Game: Exteel
weight: 427,7 MB
pc: CPU: 2,5 GHz, Memory: 512 or 1,0 GB, video: 256 MB,  HD space: 1,2 GB

OK good idea..... Those who like racing:

Live For Speed - Racing sumulator.

This game has advanced physics which emulate a real care more closely than most commercial games.

OK so the full version is not free, but the free limited version gives some cars and online play so you can race others online.

Fairly good graphics and the dials on the dashbpoard actually work, you can run out of fuel! And the clock is a real clock, it displays the real time as set on your computer. Plus you get indicators, hazard warning lights ect.

http://www.lfs.net/ (almost same names as us too heh heh)

do you bored of search a good music player to your mp3? tracks ;) , do you bored of Windows Media or Itunes? nothing new?

yay! with the permission of winamp,  AIMP is the best music player in quality of sound!  do you need listen this  :star
AIMP 2.0 have the best performance in any PC, and is a good option to your music  :)

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii115/gustavoccd/aimp_210.png)

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii115/gustavoccd/aimp2screen.jpg)

do you need download this !  :gigi:

http://www.aimp.ru/ (home page... in russian)
ftp://catode.ru/AIMP/aimp_2.11.zip (direct download)

Looking for a turn-based strategy game for free?
UFO Alien Invasion is an Open Source game based on the Quake II Engine (so it can run on Windows, MacOS and Linux). The little problem is that it's still in development :gigi: (but you can play with it anyway).

Here are some screenshots: http://ufoai.ninex.info/gallery/ingame-screenshots/
Main Page of the project: http://ufoai.sourceforge.net/

Thanks by the info Mr Lo?c, and talking about games based on the Quake engine exist too this excellent game (maybe the best option): "Open Arena", (based on Quake III)  ;)  with server to play free and online with any guy of our small world

http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=fIf0kKR-IFg&feature=related (video)

http://download.tuxfamily.org/openarena/rel/076/oa076.exe (direct download to windows users)

enjoy!

(of course.. is freeware or "libre").  anyway I prefer play exteel  :p (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCpB31RPFS0&feature=related) the same video of the first post but in best quality ... X)

I'm waiting for "Quake Live" myself. The most awesome thing is that it runs by a Java applet, not even need to install stuff on the PC ;)

Thanks for the interesting thread and all of your contributions! I'll check up the frst one now... :D

maybe the big problem of windows is the trash in the register (regedit) in the moment of install o delete a new software... with the time your computer is slow and more slow... hmmm...  :confused: ...  big point...

ccleaner and other helper in reality only can serach somes invalid register keys... but exist a solution to live with a computer "happy" and with health...

To delete a program with security and in a 100% of your systen you need this: "Revo Uninstaller", Revo unnistaller is very, but veryu easy to use, a big help to unnistall by complete a program in a Windows pc.

http://www.revouninstaller.com/    .. This is a big program to a long (and quick) life of your pc by years... anyway if do you need clean the register of Windows with peace in the mind think in this small program.

http://www.wisecleaner.com/soft/WRC3Setup.exe (direct download)

if after of this your pc is slow again... think in a possible malware... avast, kaspersky or any antivirus is not the solution... a lot of programs (free of viruses) too have little malwares inside... check with your normal AV and too with "Threat fire" ....   

http://www.threatfire.com/ 

and of course disable "autorun" to any device of your system (usb, optical devices, etc)... ;)

Post data: (of course.. all is freeware... ) :gigi:

2 programs I use for system maintenance are

1> CCleaner (CrapCleaner). this program makes it easy to lean out temporary files from the system including all popular web browsers such as IE, Firefox, Opera ect. It also supports many other programs too, such as Media Player, eMule, Kazaa, Google Toolbar, Netscape, MS Office, Nero, Adobe Acrobat, WinRAR, WinAce, WinZip and more, clearing out thier temporary files.. It is pretty much one click to clean. It also has a built in registry cleaner and a more advanced windows startup and add/remove programs panel. I have used it for quite a long time and it is quick and hasnt caused any problems like some other registry products. Supported by Yahoo Toolbar, so if like me who hates Yahoo software with a passison, watch out for the "install yahoo toolbar" box on the installer and untick it"

http://www.ccleaner.com

2> SuperAntiSpyware. This is a good malware remover. Seems to be very thorough unlike most commercial products (*cough* Norton *cough*). I tend to only load it to do periodic scans or to scan other machines as the free version does not do real time protection anyway. But used in conjunction with other products to thouroughly clean (like threatfire as mentioned in previous post) it makes sure your computer is extremely secure

http://www.superantispyware.com/

This is other of my favourites...and maybe a excellent option to play a weekend, "Aeronauts" is a free flight action game, the models of the airplanes (and characters ) are very nice and the quality of the video and the frames is  soft, the controls are very easy to use ... This is a big option to play online a sunday  :)

well .. Check two videos of the videogame

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5dqTTNs-pU&feature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE_H7LN2ys0

nice eh?:star: me like a lot this game

(and don't worry the lenguage of the game is the english ;) )

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii115/gustavoccd/2.jpg)

to download: http://aeronauts.gamengame.com/index.do

maybe This is the number 3? ;) : "Logmein" This is the good option to  work, repair of the pc's  at distance... "Logmein" is a real "remote control" to check the pc of a friend (or client)  :p  This program only need your browser (as firefox or IE7)

This is a sweet option to help at a friend with his computer. :)

https://secure.logmein.com/tracking.asp?originid=2628&destination=/logmein.msi  (direct download)

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii115/gustavoccd/3_log2.jpg)

(of course... this program is freeware) ^^

yup i use logmein all the time...... works remarkably well over a remote connection too, some other services are extremely laggy! Also recommended by me :)

@MP3

"Also recommended by me "...

hah hah hah !!! :D   ok ok!  you are the boss   ;)

the text:

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gawker/2008/08/SafariScreenSnapz009-3.jpg

...stranger eh?... poor Connie Guglielmo by the text (and his bad luck with the mouse).... Bloomberg News have crazy ideas thinking in the future...  :eek: ....

anyway... is the life ^^

thinking in a new cellphone (or smartphone)?...  :) ... thinking in a Iphone 3G?... a moment! a moment! if do you live in europe or in north america please check this new option of "diamond" the HTC.

the money necesary to purchase this beatiful smartphone is 100 euro in your side of the world ($84000 pesos in my country, Chile , the next week)...

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii115/gustavoccd/htc_X.jpg)

This phone run on Windows mobile 6.1 , and of course is touchscreen, GPS with the mode of install other type of software to this (the Iphone only used Google maps) , too can create documents of MS word or MS Excel , (a good option to our job), the phone of "apple" only can read this type of documents (by the moment) , HTC is too very small.

(http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii115/gustavoccd/htc_3.jpg)

the web browser of this machine is Opera mobile and is 100% compatible with flash web pages, Opera is a nice web browser fast and elegant to mobiles,  :) ... too included a camera of 3.2 MP with autofocus, and conection 3.5 G, bluetooht and wifi (802.11g)...

The bad points of The diamond are two: The first in the OS (Windows mobile :gigi:) and the bad battery of this machine  ;)

well the smartphone is not free or freeware X) but is a good option and you can save money and purchase a beatiful cellphone ^^

see ya!

Thanks Gustavo, I use Openoffice on this PC atm (Office 2002 on PC downstairs). Openoffice is good bu looks clunky. Lotus looks good and is ased on openoffice so should have the same compatability in a much better looking package :)

I shall add to my downloads list!

@CCD

My mates got one of those 'Diamond' phones, its MUCH better than what I've heard from the iPhone. I'd still have a cheap ?20 one though. :)


Oh, the very first game posted in this thread looks awesomely similar to 'Amoured Core' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbrdzpdiCro) which is also a brilliant, brilliant game. I'm gunna have a look at it sometime soon. :)

I have used Sysinternals before. Nice programs for those who know a bit about computers, and want to know about, and control some of the things that is normally regarded as: What they dont know, dont bother them. ;-)
I wasn’t aware of the complete package. Thanks for the tip.

My favorite freeware is naturally Paint.NET. The best freeware image editor and drawing program.
http://www.getpaint.net/

yeah I know the paint.net project ....  :) is a excellent program by a lot of motives, thi first is the quality in his interfarce and the used of layers, history and others...and maybe paint.net is the successor of "The gimp"...  Thanks a lot by sharing   :star:

The big problem of MS Power Ponit, Impress of OO and a lot of pragram of presentations is the compatibilty of fonts, styles between computers and OS...  ;) and this is in reality a big problem in a presentation or dia show... x_X (and talking with sincerity a ms power point presentations is very poor in style) :gigi:

check this video...
http://vimeo.com/2111337?pg=embed&sec=2111337

The cloud computing in simple words  is our software and services in live in the own web, ... or web apps, or a complete OS in a remote server... is possible but in 5, 10 or 12 years more... but the concept of "cloud computing" is a reality now with services as Gmail, google documents, or airmax,the  midori  project in windows , etc etc etc...... anyways is a theme of "time", the concetion wi-fi is PAST since somes weeks ago with concepts as Wimax in japan and EUA or latinamerica, or the popular 3G or 3.5G in all the world...


a nice example...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qB3GN6KOMk

the next generation of chipset and cpu (by example geo of amd or atom of intel) in combination of low money and the creativity of the human mind , is a simbol of progress... as the  MID's or the nettops.... ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91vFlhzI5rY&feature=related ) they are  portable computers  and a window  at the web services...

These "worldwide telescope" seem to be an interesting programm - I love astronomy. Thanks Gustavo.

You do? I'm an amateur astronomer as well, and also a board member of the local astronomy club. :) Worldwide Telescope is a nice program indeed, ideal to "go for a walk" across the sky.

hmmm...  :) ... talking about astronomy maybe this is the best option to look the stars in details... in reality this is a big project called "stellarium"  in the beggining stellarium work only in gnu/linux but since a time ago is avaible in windows and mac... with stellarium you can watch the stars in a almost perfect simulation.. since the grass in a phoetic scene or since a virtual telecospe, is almost exact and powerful... perfect to the astronomy hobbie days...

 :)  ... this is a nice program... maybe the best in datas to novices..stellarium works as  in a planetarium projectors. do you need send the coordinates and "presto".  :D

please enjoy the power of this open source tool...  :star: the basic catalogue have 600.000 stars and the extra catalogues  210 millons of stars   :eek: , a powerful zoom and realistic 3d images, pictures and a lot of info...  :lisa:

Lisa M.Simpson and mr Andreas... enjoy please ,  :) this is the spirit of a freeware (in this example of a open source software)...the correct word is "libre"!  :star:

see ya laters...

Speaking of freeware astronomy programs, you should also check out Celestia, which is a 3D solar system simulator. It requires a powerful graphics card, but flying around the planets (that show real textures, based on space probe images) is pretty amazing. There's also a large amount of "add-ons" available, with loads of new textures, guided tours, and even fictional worlds from Star Trek, Star Wars and more. I think you can easily fill your HD with more than 10 GB of realistic data alone.

*downloading, this is perfect to my collegue of science...:P

Apropos the astronomy, here is a science project, where your task insist the classification of many galaxies.
