    Well, of course I am (hopefully) exaggerating about "eventually the world," but "By extending the definition of 'terrorism' and using the 9/11-incited patriotic fervor, the U.S. will expand its military dominion" is my definite opinion, I'm afraid. The comment about "shadow government" (note the quotes) was simply because every time I say "Bush wants to do this" or whatever, I realize he's not intelligent enough and that it's really Cheney/his advisors/etc. Those are the only real un-intelligent things I think I may have said there... And the gulf definitely seems to be the administration's goal, IMO because of the oil, and of course to finish what pappy started. I can see Afghanistan, sure. Iraq, only because they're close to having nukes and they have a reason to use them. But beyond that? No. It's not our job to go an install a "regimine change" wherever we disagree with the ethics or politics of this or that petty dictator, or say that's our reason to the citizens but really just invade for their oil. And of course I hope you're not implying that different political opinions make for lack of intelligence, right? ... Finally, a relief from the stupid people around me! An intelligent conversation! :omg: -Domenic Denicola- [CPUA 0x1337] MadHamster Creations "I was born human. But this was an accident of fate - a condition merely of time and place.

    It's a truly horrible thing to have to go through, but sometimes there's just no choice. I'm going through it right now (the Decree Nisi was pronounced today), and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. :(( Anna :rose: "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch

    I suck at maths, probably because of laziness in primary school, and yet I enjoy programming. Yes, I feel pretty stoopid because of it sometimes, but then, I'm getting used to feeling that way :) Talk a bit of geek down the pub tonight - you'll come out feeling like a genius :laugh: The following statement about your geekness is true.

    Hehe, I used to enjoy playing that game, only ever had the shareware version though :( Onto your question. You don't say which version of Jazz you have. The shareware version of Jazz that I have has its music in .psm files, which are Protracker Studio format. You can play and save them to disk in .wav format with ModPlug Player/Tracker[^].

    Well, it's more that I've written a wrapper class for the C# XML stuff, and a GUI app that exposes it and provides a simple editor for XML/XSL and XSD. I posted to the testing forum but no-one has answered and I'm hoping to find a couple of folks willing to test it for me and comment, because it's for a magazine article and it's grown in size beyond what I am likely to be able to test as thoroughly as I would like.
