can somebody define NOD for me?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brotherhood_of_Nod
The Brotherhood of Nod, often simply referred to as Nod or The Brotherhood, is one of three prominent fictional factions in the Tiberian series of Westwood Studios' Command & Conquer real-time strategy video games.
On a final note and in a rather direct correlation, the original manual for the first Command & Conquer game lists a quote by Kane, with the source cited as a file named "#GEN4:16". This is a reference to Genesis 4:16, which states "And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Nod
The Land of Nod (Hebrew: ’eretz-Nod) is a place in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, located "to the east of Eden", to which Cain was banished after murdering his brother Abel. The Hebrew word nod means "wandering".
"And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden." (Genesis 4:16, King James Version)
"Nod" (נוד) is the Hebrew root of the verb "to wander" (לנדוד) and is possibly an etymological etiology intended to explain the peripatetic lifestyle of Cain and his descendants, the Cainites. One interpretation of Genesis 4:16 is that Cain was cursed to wander the land forever, not that he was exiled to a "Land of Wanderers", otherwise absent from the Old Testament.

Doesn't NOD stand for "Nation Of Death"? Maybe both?
Edit: Oh, and do you guys think this will work on Linux somehow?
