Software products that you think are really good

SABnzbd (http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbd/ )+ FF + Newzbin + Greasemonkey one-click script/SAB-tab for newzbin is the way to go. Also, SABnzbd supports RSS feeds. Go buy a new HDD [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I can't believe no one has mentioned PokerStove.

And Emacs is probably the greatest text editor.

I havn't tried any of these yet, but here are three web services that might prove super useful to participants in this community. Reviews are appreciated from anyone who has used these sites.

Zecco.com Offers up to 40 free stock trades per month. Zero rake action is every gamblers dream. I will likely be opening an account very soon.

Circle Lending This service formalizes the contracts and payment terms for loans between friends and family. Now when your friend goes Busto! you can formalize the terms of your staking arrangement. It looks like even have documents to collateralize loans. Mark Newhouse take note.

Reputation Defender This service will perform periodic searches of the Internet, including message boards, social networks and blogs, for information about you or your child. If scandalous information is found you can pay extra and a friendly staff member will go about removing the offending posts using "proprietary methods". I wonder if any of the mods have been contacted by a representative of Reputation Defender? I think we all know a few people who would find this service very useful.

For anyone that uses google calendar this is an awesome little hack that allows you to quick add events from any page in firefox (gcal doesn't even have to be open).

GCC: http://gcc.gnu.org

Not generally the "best" compiler for many platforms, but it's a darn good compiler for most all platforms it supports. That's nothing short of amazing. It's an enabling piece of software that has done profound things for the spread of embedded technology.

GCC is probably the most amazing piece of software on the planet. It compiles well for many platforms, and is very well supported for the main target platform x86 or x86_64 (is that what they call it these days?) I do not think that GCC is a killer app though... so many people use it without knowing that it really kills its appeal.

I do disagree with you on vim though. Vim is gross.. I used to use it until for some reason I had inconsistencies in my configuration file between the linux platform at school, my linux platform at home, and my windows platform. Turned me off of vim forever.. if I am using the same version and I get different results something is obviously [censored] up.

Which is why I recommended emacs earlier. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And an emacs user has to defend his choice against vim users.. I think that is in the bible.

I know their slogan is No Software but whatever it is I think Salesforce.com is crazy for the amount of problems it can solve.

Looks like Microsoft might surpass this soon tho...
