My dad bought a Niva in 1980 and it managed to get us through many a Toronto winter where lesser 4x4s cared to (or could, for that matter) tread.
I've a fond memory of being driven to school one wintery morning, passing a snazzy new (at the time) Jeep Wagoneer stuck in a ditch. The best part was it belong to some kid who'd made fun of my dad's car! That'll learn him! *
It's still around, and though the paintjob is in less-than-stellar condition, the engine still runs fine!
Cheap Soviet-era Jeep ripoff? Perhaps. Worth the money? Definitely.
* Actually, it didn't learn him. He just made fun of me again the next day. But last I heard, he was working the counter at Burger King.;)
As awesome as Media Player Classic, the one drawback -- a rather minor point in light of all the goodness it does -- is that as far as I know, some form of RealPlayer is required to view Real-formatted media. While I'm unsure if the actual PRESENCE of the Real application is needed, I'm certain the codecs are. The same might very well apply to the other "non-standard" formats (QuickTime, Bink, etc.)
So, is there anyway to keep up-to-date with the Real codecs, without having to install any Real application?
Again, don't get me wrong; I absolutely LOVE MPC! It's what all good media players should be: lightweight and flexible!

Here's a whack of infomation about AR: link

Whatever you do, DO NOT travel back in time and kill the fellow who built the car!
I'd rather not have the universe collapse in on itself, thank you very much.
I know this is a troll, but MAN! I gotta start using that term! "Touched my junk!" Hilarious! =)
According to this, it was Grace Hopper.
But slowing is exactly what that webserver's going to do!
Man, we totally just clearcut their servers.
Thanks, Google!
And here are some URLs:
Real Alternative & Quicktime Alternative (middle of the page)
Media Player Classic (again, middle of the page)
Enjoy!
It figured that Slashdot of all places would know, it's not pronounced "Line X," it's pronounced "Lynn-Ux"! =P
Not Depp! Five!
What? You can't spare 5 minutes and 17 seconds? =)
Wow. Talk about irony. =)
This was moderated "Insightful"?!?!?! WTF? Hasn't anyone ever seen this?

I don't know about his desktop, but I betcha Tony Danza's got a copy of this installed! =)
For the love of all that is holy... The Beatles and NSync on the same PLAYLIST?!?!?!? WTF? =)
Uh-oh! Looks the Slashdot effect has shut down another animation studio. =)
On second thought, considering where I'm posting: This is camping!
That's not camping! This is camping!.
I recommend the collected works of Strongbad. I've converted most of 'em to MPGs > VCD (they're SFWs initially). Fun for the whole family!
And unlike lab animals who make noises of protest during these tests, the Marines would just suck it up! =)

Dusty, eh? Guess those other Earth haven't yet invented this.
