Get Rid of That REALpiece-of-shit Player: Install Media Player Classic instead

Click here to replace RealPiece-of-shit Player: " MPC 6.4.8.1 [Notes & Files (Media Player Classic)]"

While it may not be the flashiest interface around it is a whole lot better than spending ten minutes downloading a fist full of programs and advertisements every time I touch some software that start with the words REAL. Realplayer, Realmedia, Realjukebox, Realarcade, RealAnnoying, RealPoor choices as far as I would say.

Many think there is no choice if experiencing the streaming whatever that your newest must see website is offering. All Webmaster seem to go through the "R E A L" experience by offering the proprietary media software that has positioned itself in a all or nothing road block between what they want to shove down your internet connection (in this case instead of your figurative throat) in order to get the content you initially tried to view or hear about 3 years ago when you first started this journey of downloading the free "R E A L" player. Since then you have had to say no to the upgraded premium player (for $19.95) and the monthly subscription to realjukebox ($9.95). If you cleared that hurdle did you fall for the RealArcade scam to play games that are free everywhere else but with these you can 'save your game' and play offline.

That is the catch...with RealAnything the user is never offline. If somehow you wormed your way through the obstacle course of popups, offers, installation refusals, confirmation boxes and some unrelated popups unscathed and not committed to the RealAssholes Network then wait 30 seconds because here comes the nags, nags, nags worst than a spyware program reminding me that if I want to use the program I must succumb.

Wait, Wait there is a small free open source program that has labored to divert your attention back to the media content you tried to hear way back when before you were "R E A L". Do you even remember?

Look to uninstall every single program that starts with the letters "R E A L" in the add/remove programs dialogue in the control panel for you windows users which is all I know. Hell most goofy Mac users that love I-pod-tunes-shuffle-pictures-whatever and the big bro' nature of the white monolith probably are thinking "but I like the realplayer and all the subscriptions in one place costing me $45 a month for nothing?"

But REALly folks, media player classic will player every realmedia file except for the geekoid conversion files along with most QuickTime, quickshow, .mov or any MIME file that is from the take us, we take over, or we take away your choices software developer that ever pissed you off

How Come There is No Cheese In Chinese Food?

Think about it?...Can you think of any traditional Chinese Dish that has cheese in it or on it?

Over a billion people so somebody has to like it? Do they have a cheese industry in China? Maybe they only eat it plain or on its own. Very minimalist's Asian kind of thing. Never have seen the Iron Chef Chen Kenichi (of course he is Japanese only named Iron Chef Chinese) use it on anything.

Chinese have cows, goats or sheep and have domesticated them for centuries. Therefore the main ingredient is available. So lack of resources not applicable.

Most Chinese are not Hindu which is the only religion that prohibits slaughtering cows and using some diary products. So religiously speaking it is not an issue.

Those are the reasons I came up with and eliminated. I welcome an insight here, or are we the freaks for making aged curdled milk a main staple of most meals. I think we should blame Italians since the have cheese in practically everything. Are there less hugely overweight Chinese than Americans? Let's ask the Cheese industry.

I can tell you right now there is no place on earth with as many grotesquely fat gluttons than in the good old US of A! As any traveler knows it is the one thing that is missing no matter how many weeks they are overseas. One may only see one incredibly obese person every week instead of every hour at any fairly busy public place in America. 8-X

How Can One Sad Midwestern Radio Station Change the World?

Metro Blogging LA Just when I think the west coast is ahead of the game it looks like the cool trend in web radio is from the Midwest? In Ohio? What's worse is that I used to live in Cincinanti and thought this station was cool. Moving to California right before the millenium and enjoying the more relaxed and vibrant scene I havn't looked back much.

An then BAM! The metro blog from Los Angeles is a patron of the hottest little alturnative rock station as far as attention from internet users goes. My question is: How will the internet continue to effect the way we feel about globalization as a barrier excluding travel. The reason I want to exclude travel is simply, until it is possible to change the generally accepted travel times by implementing faster or cheaper technologies, the physical distances and costs needed to meet face-to-face, then the gloalization can not change much. The internet may effect how we travel but I am more interested in how we may not feel the need to travel or meet people as a result of shrinking the world down to a virtual society bound together by the Interent.

Am I the only one that thinks channel sixty-nine should be the porn channel? Or at least the PlayBoy Station?
