seconding Logmein. such a good program. I use it at school all the time to get files i forgot at home.

also Dasheris a really interesting program; it's a text-input program designed for people with mobility issues. but it's fun to play with too

perl:

# Usage: rename perlexpr [files]

# in nix, you may need to use ' ' instead

use File::Glob qw🙂glob); # needed if you want this to work on windows

Hamachi should also definitely be added to the list. Free, hassle-free zero configuration VPN utility with 3 million+ users. Sounds awesome. And it is.

Takes all the fun out of pirating, doesn't it? 😉
 
jadinolf: it sure does. But that's just as good 😉

Anyways, I was wondering if there was a free disk imager. It would certainly be helpful.

I am going to check out the list on Wikipedia if they have it on their list. If they do, I'll try it out, and tell you guys how it works. If not, feel free to tell me one.

/me scampers off to Wikipedia.

edit: couldn't find it on Wikipedia.

Any ideas, anyone?
 
enter the power of shntool (audio related, *nix & windows). multi-purpose command line audio manipulation tool.

http://etree.org/shnutils/shntool/

i just used this to merge a lot of seperate audio files (from a decoded ogg stream) into one complete file in chronological order based on their filename.

worked good.

 
Is there any freeware architectural drawing software? Noth fancy, like 3D or anything, I just want something usefull to design some interior wall changes in my house.

Plus I want something to help me plot out landscaping designs. I have those gardening programs, I think they are inflexible and relatively useless. I don't like their attempts at 3D

I just want a simple 2D top-view designing software.

Thanks.
 
wow, great list! :thumbsup:

Just a small addition to suggest that I did not see in the thread: I recently started using PrimoPDF to create PDFs from within documents.

No registration needed. You can also create secure PDFs (encryption, password to open or modify, and add restrictions so others cannot print, edit, copy to the clipboard, etc. They also have a 64-bit version.
 
Has anyone mentioned HashTab ?

"HashTab is a Windows shell extension which adds a tab called "File Hashes" to the Windows Explorer file properties. The tab contains the MD5, SHA1 and CRC-32 file hashes. These are common hashes that are used to verify the integrity and authenticity of files. Many download sites list the MD5 hash along with the download link. The HashTab makes it very simple for Windows users to check these hashes on any file on the system without using external tools."

Works quickly and couldn't be simpler to use.
 
I've tried Inkscape in the past to create SVG files. It's OK ... but it is very easy to make crash when doing some very trivial things. Stability😀-. No F because you can actually get far enoguh to save your work on occasion.

OH, if anyone wants to do an open source image viewer in Java, let me know!!! I have a desitre to make an iFranview clone.
 
A freeware program able to create text lists of the files available on HDDs, CDs etc. Instead of highlighting every item, or writing them down again and again, the program can give you this information with only a couple of clicks. I'm using it to create covers for my Mp3 DVDs 🙂

There's some extra stuff on that site that might be worth a look...
 
Eclipse should not be tied to Java. it does other programming languages to!

XML via the correct plugin.
It also does C/C++.

It's a generic IDE, even though it is popular among Java geeks.
 
I haven't looked through the entire thread, but here is a program that I doubt is listed, and I just found

http://www.tucows.com/preview/339771

I haven't had any calls yet, so I don't know how well that it works, but it is not only a caller ID, but also allows you to zap unwanted calls with voice messages that you choose.
