Each track was a 'classical' piece that was for a certain 'mood' in the game. Just building an army? Mellow tunes. Going to war! The music gets going and so does your blood! One of the nices things was that each track was an actual audio track on the CD. I've ripped them and occasionally listen to them outside the game. Fantastic stuff.

Where does it say 'against a race different from yourself'?
Ya know, I was around when this thing first came out, and I remember thinking to myself "who cares" at the time. Her site was boring. The only reason it caught on was the occasional flash of nudity to keep the geeks watching. If it weren't for that it would've died a long time ago...
And you sound like the type of guy who would fuck sheep. Does that mean you are?
No, I would not 'beat my children' to teach them that the world is harsh. I would simply teach them that the world is hash, and prepare them for it you moron.
Sometimes I think slashdotters are proof God exists, and that he hates us...
I think we can all agree that the real enemy is rabid nationalism and religious fanaticism, that's why Bush needs to be impeached.
Yeah, because Bush should be looking after other nations rather than his own, and kicking stained glass windows out.
This will make him a 'better' leader....because...hm.
Many folks on this board need to realize at some point that the world is not a nice* place, being 'nice' to people who don't want to be 'nice' typically ends up with your own ass getting kicked. Diplomacy only works if *both* sides want diplomacy.
Tell me. Out of the two choices here (Hammer/Kind word), which are the terrorists using? And if I brought a hammer to your house to beat you with, which would you defend yourself with?
How many kind words will sway a man who tortured and killed his own son-in-law? Are you going to get him to see the error of his ways?
I wish the entire world believed only in peace. Then I could conquor it with a butter-knife!
Who do these people think they are? God?
No my naive friend, they think they are the leaders of countries with a duty to defend the people who live in those countries. Sometimes this needs to be done with force, and sometimes it also needs to be taken to foreign lands. Our president saw a terrorist friendly nation as an indirect and a direct threat to the people of the United States.
And what I'm trying to say is, the way America is trying to fight this war is, like trying to kill a fly with a nuclear bomb. Maybe they should use there resources more effectively
Well, we have managed to outspend our enemy, but IMHO we are fighting a tougher battle too. Their targets are "anybody western", and they only need to kill a few to have a large impact. We're targeting specific individuals who are 'somewhere in the middle east'. Much of what's been going on in Afghanistan is not a 'nuclear bomb' approach, but much more special operations stuff. Which, I believe, is the correect approach. Iraq was different because there was a standing army to remove, and we need more manpower to keep Iraq from degrading back to a despotic regime. Hence the army gets involved...
And in these times when men are willing to sacrifice their lives by crashing planes and strapping bombs to themselves, that EMP won't do you much good. How does an EMP stop the guy in a heavily populated area from emptying an M16 into a crowd, or blowing up a U-Haul full of kerosene and fertilizer? So long as people are dedicated to their cause, they will fight, with or without their Palm Pilots. The Romans did.
They don't get it? Sounds like *you* don't get it buddy. Or maybe you have some urge to state the fucking obvious as though it were pure genius? This isn't a replacement for covert operations, and dilligence. It's a new weapon to stop a known target. But I guess that was fairly obvious wasn't it? Why did I have to explain this to yoy?
That's why the Bush method for fighting terrorismn is not working: cost America 100 + billion dollars, Al Queda nothing (in comparison)
Sooo, we should spend less on fighting terrorism? Just stop fighting all together? "Open Source" the war against terrorism? Find a cheaper war to fight?
I fail to see why the war is a failure because it cost money.
Also, Al Queda *does* spend quite a bit of money too (remember the U.S. trying to freeze assets?). Arms dealers aren't working for free ya know.
If nothing else, defending yourself against a bully at least teaches the bully that their are consequences for his actions. He may not learn that violence is bad, but at least he learns that he can be on the receiving end of it if he provokes a fight.
Exactly! It's like slapping a dog on the nose when it does something wrong. Bullies aren't much brighter.
How does your kids intelligence help him while he's being punched in the face repeatedly?
I'd rather teach my kids 'self-respect'. Defending oneself is natural, and feels a lot better than getting your ass kicked.
I'm not saying he should go punching everyone who calls him names, but if he's punched in the face, he should stand up for himself. Sometimes you have no choice.
I hate peace-nuts who tell you that defending yourself from bodily harm is 'bad'. Sure, violence may not solve anything, but at least you're not the only one with a bloody nose after all is said and done.
I wish I knew where all these pacivists lived. I could conquer them with a spoon and live like a King. (tongue in cheek).
Umn. I think you've got a pretty twisted view of the world there buddy... 3,000+ people were killed. This is not a T.V. show. And you think it's a power-grab by the U.S. government? I guess Hitler also helped the U.S. government by providing a helpful scapegoat too?
You can't govern a good man.
Who do you think votes for these people? I can sorta see your cynicism, but I believe you carry it a bit too far. The governemnt does do some good things you know. I for one am happy (and proud) of the stance the U.S. government has taken on terrorism. We were hit *hard*, and we've shown that we're not going to take it. Many Americans feel this way. I don't think the government is so much 'controlling' our beliefs as it is reflecting them. But since you may not agree with them, you believe it's the former...
Yes, because Europe has never had any enemies. Nope, no-siree! Well, except for those two World Wars. But until then nothing! Just peace! Oh, but there were the romans, and galls, and crusades, and Napoleon, and Hrm.. But at least the English and French have always gotten along! Except for those hundred years wars...
But at least there have been no big wars within the last 50 years and everybody now loves each other! That's right. I went there. Silly Americans. Why can't they see Europe as the land of peace and tranquility that it is? It's so much nicer being pretentious euro-trash.
If I send you an email offering you the same penis enlargment, would you:
a) Call the cops
b) Take matters into your own hands
There is a large difference between the destruction of private property and a few annoying emails. When email becomes 'damaging' (flooding a server for instance) then that act should be punishable. But for your day-to-day spam? No. I'd rather choose "b" and run spamassassin, and know that should I ever send an email to a friend asking about mortgage help that the FBI won't accuse me of spamming.
Don't ask the govenrment to do too much. They usually take the "large sword" approach where a scalpel may be more appropriate.
Scary that somebody believes that anything annoying should have a *federal law* against it.
Would you like to be notified when the U.S. becomes a military state, or would you rather be thrown up against the wall when the time comes?
Every day I wish people would stop putting more and more control of their daily lives into the hands of Uncle Sam. Remember, the more control the government has, the less control you have.
Slashdot Mirror
And, and, and, the last time I posted? Sombody made fun of me. And I hate green. And I don't like Tacos either.
Buddy, quit yer bitching. It's only slashdot for Christ sake.
Older 3-D RTS game, but best soundtrack *ever*!

Where does it say 'against a race different from yourself'?
IF you had READ the article, he mentions that many of the myths are general to all software development, and that only SOME are specific to OSS.
I assume they'll be giving free EZ Tag's out? How do they expect people from out of state to use the road?
Ya know, I was around when this thing first came out, and I remember thinking to myself "who cares" at the time. Her site was boring. The only reason it caught on was the occasional flash of nudity to keep the geeks watching. If it weren't for that it would've died a long time ago...
Only in America and Europe is it considered "normal" for a woman to be overweight.
Yeah, those small corners of the world...
And you sound like the type of guy who would fuck sheep. Does that mean you are?
No, I would not 'beat my children' to teach them that the world is harsh. I would simply teach them that the world is hash, and prepare them for it you moron.

A kind word is cheaper than a hammer.

Criminals and boogey men and terrorists
Yeah, it's not like sombody blew up the fucking world trade center or anything.
Yes, because Europe has never had any enemies. Nope, no-siree! Well, except for those two World Wars. But until then nothing! Just peace! Oh, but there were the romans, and galls, and crusades, and Napoleon, and Hrm.. But at least the English and French have always gotten along! Except for those hundred years wars...

(Oh, and 'sheep' *is* plural, no 's' needed).
a) Not all vulnerabilities are 'known' or announced in a timely manner.
b) Nobody's perfect about installing patches.
c) Even if b is false, services that are running and working 'properly' may be giving out more information than you would like.
Often it's best to not allow people outside your 'trusted' network access to your computer.
Me neither. Most of those links don't exist, or even make sense. Looks like a script gone ary?
If I send you an email offering you the same penis enlargment, would you:
