Oh my.  I think I need to get my MacBook fixed sooner rather than later so I can get this built...

I can give it a go on my mac, but I don't know the first thing about compiling UQM on OSX. Do you have an Xcode project or is it done from the command line?

I think that the Precursors (TiLT and VOiD at least) used Reason to create most of those songs, although they have since upgraded to using Protools with high-end sample libraries.

There are different ways to make remixes. In this case (remixing MOD files) you could load up the MOD into a tracker program like Modplug or MilkyTracker and fool around with it there. Or, you might be able to convert it to MIDI and import it into a sequencing program. A lot of the free tools out there are difficult to use for this purpose (In my experience, at least), although if you have a mac you can use garageband.

Here are some of the free tools I've come across:

• Audacity (multi-track digital audio workstation. Good for sound editing, but I wouldn't reccomend trying to use it as a sequencer)
• Rosegarden and BEAST, if you have Linux.
• SawCutter for windows (has a synthesizer and built-in sequencer, but can't import midi- at least for the free version).
• Free VST Synths/Effects that can be used with a Free VST Host (check out all those links!)

But to be honest most of the remixes were probably made with commercial software like Reason, Cubase, Logic, Protools, etc. Maybe even Cakewalk or FL Studio.

Hm... funky.

Debian debian debian.

Sorry, can't help it. I've been running Debian on my server and I love it. The package system is fantastic, you can basically find/install/remove anything you want with a single command.
You do need to be comfortable with the command-line, though.

For a more graphical experience, I've heard good things about the (debian-based) Ubuntu distro.

As for 'Mandriva'... I ran it on my server back when it was called Mandrake, from 8.0 to 10.1 or thereabouts. Very nice distro that focuses on ease-of-use, with a nice graphical setup and configuration/administration panel. My tastes have shifted a bit though, I now prefer a lightweight and highly customizable distro, which is why I love debian so much.

Yes, that's kind of the point...

I don't know of any. As a last-minute option you could always burn and re-rip as ISO, but I'm sure you could find some utility to do the job for you.

I'm curious, what are your opinions on the theory of Modified newtonian dynamics and the proposed theory of Tensor-vector-scalar gravity?
I read an article about these theories and thought they seemed like neat solutions, but I don't know enough about physics to say if they can account for everything and/or are reasonable.

When I read "torque" and "publish", I immediately thought of GarageGames.com. Ever considered talking to them?

Ah... the joys of the anti-tank kit are coming back to me. I was ridiculed for picking anti-tank... but I wiped those smirks off their faces when I wrecked their tank and took back half our flags. Then I got killed and traded off with muller.
He got a tank, parked it and got out because he was being shot at, ran and hid when the guy who was shooting at him stole his tank, and tried to take it out from the rooftop with grenades and crap. Should have picked anti-tank, I said. I think we lost.

That was the first and last time I played BF2.

Too much oxygen can be poisonous, true. IIRC, the atmosphere is over 70% nitrogen and something like 20% oxygen.

This is an impressive tangent BTW.

'S not mine, it's been on PONAF for ages. Click the picture...

I really want to like noctis... it's beautiful for a DOS game at any rate. But every time I play for more that a couple of minutes, I get inexplicable motion sickness. It's bizzare, I've never had that happen in any other game.

As for gameplay, considering it's an MMO, I would imagine that the requirements for good gameplay would differ from that of a singleplayer game. To some extent, the gameplay should emerge from the actions of the players, if they are given the proper tools to interact in multiple fashions. (Fight, trade, ally, etc.) At least, they seem to have the noctis-like exploration factor down.

I played it at a LAN cafe with some friends, wasn't too impressed. Then again, I'm not much into shooters these days... the last one I actually played and enjoyed was Far Cry.

Something like this?

Nice, reminds me of the minibossess.

Btw, a link to this video came up next to it and I couldn't resist:
