Your Favorite FREEWARE Programs? I'm a huge user of freeware programs. I hate paying for things, and if i can get it for free, i'm gonna use it
Here's a list of my current favorites.
GAIM consolidate all your msn/aol/icq/yahoo instant messaging into one client. better than miranda and the other freeware ones i've tried.
7-Zip support for most major compression schemes, and adds one of its own, .7z. 7zip makes smaller .zip files compared to pkware, and if you use .7z format, it compresses even smaller! i love it.
DC++ for all your programming needs.
WinMerge compare files/directories quickly and easily, with a visual summary. very nice if you need to do this.
Notepad Replacements: Notepad++ Programmer's Notepad TextPad (this is shareware, but runs forever. just have to look at the splash screen) i only put it here since it is definitely worth the few bucks to purchase.
PHP Designer 2005 very powerful and free - just takes a little whlie to learn the software.
FileZilla open source FTP / SFTP client. couldn't live without this. speed limit capability, queues, etc.
XnView freeware image viewer. slide show, multi-convert, handles every image format i've ever needed.
The GIMP! THE only image editing tool i've ever needed.
I hope you like these, and will at least try some of 'em out
If you have any favorites, please list them for us!
I also use a lot of freeware programsn as many do just as well as paid versions from leading software companies. It may take a little time to find what you are looking for, but its worth it in the end!
I like the Gimp, its a great image editing program. It has features almost like Photoshop or any other programe. The script-fu is great if you dont know how to make stylish banners. I also like Nvu. Its a freeware WYSIWYG. Its a little buggy but its the best freeware WYSIWYG editor. I like programmers notepad. And of course Firefox, the best free browser and Avant browser's pop-up blocker is also nice.
I think almost everybody use free ware programs. I also use a lot of GOOD free ware programs. On top of my list is
TEXTPAD (Try this out if you like to write hard code) Ad-aware (perhaps best adaware FREE program) Mozilla Firefox(Best free browser) PHP Designer 2005 Thunderbird (Great free Email Client)
Same here I hate paying for things so I do best to scour the internet for free stuff.
1. Antivir - my anti-virus, I'd say better than mcafee. 2 .Mozilla Firefox - browser, I've said my goodbye to all those annoying ads that popped up while I was using Internet Explorer 3. Limewire - where I get the latest music and video files for FREE!!! I just can't get it. Original CDS are too expensive for me. 4. Mozilla Thunderbird - e-mail client definitely better than Outlook. 5. Adaware - Thanks to you my computer is spyware safe. 6. JCreator - Java IDE I use to study Java 7. Yahoo Messenger -
One delightful day I happen to come accross this fantabulous thing.. and well it made my web site a whole lot easier to manage and store.
It just like kind of compresses bitmap files and turns them into .GIFs It doesn't lose that much quality either.. unless the image is REALLY detailed.. it also can make ONE color transparent if you get me.
MSN Messenger: I can't remember people's phone numbers. So with MSN Messenger I could get people to add me and then talk.
ShareAZA: Since I decided that it'd be much better to download music (also because it's legal here in CanadA) I needed this program. Also it has no bugs, viruses, or spyware.
Microsoft Anti Spyware: I like this better then Ad-aware mainlyy because this one looks cooler. It gets teh job done and works well.
DBPowerAmp: One of the best and probably the only (freeware) mp3 to wav and other audio format converters. It can do almost anything audio wise adn the quality isn't half bad.
That apart, I like Firefox a lot, although I use Opera more these days, because I've fallen in love with it's integrated mail client. Very neat. It's freeware except for a little banner ad that's not even distracting. I'll stop here, though, don't want to begin another firefox v/s any-other-browser argument right now.
Don't think anyone has mentioned emacs yet - very powerful text editor with syntax highlighting, runs on Linux and Windows.
My favourite freeware program is Windows XP really this is my favourite freeware program and I will keep using it.
Also I would like to say that I prefer several more like NVU then GoogleEarth and some more. But these two are the greatest and not to forget Firefox And ThunderBird they rule.
Easy Thumbs has been a life saver recently. I have been working with about 5000+ pictures and needed them all thumbnailed and until i found this little beuty i was doing it all manually. Really is a great peice of kit, simple but effective. You can get it at Fookes.
Also i have recently found a site for lots of freeware programs, it basically has databased lots of really useful programs and linked to them. Really simple site to use aswell. Here it is Digital Dark net
Anti Virus: AVG (Free) Browser: Firefox Chat: X-Chat Codec: Combined Community Codec Pack Compression: WinRar EMail Client: Thunderbird IDE: Eclipse Issue Tracker: Jira Messenger: Trillian, Y!M (Still use y!m for some compatibility issues..and still on my way migrating to GAIM) Office: Open Office (though i still use MS from time to time to maintain compatibility with reciepients using MS) Operating System: (on my way to Ubuntu) Project Management / Build Tool: Maven2 Revision Control: Subversion (SVN) Spyware Protection: Ad-Aware

Yeah, I'm moroccan, and I love couscous! I eat it here in Los Angeles once a month, but when
I was in Morocco a few years ago we used to eat it every week! SUPER YUMMY! Ok this is how
you make couscous (I'll be using chicken, you can also use lamb, goat, fish, or cow, NO

Well it seems this is the first major problem for Vista SP 1 in the sense for those who have the
following Secuirty Suites installed on your ocmputer that is running Vista. They block the
following programs; Zone Alarm Security Suite 7.1, Trend Micro Internet Security 2008, BitDefender
10, and the 2008 version of the Jiangmin antivirus. As for the reason why these programs don't
work, Microsoft says "they are incompatible and so they must be block". Well not exactly like that
but you get the point they also mention that other small programs might now work either b....
The web community is getting bigger, and bigger everyday and the webdesigners are always looking for
faster ways of creating and maintaining website with a very nice look. That's why CMS were
created. A content management system (CMS) is a system used to manage the content of a Web
site.Content management systems are deployed primarily for interactive use by a potentially large
number of contributors. There are a lot of CMS, I currently use Joomla. Some examples of CMS are:
Joomla Mambo e107 phpNuke Wordpress Xoops Drupal Those are just some of the CMS, a....

Welcome to my turoial on how to start multiple programs using one shortcut. You may probably be
wondering how this is possible. Well this tutorial will use a language from MS-DOS called batch. I
am not sure whether it is "language", but I do know that it is a way to program for MS-DOS. Batch is
simply a way to run several MS-DOS commands with just one command. All batch files are run through
Command Prompt, but they can be accessed with shortcuts also. Here are a few requirements for this
tutorial. Requirements Windows XP (I tested this on XP, but it should work on m....
Starcraft, some people hate it, some people love it, some people don’t give a damn. But I’m just
wondering, what’s your opinion about this game? What do you think has led this game to become so
big, why do you keep playing it? What keeps you hooked onto this game, I probably won’t get a
straightforward answer, but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about this and I want to see what you
think. In my opinion, Starcraft is an amazing game, it's an old game, but it's a classic.
People in Korea have like an entire channel dedicated to this game and hold tournaments, (T....
If you have been using Microsoft Windows Vista for quite some time, you would have noticed that
installing a number of programs/softwares into your computer considerably slows down the response
time of your start menu program folder, sometimes up to one second or more before the programs
listed in a particular start menu folder is displayed. Worst of all, if you are trying to launch a
program from you start menu which is within another start menu prrograms folder. Well, I have found
a way to bypass this very annoying thing in Windows Vista. I have about 98 start menu en....
The government, dairy corporations, teachers, doctors, nurses and mums say that milk is good for

Whats your fav gun? Mines m4 but i think the ak is better since its easier to shoot on target from
range. eg from long A down to A. I think most will like the ak then the m4 and a couple the deagle?
what you think to that? m4 is a good "allrounder" if you ask me. its doesnt take tons of experience
and doesnt spray as much as the ak but the ak is more acturate. ps. i have seen the topic further
down the page but thats a topic not a poll Merging double posts. Refrain from making one. Editing
topic title and description. ....
What are the best ways to ask a girl out? There's always the blunt yet working "will you go
out with me." And of course you could always say "I really like you a lot, maybe we should bring
this friendship to a new level." What are the best ways to ask a girl out, in your opinion?....
OK, so far I have tried now.nu and da.ru but both sign-ups failed, hence rendering the subdomain I
wanted invalid forever and ever and ever and ever. Why I don't want to try .co.nr is because
they require a button link on your main page, even though they claim it is ad-free. That is one of
the reasons why I won't use their service - I hate people who make false claims. The other
reason I won't use their service is because the site I'm making is for a school submission
and it just is going to look very stupid/irritating to have a site that you worked a m....

The Main Reason for this post is to decide the popularity of the voice programs. Since i currently
host both a Teamspeak server and Ventrilo server and am currently in the process of creating a
website for my supporters. I would like your opinions as to which is the better program and why
you think it is, since i will be basing these results on which Server i keep and provide statistics
for on the website. For those that have not heard of these programs i will include a short
description of each program and the websites they can be found at. TeamSpeak # Optimal ba....
The question is very simple: what's your favourite car? It includes suvs, vans, pickups and
veicles similar to these. In my opinion the best and beautiful car is the Bentley Continental Flying
Spur, I like very much all Bentley and generally english cars, but I think that the Flying Spur is a
masterpiece fo the motor industry. And it's price is "only" 175000€ without optionals. Aniway
very beautiful cars are also Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, BMW M5, Aston Martin DB9 and Range Rover. I
place some photos of the Flying Spur. http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/08/flyingspu....
I ask simply what's your favourite quote/es. It can be of everyone but it's will better if
it has been said by: - politics/kings/popes/presidents/generals - writers/philisophers - scientists
So please don't write quotes of your grandmather (if it isn't Marie Curie /biggrin.gif'
border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /> ) or drawn by a film (a book is OK).
My favourite is the same that you can find in my signature but I like very much also these: - "Dieu
est mon droit" ("God is my right") - "Dividi et impera" (about, "Split and rul....

Well, I'm from Argentina and I like eating meat alot, but I don't like spice food, or
fattening like Fast food, but well when I'm hungry I'd eat anything, snaks are the worst,
specially if there's cheese around...I like Italian alot I make pizza all the time, in fact last
night I made two and they were pretty good. I like Japanese, because I like fish a lot too, Indian
haven't had a lot so I'm not sure. The healthiest I thinks is, make your own with a little
bit of everything.....
