abilitry to punch you in a few years 4. When he is getting up again, this shows that you were right, the likelihood of him punching you in the future rises again. Therefore continue with 1. Repeat all this until he admits that the idea of pre-emptive strikes was not meant to be used by anyone else, is actually the same like the "right" of the stronger and doesn't make sense as a general principle.
"This is good how? "Oh, I died, let me just repop." They're recruiting people for war. I personally think they should include a device that gives 10000 volts every time you get killed."
Or they should give all the soldiers the ability to respawn during war. Problem solved!
There's just no way to capture to lack of sleep...
Really? I get a pretty good sense of a lack of sleep from computer games all the time...
