Which is worse Real Player or a pc virus? - GoFuckYourself.com

Damn I just had to install real player to play a vid from one of the content providers I used....I chose the "no" option for everything including "make real player the default player". As soon as the install is done what do you fucking know, real player is the default player. I uninstalled the damn thing and all the icons to every media file is that damn real player icon....I HATE REAL PLAYER!

I would rather surf Shockwave.com on a 300 Baud modem than use Real Player...

Or better yet, which is worse, Real or Netscape??? Just thinking about them makes me want to shit myself.

Netscape loads like a semi truck....those are the two worst internet programs ever!

I've boycotted Real Player since 1998, they would have to create an 80k Real Player Lite that does nothing but play .ram files with a clean interface and no advertisements for me to ever download it again.

I love watching these companies shoot themselves in the foot. It's simple - keep the technology working and don't fuck around with it.

It's a lot harder to REGAIN lost and once-loyal customers then it is to increase the new customer base - yet these companies just can't understand that.

The Real One Player randomly pops up messages all over the place on XP...No place to disable this motherfucker. I hope REAL goes tits the fuck up.

In the new technology economy there is only room for Microsoft and Open Source. I can live with that. (whoops i forgot Mac, no i didm't HAHAHA Mac sucking losers)

Real sucks ass. I'd rather have a virus that Norton can't fix than a media player that all but takes over your computer and annoys the hell out of you.

With Real's new push for their new 'Helix' player they are gonna get even more aggressive. If Helix doesn't work they are gonna lose a lot of ground to Windows Media 9. I hope they get crushed.

I hear Real's porn channels are doing very good.

Auslander · 09-05-2002, 12:15 PM

I would rather play spin the plunger with a New York City cop than use Real Player.

Auslander · 09-05-2002, 12:19 PM

I would rather stare at Archer's sigs all day that use Real.

DrGuile · 09-05-2002, 12:23 PM

My computer crashed quite bad 2 days ago and internet explorer is completly fucked up and it's impossible to uninstall it or to repair the fucker so I installed netscape 7 and I'm glad I did!

HeadPimp · 09-05-2002, 01:18 PM

Don't you love the fact that if IE goes belly up, you can really just write it off as dead and gone.

I've tried to fix mine, and it is a lost cause.

Lane · 09-05-2002, 01:22 PM
