That's odd...because it won't load, even from my boot menu. How do I make that boot disk thing?

Right, right. But we're mostly speaking of the sensationalism of the tale, I beleive. King Arthur is much more exciting and noble as a medieval knight, and more accessible as a figure to base your tales on. Much more than a Dark Age warlord
-
I'd like to point out that the story of King Author is far older than that of Lord of the Rings. In any case, it's more likely that it's the other way around.
I believe the original Authorian legend was written by a French knight, and the book was entitled "L'Morte D'Arthur"

So. I downloaded Knoppix version...3.6...or 3.7. The latest one. And then I burn it onto a standard data CD-R and all that. However, it doesn't work on both computers I've tried it on. Also, the things I downloaded are these files:
KNOPPIX_V3.7-2004-12-08-EN.iso
KNOPPIX_V3.7-2004-12-08-EN.iso.md5
KNOPPIX_V3.7-2004-12-08-EN.iso.md5.asc
KNOPPIX_V3.7-2004-12-08-EN.iso.sha1
KNOPPIX_V3.7-2004-12-08-EN.iso.sha1.asc
KNOPPIX-CHANGELOG.txt
packages.txt
README
About 715,000KB are in on the first, and the rest are scattered about. The Read-me is only 1KB, and doesn't work, or have an extension. I have this suspicion that these aren't the right files. Shouldn't there be folders or something? Or at least a readable read-me?
Help me!

Anyway, how 'bout that Hubble? I hear it's being deserted.
=P

We, the United States, didn't do any sort of imperialization in the Middle East. At least we didn't until the last couple of years. And since we clearly do not care about repressive regimes, even if we "believe" that they have Nuclear-Biological-Chemical weaponry, holding back an agressive Iran or Turkey wouldn't be too hard. Not only can we bank on the support of Israel (they would enjoy the weakening of their enemies), we can also understand that most Muslims do not like Kurds in any case, and wouldn't mind them leaving. Unless they took too much oil. However, the average Iranian or Turkey (mistake intended) will probably not wish to fight too hard, because they do not see the benefits of black money, anyway.
Furthermore, a militaristic invasion of a Kurdistan would be made difficult. Particularly if a force of say, a division or two of U.S. Cavalry (most tanks are in Iraq, because they don't do much there except scare small children and break down in sandstorms). Kurdish nationalists are plenty, and with American arms, they could easily create position defensible enough to discourage invasion, as well as hold it off, if needed.
Finally, we drew up the borders, anyway. Who's to say it would be too much of a pain to draw them once again?

Excellent work! I didn't want it to end.

It's almost required for an RTS to have free online servers, nowadays. I'd donate if I had money.
Is there anyway that a system could be implemented in which people could act as servers accesible through a website? Like in Battlefield 1942. There's a program that allows you to be a dedicated server on the game. I dunno if that's feasible.
-
Or were they?
Dun dun DUN!
Maybe. Probably not. I think there was a tribe by that name in Madagascar. Or a group of monkeys.
-
Thanks. I just feel like I should give back to the organization who's creating the most awesome game ever. Oh. And without making me pay a dime. Which is good, because all I have is a nickle. Nickel. Nickle.
Thanks again.
-
Sorry. I just don't know much about it. I know just about as much about it as I know about Luxembourg. Actually...I know more about Luxembourg. Sorry. I'm a product of the American educational system.
-
Not so much pyschic as stalkerific. Muhahahaha. I'm watching you.
Dun dun DUN!

We have a chance to stabilize, I suppose. However, the Kyoto Protocol that was supposed to limit this sort of pollution was rejected by the two greatest gross polluters, the U.S. and China. It is possible, but entirely improbable, unless both nations have a change in attitudes.
-
They are repressed to that point where ancestral homelands aren't that big of a deal. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the Kurds were/are a nomadic sort of people. Containment was brought about by colonization and now by the ruling states.
-
Well, the Belgian nationality had existed before that, I would imagine. It's actually a lot like what America did to the Native Americans. Though most of that was approved by the people.
-
Lol. Commercialization in your brains. It's for "Taco Bell", who, surprisingly, makes tacos, instead of hamburgers (like every other major food chain). Then again, tacos are a Central American thing. Darn. I think you should know what a taco is. Look it up?
Taco Bell used "just add water" beef in their products. Mmm...just like mom used to process.

He reminds me of Hernando Cortez, for some reason. Except with a big pole instead of an arquebus. I hope it was an arquebus. Don't eat me if I'm wrong, Paul.

As much as I dislike the Carthaginians, I have to admit that it's an awesome work. Good job. Don't stop rockin'.

I don't like losing to computers, so I'll cheat if I'm going to lose against one. I'd never, ever, ever cheat against another human. It goes against everything.

I can agree to semi-exhaustible resources...but, honestly, farms and mines can be active for hundreds of years without having to be refreshed. Italy has made wine from vineyards that stem back to midieval times. Perhaps trees should be exhaustible. It's hard, given that an RTS has limitations on how many trees can be shown.

Oh, yeah. It was the Belgians. I was mistaking one instance of imperial oppression for another. I think it's expressing anger from being impotent as a nation for so long. Not entirely too sure.
Anyway. Whether or not actual machine guns were used is beside the point. Genocide is genocide, whether you directly do it or not. Did Hitler personally exterminate many Jews? No. There was even one or two Arabic S.S. divisions who participated in various acts of "controlling" the population in their respective home nations.
-
On Congo....the people were masscred by the Dutch using machine guns and . Yay for progress. Even now, Congo is a "Communist" dictatorship with a technological equivalent lower than that of most Third World nations.
Agricultural science is not what's debated here; I think we should spend more on it. Looking at unreachable objects and dust clouds doesn't stop world hunger.
-
Lol. I figured as much, but covering almost the entire audio program stuff seems even more daunting than any of the other discriptions I've read for jobs.

This isn't science in general! This is viewing space with such objects as the Hubble telescope. At least (for half of the nation) the military is serving a vital purpose against the terrorists. Knowing how far stars are away from us serve little purpose, and most people deny the Big Bang even though the evidence from space points otherwise. It's mostly useless to explore unreachable space through telescopes, and hardly effective for the money.

I've actually been getting two or three a day with Firefox, but I think that it's some spyware I haven't bothered to deal with. My silly siblings use Internet Explorer, still. Even though I've introduced them to Firefox.
