What software can you not live without?

Everyone probably has a handful of software that they genuinely use almost every time they sit down to a computer. The useful, utilitarian programs that we just cannot live without. I figure that starting a thread like this may help some of us find that next program we don't already use.

I'll start with my list:

Firefox
gAIM
iTunes
myTunes
Snadboy's Revelation

Please add your contributions and let's get a good list of the cream of the crop of useful apps. Preferably freeware, but doesn't really matter...
 
It is possible to live without all of them. Just turn the computer off. 😀


The programs I prefer:
Firefox
EAC
 
pclinuxos free

synaptic free

firefox free

cdburnerxp pro free

fdm download manager free (windows)

different audio/video codecs

ffdshow free

xvid free

auto gordian knot free

ati multimedia center Comes with aiw cards free download too for ati aiw cards.

windows mediaplayer classic free

thunderbird free

open office free

I'll try to think of more.
 
akregator -- who has time to check and read web sites manually when there's RSS?

apt-get -- it's still the easiest method to obtain and update software.

Flashblock -- gives you little (f) icons instead of annoying flash animations, so I can click to view the ones I want to see and ignore the obnoxious ones.

Greasemonkey -- view the web your way, no matter what designer has done to annoy you-- microscopic fonts, unreadable colors, obnoxious animations, or writing their pages in a language you can't read.

VNC -- for the rare times when I need to interface with a Windows box.
