They are to UC Santa Barbara for providing robust multicast support in Helix, the Justin Karneges and Ulrich Staudinger at the Jabber Foundation for Jabber/Helix integration, Robert Kaye at MusicBrainz for integrated metadata cleanup in the Helix DNA Client, Jesse Schell at Carnegie Mellon University for integrating the Panda3D game and simulation engine with Helix, and the Xiph.org Foundation for further R&D and support of Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora codecs, including Helix DNA platform integration.

Just say NO to Real; use these alternate tools

[coltrane679]

Real is hideous spyware, bloatware and crapware; the most recent version is worse than ever:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A2 41 90-2004Jan17.html

Instead, use these tools if Real Media is all that is available:

Player: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group _id=82303&package_id=84358

Capture and convert to AVI: Use Real 7ime, more about it here:

And if you want to see all the options for capturing streaming media:

FUCK REAL by any and all means possible.
