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.

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 (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/

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...

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"

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

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)    This program only need your browser (as firefox or IE7)

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

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)...



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.



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 ) 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!

This is a small gift to any guy that work with big datas (as me in the school) , and by a lot of motives exist a disorder in the hard disk... This small program is almost perfect... in special to save gigabytes of info

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.
