If you knew how to play you'd know the proper build order to stop a rush. Yes BUILD ORDER.
6-7 on mineral Barracks build 3 more scv,use an scv to find the chokee point then build a supply dupot on that choke point and put the other two scv on mineral.
build a bunker and marines, fill the bunker with marines, build another supply dupot in front of a new bunker, then fill that with marines, have 4 marines in each and when you get rushed by the zerglings and whatever,they will attack what they see first which is your dupots, your marines will use bullets and shoot them, you can repair the bunkers if they get past the dupots (zealots) as they attack you repair, if the bunkers blow up, use all your scv in the attack, no rush gets through this, then put your scv back on minerals and rebuild for the next wave.
Your partner all during this time should be teching up and expanding. So when they finally do destroy your base if they are double teaming you, you can escape to your partners base, your partner can then come in with air, game over, rushers lose.
Starcraft, unless you play on that bloodbath math built for zergs, its easy as hell to defend against a rush.
Dont play on big game hunters with unlimited minerals, and strategy is the only thing which works, rushing is a strategy but only newbies rush. Its easy to defend against a rush and once you do defend against the first few marines, zerglings or whatever, you'll have tanks and from there you scout them to see what they have, if they are still building zerglings and marines go air with cloaked wraths and kill all their workers if they have alot of marines, then you expand and get a mineral advantage and let them waste their resources on building ground troops.
Its all about strategy, resource management, timing, and tactics.
Tactics such as bringing SCV with your marines to enhance your attack and building bunkers in front of their base, so they cannot use a ground counter attack or use an worker to scout you, or properly positioning a tank so it can hit their workers from a cliff.
Because if i wanted the windows using script kiddies here to write new winnuke apps and hack everyone usingg XP and ME, I'd tell the exploit
But i dont, because 1 its most likely against DMCA, and 2, if i did tell everyone here, hows it going to benifit anyone but script kiddies?
I'll tell you one thing, you can hack them via universal plug and play, you can hack them via internet explorer, you can hack them via MSN, Outlook, Microsoft word,
Security? Every single program just able has a backdoor exploit which lets you break into their m achine from the net, or lets you destroy their machine by running certain files or overwriting certain files, not to mention you can use buffer overflows to crash their box.
How about we set up a petition, Because i refuse to use XP. XP is so insecure that a day ago I found a way to break into almost any XP box with certain features turned on.
What I want is for Blizzard to work with transgaming for a port.
Broadband? We would need fibre optic, gig per second kinda speeds.
Also even with these kinds of speeds, how would you keep a game in sync? what about errors? how would you save? distributed too? What would keep me from cheating by worse, using the PS3 to bypass the SSSCA law and use it as a computer to share my mp3s?
It was shut down before they implemented features for artists to get paid and believe me it was in Napsters best interests to generate revenue.
Mp3.com had a business plan, Napster did not.
I've purchased CDs from mp3.com.
No name bands? Bands are no named because the record companies have a monopoly, destroy their monopoly and no name bands will become popular in their own right.
Mp3.com was a good example. alot of so called no named bands made hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Napster was used to get Music from MTV because Napster didnt have enough time to develop its own market.
Its true, you cant have the old and new. You have one or the other. MTV would eventually begin playing Mp3.com bands if the record companies lost their Just like OEMs will eventually pack in Linux once Microsoft loses its monopoly.
Thats true if record companies offered better quality and more songs people would still buy from them MAYBE, but thats not the point.
The point is, the internet FREES musicians from record companies, and frees consumers.
Musicians and Fans now have direct access to each other, if you like a song you can pay a musician a buck, a buck doesnt sound like much but to a musician who has millions of fans, thats far more money than they'd get from record companies.
Musicians with millions of fans could offer a subscription service, ISPs do it, Cable companies do it, why shouldnt musicians?
You dont have to sell content if you sell access to the content.Once content is released its released and its free, but someone has to pay for it to be released. If you think some artist with millions of fans, wont be able to get a few hundred thousand of those fans if not all of those fans to subscribe, then you are crazy.
Especially if its like a dollar a month. Hell alot of people would pay a dollar a track.
Redhat is a new company, all new companies struggle.
But if you dont like Redhat, check out amazon.com,or Ebay, both offer a service, they make money while still being free to us.
AOL is an ISP, most of their money comes from that, which is why they were able to buy Time Warner, Time Warner is a cable company, a magazine company, all of these things are services.
AOL controls your access to information, they do NOT sell information, the only part which sells information is the movie part of time warner, and that part is much smaller than the AOL, Cable, News and Magazine part.
Musicians have supported napster, the majority of musicians do not have record deals, they are playing music in subway stations, and having concerts barely surviving, these people see napster as a way to make big bucks in the same way people saw the internet as a way to make money.
While you are right, most people on napster wont pay for their music, fact is, they'll create fans, so more people will go to their concerts, buy their tshirts, and eventually the musicians will be able to set up a website and offer new songs directly to these people via a subscription service.
Yes you CAN make money with napster around, see you only listen to rich artists like metallica,
Thats as bad as only listening to rich CEOs asking them what they think about social security and the reccession, and then saying its the publics opinion.
Just because rich elite musicians are in the media all the time, doesnt change the fact that hundreds of thousands of musicians really made a living from stuff like mp3.com, and napster
Saying Musicians cant be paid is saying AOL doesnt get paid when you download the free AIM.
Musicians can provide a service, a subscription service for a small fee from which all their fans will subscribe to for say, a dollar a month.
Every month the musician releases a new song, the musician makes a dollar a song instead of a dollar a CD, the musician makes ALOT more money without record companies.
You dont get it, we still need musicians to make the music,
its a service, say you want water, sure water could be free, but someone has to open the gates to let the water flow through your pipes. What I'm saying is, once the gates are opened, anyone can access the water, but if theres a toll on the gate, a group of people who want water will pay.
Basically, only fans should pay, everyone else should just wait until the music is paid for and download it. Theres no one forcing Musicians to make music, which means they can charge a fee to make the music itself instead of charging for the CD.
You dont understand the cause. Do you know what GNU and GPL is about? Open Source?
Theres two groups in this country. The group which wants informations to be free, which is against patents, and intellectual property, then you have the group which wants information to be owned.
Both sides can make money, its proven, Redhat and AOL make as much money as Microsoft and Disney,
You can make money selling the services and hardware, or you can make money trying to sell the code.
Problem is, anyone can make code, anyone can produce and distribute it, and we can do it better than record companies, we dont need them anymore
We still need Sony to make our CD players, AOL for our internet connection, Musicians for making the music
We dont need Microsoft and RIAA.
This WAR isnt about laziness, its about technology, technology is making the record industry obsolete, and its changing the software industry to a service industry. Instead of the RIAA adapting, they want to control, they are like Microsoft, trying to keep their monopoly.
Oil Companies use oil not because oil is the only form of energy or the best, its used because the Oil Industry, The Enrons, they have monopoly to maintain and while we can get free energy from stuff like Water, Air, Sunlight, which can power a car for 12 or more hours, (thats more than enough power to last for days) instead we are still paying a fortune for gas, cars are still using gas, the energy in our house while it could be self generated, people still are using oil,
Face it, oil isnt needed anymore, perhaps there was a time when oil was the only thing there but when theres alternatives that benifit the masses, we should follow these technologies.
Napster and File Sharing benifits the masses, the majority of people in the world want it, what happened to democracy?
The only people who are anti napster are CEOs, and elite musicians who have no talent like britney spears and others.
Lightning guns Tasers Mace Bullet Proof Vest Tear Gas
You cant buy that, but you can walk right into walmart and buy a shotgun, hell even a machine gun.
We dont need guns anymore period, we have better safer more effective weapons for self defense, of course gun companies just like oil/gas companies have to protect their industries.
Pirates will be in demand, people will pay them money to install mod chips on PCs, and people will buy CD collections from pirates, and other illegal software. This will simply make a black market, dont be surprised if the mafia and organized crime gets involved and people start dying over it.
Its bad enough they ruined the internet, now they want to take the whole computer away from us.
We are letting them bully us and slap us around, sure we have linux and other ways to fight back, but we really need to turn up the heat, I'm talking rallys with thousands of people, at campus's everywhere, and we should protest using our best advantage, the technology.
Develop freenet, or stuff like freenet, think of ways to break all hardware copy protection schemes before they put them in place and post them all over the net, think of ways to keep the technologgy inn our control and not disney.
Radio based internet access Computer kits which allow anyone to build their own computer easily, hardware or chips which break the SSSCA chips, and dont just end there, publish every little exploit, hack, or way to harm the SSSCA on freenet so it cant be censored.
Most people using Napster are college students and Adult age, the kids using napster are in minority, although there are some teenagers who used it.
Teenagers cant vote, but its these teenagers who started writing stuff like gnutella and replacements for napsters, while all the silly adults were faxing their congressmen and having petitions.
All of these people wasting their time faxing people and making phone calls could be doing something to stop this.
Learn Java, and help with freenet development before they outlaw open source development.
Donate as much money as you can to EFF because these are the people who will defend us when all our software is outlawed.
Support lobbying groups which stand up for us, write letters thanking intel and telling them that you plan to boycott their competitor AMD and support them exclusively.
Write letters to people at AOL, and other big software companies instead of to congress and senate, these big companies actually will listen because you are their source of income.
Afterall, if all the people who love baseball will sit back and let you outlaw it, why not do it? If they just call and mail you that they dont like what you are doing but they dont do anything, why not?
What are you going to do to prevent the SSSCA from passing?
Telling them you dont likee it, is like asking the bully to please stop hitting you.
Did petitions stop the DMCA? Did Petitions stop the Patriot Act? Did Petitions from 80 million people save Napster? What about Petitions from all the morpheus users?
Face it, these guys KNOW we dont support this, they dont CARE.
Its that simple, so writing them wont change a damn thing.
You have to fight them on their level, via lobbying groups of our own, have huge rallys, help the freenet project, donate money, protest by doing something.
I'm sick of people who just write some letter to some office which the senate or congress never reads or cares about.
IF you want action, you protect with a few million people in front of washington, and threaten to riot, have it all get captured on national TV, raise money from such an event, you cant just tell them with words you dont like this bill, you have to show them with actions.

Thats TACTICS!!!!!
Strategy is in building, planning, and managing resources
You people like tactics.
You know, massive groups of units using tactics to kill each other.
Strategy is planning, and yes rushing is a strategy.

Yes BUILD ORDER.

This is why rushing only works on newbies.
Starcraft, unless you play on that bloodbath math built for zergs, its easy as hell to defend against a rush.
Dont play on big game hunters with unlimited minerals, and strategy is the only thing which works, rushing is a strategy but only newbies rush. Its easy to defend against a rush and once you do defend against the first few marines, zerglings or whatever, you'll have tanks and from there you scout them to see what they have, if they are still building zerglings and marines go air with cloaked wraths and kill all their workers
if they have alot of marines, then you expand and get a mineral advantage and let them waste their resources on building ground troops.
Its all about strategy, resource management, timing, and tactics.
Tactics such as bringing SCV with your marines to enhance your attack and building bunkers in front of their base, so they cannot use a ground counter attack or use an worker to scout you, or properly positioning a tank so it can hit their workers from a cliff.

Universal Plug and Play, I can take over your entire machine if its turned on. Yes your entire machine would be OWNED.
Wheres your security? Even Windows95 wasnt that bad.
How about we set up a petition, Because i refuse to use XP. XP is so insecure that a day ago I found a way to break into almost any XP box with certain features turned on.
What I want is for Blizzard to work with transgaming for a port.
Broadband? We would need fibre optic, gig per second kinda speeds.
Also even with these kinds of speeds, how would you keep a game in sync? what about errors? how would you save? distributed too? What would keep me from cheating by worse, using the PS3 to bypass the SSSCA law and use it as a computer to share my mp3s?
Distributed Consoles? no. I can believe we'd have a distributed OS, a distrubuted computer, but these computers could never be used for games.
Distrubuted computing would be impossible unless everyone had Fibre optics, theres just too much latency.
It was shut down before they implemented features for artists to get paid and believe me it was in Napsters best interests to generate revenue.
