Re: Do you listen to music while you code/design/work?

Personally, I listen to New Country while coding, the distractions help me figure out something that I haven't been able to figure out for a while, as what I think Albert Einstien said "The Eureka Syndrome", going for that sort of thing.

Wouldn't you deny being a terrorist?
Not saying he is one, but just a man's denial of being a criminal doesn't clear that man.
His conversion to Islam and radical statements in the past would have made his name turn up at least to have him flagged as a person with possible sympathies to terrorist groups if not actual membership.

And being a Muslim does'nt mean that the person is a terrorist. I have my reasons but don't wanna discuss politics here.

Re: Do you listen to music while you code/design/work?

I don't have the facts to determine whether or not the man is giving money to terrorist groups. I do know that both the Israel and US claim he is, but I also know that the terrorist rumors began to surface after a quote taken from him in a speech in the 80s. He claims the quote is false.

I learn more toward him not being a terrorist, because his messages all appear to be peace, and I happen to really like his music. It wouldn't be as much fun jamming to him if I knew he was a terrorist. :/

Remember that Arafat preached peace for decades even while launching terrorist attacks on Israel.
In his book (which is the PLO charter) peace means "a world under Islamic rule where there are no Jews or Christians".
The USSR preached peace which in their vocabulary meant "communist world domination".

I don't say he was a terrorist just that his acts and statements were of a nature which make him a likely suspect for being a terrorist sympathiser and maybe a fundraiser or recruiter.

And yes, I know not all Muslims are terrorists, just as not all Christians are IRA members.

Re: Do you listen to music while you code/design/work?

Music is anyways a passion for me. Yeah i listen to different music styles when i work. Indian Classical(many of u might have heard of pt. Ravi Shankar and the sitar)Others like Ustad Amjad Ali Khan Saab are equally good. The instrumental music is really soothing :-)

Then there are bands like Pink Floyd with Comfortably Numb and Coming Back To Life, Ozzy Osbourne ( All songs ) and assorted collections of pop/rock artistes like Eagles, The Doors. I also listen to world music of Karunesh.

Re: Do you listen to music while you code/design/work?

Its crazy how music is such an important role in everyones life. It can go from changing peoples moods to changing peoples lives. I mess around with the guitar and drums, but I think we all take music for granted. Just imagine if music wasnt there, there would always be a void. We wouldnt have anything to hum, or tap to the beat to, just long boring awkward silences. It seems music is like air for our personality or thinking process, we just couldnt imagine life without music.
