Advantages: Useful for more than just Anglican services Disadvantages: -
This Book of Common Prayer (1662) is the 'primary' BCP, used by the Church of England proper, the original branch of the Anglicans. There have been many books that have had the title 'Book of Common Prayer' since the first one appeared in 1549; it has been used continuously in one edition or another in the Anglican tradition since 1559; the 'main' edition remains this 1662 edition. Churches in other nations (Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, the United States, Canada) have done revised Books of Common Prayer, but they always use this as the touchstone.
A bishop in the Episcopal church once said to me, 'We don't have a theology that we have to believe -- what we have is the prayerbook.' Please forgive the absence of context for this phrase -- while he would say that this statement in isolation is an exaggeration, and I would agree ...
Advantages: Allows me to watch the news! Disadvantages: Adverts, not particularly intuitive.
a bit of late, with a Real Download Manager now lurking around, although I was able to download using the standard Windows dialog box and "Open" and/or "Save".
Upon running the setup file, you are greeted with a pop up box asking you to accept the terms and conditions. Once read and accepted, the installation begins. You are then asked to make RealPlayer the default application for a number of file types, you can do as you wish here.

The interface is nice and modern, and fits well with the image of Windows XP. It looks fairly similar to QuickTime, and is silver/grey with green and blue Real branding.
Standard options are accessed via the file menu, or the controls on the player itself. A media ...

Advantages: no delays or glitches Disadvantages: er....
the contrary, MP3 developed by Fraunhofer Research still gives better quality sound. In my humble opinion, there is a lot of crap talked about compressed sound quality. Sure a lot of the stuff that you can copy from Kazaa and the like is of poor quality, however that’s more the fault of the recording techniques used than the mp3 format itself. What I'm trying to say, in my own stumbling fashion, is if you elect to encode a shit recording then don't expect good results. Using a good CD ripper and a late release encoder gives results that are pretty well indistinguishable from the original, at least to my untrained ears.
So, what are the alternatives to Microsoft? Well, the most common is undoubtedly RealPlayer from RealAudio. They've just re-skinned it to look “XP” like (for which read “Mac” like) and re ...
