    Actually they did a thing a year or two ago where you could download a serial from their website to run it without the nag screen like officially. It's perfectly easy to use it with the nag screen, I've been doing so for a long time xD

    Just a thought. Differentiate between freeware and open source apps.

    What difference does it make for the end-user? I want a program that works well, not its header files.

    Meh, I've got the key, so I wouldn't know.

    I prefer 7-zip to winrar anyway

    You can add InfraRecorder to that list of decent CD/DVD tools - great for making your own ISO images which you can then burn with ImgBurn if InfraRecorder can't burn it, and it's open source too
    Problems playing downloaded videos? Try CCCP

    Conquer Online-a great MMORPG where you can be either a taoist, a warrior, an archer, or a trojan. It's created with the ancient Chinese Kungfu and magic in mind, and in my opinion, a great play. There's something new for you to work on almost every new level-up, whether it be a new sword you can buy or the ability to mine. A game that can really keep you busy, and definitely worth a shot.

    These things matter boatload with your liabilities and obligations. For normal use, not so much most of the time. However, if you say, edit a config file, and forward it on with out source, you can be considered in violation with GPL (especially 3, when that comes out ) It is good to know, just in case. It should be noted that people should read the licensing that comes with each product, as BSD, GPL, and most other open licensing is amendable.

    As you've said, normal use is barely affected by it. If everybody insists I could add the licence to the very end, but I think it'd be a slightly useless here.

    Uhhh... thanks, but I have enough databases to organise at work already, without having to resort to such drastic measures as EoFF to keep myself busy.

    Just remembered AppLocale, you can get it from Microsoft for free last time I checked, though whether that crappy Genuine Disadvantage crap is now in the way or not is another matter Useful for people like me that want to run programs or games on an English WinXP as if I'm running Japanese WinXP (or any other language you fancy)

    I'd gladly add it if you could give me a link and a general idea what it actually does.

    I use Foldersize (link) to show how big my folders are. It's up to you what program to use, since they're all small programs.

    Disk Defrag - Reclaim the Speed Of Your Disks = Nice lightweight and fast disk defrag that even tells you how much its improved your disks with a performance percentage.


    ATITool - Overclocking utility for ATI cards = A overclocking tool that lets you overclock and fiddle with pretty much EVERY setting on your graphics card. Has support for Nvidia cards dispite its misleading name.
