Free Programs That Do Cool Things

I have a few:
BlueStacks - Android Emulator for PC. Still in Beta so a lot of things still crash or run slowly. I currently use it for IM apps
BlueStacks
Linux MultiMedia Studio (LMMS) - Free and Open source Fruity Loops alternative for PC and Linux
LMMS
Wings 3D - Advanced subdivision modeler, comparable (But not really similar to) Autodesk Maya.
Wings 3D
WhatPulse - A fun little program that tracks your clicks and keys. Apparently I hit my keys 250,000 times today.

IObit is your destination for the most awesome cleaning utility programs on the net.
Advanced System Care- This is basically the holy grail of system care utilities. I would recommend getting Ccleaner to compliment each other.
IObit Uninstaller 2- This is your alternative to Revo Uninstaller.
Game Booster- If your a gamer, then this program is a must, I'd get it as early as possible cause I've read that they might start charging people for it.
Note*: Getting Advanced System care will automatically install allot of other free utilities such as the ones mentioned above and many more.ALL FREE as-well.

You need the truth.
YOU NEED THESE PROGRAMS
Quick screen capture: http://www.etrusoft.com/
Because fuck any other screen capture method. Especially useful for older versions of Windows, specifically ones without any screen capture method. Even if you have a built in screen cap fuck that too. Try it. Love it. LOVE IT. Ask why. Lightweight and flexible (portable)
All you Aspiring Engineering students and Professors hold onto your pants because this shit just got serious.
BAM! Witness
GEOGEBRA : http://www.geogebra.org/cms/
So what it doesn't have a three dimensional graphing option, fucking buy a 400$ program for specifically that if you want it, this shit does everything short of your richfag products. Algebraic input as well as object placing. Insert graphics and trace them with your fancy conics. Graph your Yearly Wage and your Father's yearly wage to rub it in that SOB's face. Nothing beats it. Not so light but Portable.
I would bump some other suggestions but it seems you guys have gotten most of the essentials already. Good job guys, I've been looking for my CCleaner. Sexy profile pics too. Might be back.

Hopefully no one has posted this already, but Audiggle is a free program (well, kind of free) that takes a sample of a song (that you provide for it), and then searches for it in it's massive data base, and then gives you the artist, album and the name of the song.
In other words, it's a music search engine that actually works and isn't stupid.

For Android game programs
[color=red]Game maker studio[/color] - It's much more easier to use this software since you can program the system movements or the flow of the system easily the mapping, characters, skill, menu. Although the Game maker Studio has some limits what it can do especially in AI monsters on how it can attack the player( I still haven't figured it out yet since the codings i made in my game still haven't working yet) and GM Studio doesn't support 3D models and in terms of programming the codings in the system is not that difficult to learn it
[color=red]Cocos2d[/color] - an open source 2D game framework. The original Cocos2D framework is written in Python upon pyglet but has since been ported to other languages and platforms. although this software has a different types or version in this software you literally code the whole system before you can see the system you made and in terms of installing this software it's not much a user friendly since it has a lot of requirements and different kinds of method in installing it that can cause some confusion to the user of the system ending up having a huge trouble for user
[color=red]corona sdk[/color] - It allows software programmers to build mobile applications for the iPhone, iPad, and Android devices. although corona sdk is a free the system it self is depending on the 3rd party tools to utilize the sdk performance and the party tools doesn't come for free which means you have to buy this tools before you can use it although corana has a high potential if only it doesn't to depends on this 3rd party tools

Please stop the bullshit. All DVDs are encrypted with CSS, and region locked. Some players comply with the region restrictions other don't.

I believe we are experiencing some confusion. I got the Paprika (2006) DVD, I put it on the laptop, it didn't play, it was blocked due to "copyrights". It didn't let me view the movie in neither Windows media player, Real Player, or Quicktime. The message that popped was something regarding copyright. I went to ask.com and asked how to play copyrighted movies. I found the program, it worked. That's why I reccomend it. That's it, I just wanted to add something helpful to this thread.
I had a PC, an XP, many many years ago, which without any program, played movies without any mention of regional or copyright block. Sorry for my ignorance of not knowing that ALL movies have that problem. I haven't played movies on a laptop for a long time, and that was the first time, and said that mention. Can I really be blamed for running into the wrong conclusion? No.
The issue was likely region blocking on the disc. All DVD drives, even the ones in PCs are supposed to have a region set. When the region on the disc and the device don't match the movie's not supposed to be played.
...except cheap Taiwanese/Chinese stand alone players didn't ever give a fuck.
Same goes for software. "Brand name" products from Microsoft/Apple have to play by the rules or they get the the mother of all anal law-suits over breaches of copyright treaties.
3rd party video player programs tend to not give a damn.
