what do you recommend for a music/media player? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

ok...what's the best in your opinion? does it do the following: PLAY - - MP3 - WAV - AU - WMA - WMV - RA - MOV - MPEG - AVI looking for an all around good media player, wondering what's decent, since htere are so many, and they all say they do the same thing...until you actually TRY them, and THEN you find out about all the bugs or how fickle the thing is...

still missing bits i meant to cover, sorry... my reference to the vietnam era was in reference to your comment about the Corps grumbling about using the M-16 (which we still do a bit of). In the beginning, and for a bit after, it was always prone to locking up in the feed because of the shoddy gas release after rechambering the round on full-automatic. then they switched out the triggering system and removed the full-auto (which is still easy to get around with a metal file and some tim

oooh...steyrs are cool... oh, and I was specifically talking about the Marine Corps, Wombat, and your reference to the M-16. You said (cropped): One final comment and then I'm outa here. ANY variation of an "Armalite", be it an AR15, M16, CAR15 of whatever is inherently flawed when it comes to accuracy.The design is not meant for long range work, and the receiver is prone to flexing. It is a hopeless in field weapon unless it is spotless and well maintained

Blender has gone GPL in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Per the flash from timothy at /. Sunday (missed it the first time through), Blender has gone opensource. If you have a desire to get into 3D graphic design, or just to dabble, even, but don't have a wad of cash just laying around, check this article out. You might want to know, ahead of time, that the Blender site is pretty swamped right now, although there are two mirrors up at time of posting (not sure how stable they are). The link to the Blender site itself is http://www.b

you can change the startup screen...and shutdown screen...and wallpaper...but not much else I think... however, if you buy JAFO a Porsche (since he missed out), he may be able to make you something similar out of lightstep and desktopX or something...
