RealPlayer. Here's a Quicktime link in case you don't have it.

zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

*So* glad we have other options for protection in case of nuclear attack, these days. Options like
...uhh
Anyway, yeah. That feel-good drill offered no protection whatsoever. As if you could do anything if that happens...

What Burt the Turtle didnt tell you is that the 50 Megaton TSAR BOMBA

almost blew the plane that threw it to pieces at fifteen miles distance. That it would've set your jeans on fire and turned your sports sneakers into bubbling blobs of boiling plastic at fifty miles distance. That it flung slates off the roof, broke windows and threw people flat on their asses at 100 miles distance in a blast that flew in at 333 meters a second, yet took 7.5 minutes to get there That the boom of it was heard 1.000 miles away and the sound of which circled the globe three times.
If you would've ducked and covered at a reasonable distance you wouldve fried stuck to the pavement like a fish in an un-buttered pan. What you shouldve done is escape the heatwave (which lasted almost half a minute and kept adding heat) and find your way into a basement to there pray to everything at least someone somewhere deems holy.
Duck & Cover was OK with the small atomic bombs of Heroshima strength (about 10.000 tons of TNT's worth) but it wouldve done nothing to defend you against a tactical nuke in the subkiloton range, which in essence is a neutron (radiation) bomb and which effects affect such a small area that either you wouldnt have the time to duck and cover or it wouldnt be necessary. When they broke out the hydrogen bombs (typically 250.000-50.000.000 tons of TNT) "Duck and Cover" was replaced by "Run Like The Wind" which was the Government's soothing way to say that you should get the fuck out of the cities as fast as you possibly can at all cost.
Heroshima was somewhere in the middle, fortunately. It wasn't so small as to make most people die horribly by radiation and it wasnt so large as to make most people die horribly by the most awful burn wounds. It had atrocious amounts of both, but it also had a good amount of blast which could arrive in time to put many out of their misery.

That's why you install Real Alternative. It's a lite version of Real player and it plays rm extensions, etc.
Also check out Quicktime Alternative.
They both use Media Player Classic to play the associated videos.

hm, sounds like the same idea as homeland security saying duct taping windows will save us from anthrax and chemical bombs.
Its about internalizing fear about an uncontrollable external possibility in the masses in order to promote complacency.
