Free Programs That Do Cool Things

what kind of disk images are you talking about?

[color=green]an .iso file...... it's for a PSP game[/color]

If it's PSP, I just drag them into my PSP and wala, I play them. Not sure just 'how' do you want to view them, I say just try Daemon or Virtual CloneDrive etc..?

I would suggest what Luna said.
Daemon has worked well for the psp games I play.

You know you can mount a psp based environment game like you would a vn or eroge right. Unless you created some java like coding... which you should get paid.

Me and mantis talked about this already.

also teggypoo going rage.. take it outside here.

roflmao my bad man x-P

Free easy to use torrent would be Bit Torrent.


And a pretty nice video player for all those who love to fap to movies from a torrent. They should use VLC media player .

Bitorrent, not exactly my favorite. I use Ares.

I also recommend QT Creator
for C++. Alot better than bloodshed dev c++. the debug helps alot

I love using utorrent myself and VLC is a good choice, though MPC with CCCP can basically play every single thing available as well ;D

Some one may have already mentioned it, but, TrueCrypt. It's a Very Nice Program that lets you do all sorts of things by way of data encryption for security. And By encryption, I mean Like " O Hai Mistur prezidentz, here are those secret Documentz u wanted. Herp Derp." Encryption. and then, it takes these encrypted files and makes a virtual hard drive for you to store them on. and the encryption? well, it's almost im-fucking-possible to break, even if you knew what you were doing, as each time, it uses a randomly generated key based on random system data, like how and where you move your mouse after receiving the prompt to do so. so, yeah. Super secure and shit.

Also, after mounting the virtual drive, and filling it with, you know, whatever, you can dismount. and, under certain settings, it won't show up unless you enter the right password to access it. hence, you can't even prove that it's THERE, never mind access whatever you're trying to protect.

Media player: VLC (Sorry if this is not to be posted)
BT client: Bittorrent, Vuze
Internet browser: Firefox, Chrome (Cause IE sucks)

EDIT 1: Added Vuze/Azureus.

Frankly I'm tired of this bashing:

IE 8 & 9 is are more than acceptable.

The only problem is computer illiterates using the old versions (5 & 6) even though Windows Update makes you use at least IE 8 nowadays, but ppl just won't upgrade (or properly apply Windows Updates)!

The segment that keeps using these outdated browsers is also the least savvy when it comes to browsing, so they click each and every ad they come across and therefore are most prone to installing virii and spyware.

They are acceptable, but not good enough in terms of speed.

CCCP(Combined Community Codec Pack) is way too better than VLC.

Excuse me, but the whole "which browser is fastest" dick-beating contest is pure, unadulterated bullshit. Is a 10-20 ms delay something that should form the basis of your choice of browser? For anyone sane, that's so fare down the list of priorities that it's not even funny.

Security, ergonomics, (HTTP 5.0/CSS) compliance, resource usage (memory footprint, CPU usage), user familiarity... these are important features of a browser. The mere fact that IE 9 is still IE - in its aesthetics, UI and so on - is a very important feature for a set of basic users who are not adept at learning a new UI.

Ever since I've been working as a sysop, I've become ever more aware that good IT experts give users advice that promotes sane behavior and lets users pick the right tools for their needs. Sometimes that means promoting IE 9, as your 50 something boss won't learn either Chrome or Firefox since he's been using IE all his working life... no, he's not stupid! He's there to make money and since he's your boss, he probably knows something about that. No one's giving a flying fuck about how backwards he's as far as IT is concerned... your job is to make him adjusting to IT easier, not being a smart-ass hipster who shows of his l33t skills.

Free programs for me:

Image viewer: Picasa and IrfanView
Media player: Media Player Classic bundled with K-lite Codec Pack
Partition management: EASEUS Partition Master 8.01 Home - Free (when you need a bit more control)
Torrent: Utorrent
Anti virus: Avast Free AV
Archive Manager: 7-Zip
Internet Browser: Chrome, Firefox, and IE9

I'd like to offer up the following:

SumatraPDF (fast, simple open-source PDF editor; browser plugin actually works well)
gEdit (a lightweight code editor/notepad app primarily known on Linux, but also has a Windows port)

Free ad-on software for your web browser downloading from YouTube whether it's the video or the music track

Best Video Downloader http://www.bestvideodownloader.com/

If you read any manga on your pc or for that mater just view pics at all i strongly recommend mangameeya - it's free and you can customize the hell out of it :) it's simply the best IMHO.
MF mirror - i changed some settings so if you don't like them just delete the "MangaMeeya.ini" file and everything will go to default.

It hasn't been updated in ages. Read this big comparision of various manga/comic readers:

http://comicrack.cyolito.com/forum/7-general/7148-list-of-comic-and-manga-readers

...and then there's Comic Rack, which can do pretty much everything and provides a really smooth reading experience. It can do 2-page reading, smooth scrolling, etc. etc. ...and its database features are nothing to scoff at.
