Freeware is a term used for computer software that may be used legally without paying for it. Even this definition is extremely broad. The freeware I list on my site must not contain spyware or other types of malware and must not be a time limited demo.
Illegal use of commercial software is unnecessary because of the large amount of high quality freeware available. Sometimes freeware can be better than the commercial software it was made to replace. I figure that most people are unaware that most of these freeware programs even exist and so I am trying to promote them on my website. Think about it this way - if the FBI were to raid your house, how many years in prison would you get for having pirated software on your computer? Hopefully my site will allow you to reduce, if not completely eliminate, your prison term. :P
I used PhpWiki to create my tutorials in the past, but I decided that it was restricting me from doing certain things and had too much overhead for my simple tutorials. I decided that I would just hard code the tutorials in PHP, but I knew that in doing so, the traffic from my site from search engines would pull up 404 errors. I really didn't want that to happen and I know that some search engines take forever to reindex a site. |

What is Ahkntfs.exe? It is spyware. This is what I know of Ahkntfs.exe so far: I am running a Windows 2000 machine. I use Mozilla Firefox as my web browser. I am not sure whether it exploited a bug in Firefox or if it got on my system some other way. On my Win2K machine, the file path is "C:\WINNT\System32\?hkntfs.exe". The command line "C:\WINNT\system32\Ahkntfs.exe". |

Here are some sites to find free and legal music for downloading (in MP3 format unless otherwise specified). It may or may not be legal to burn these off on a CD. Since I am lazy, I will leave it up to you to find out. Downloads that require BitTorrent can use uTorrent for Windows or Azureus for Linux. |

I just joined the EFF today with a monthly donation. I have been thinking about it for a while now, especially since the EFF was the first one to file a lawsuit against AT&T over the illegal warrantless wiretapping. On July 9th, 2008, Congress passed a law giving retroactive immunity to the telecoms. The EFF is now in court challenging the legislation as unconstitutional. |

I hate it when companies change my stuff, especially whey they automatically link words in something I have written. I am not talking about those hover links that Yahoo and many other sites use (usually underlined twice or as a dotted line), but rather a normal, permanent link that appears even when sent to another site (like Gmail). Google caught some flak for this back in 2005 when they added an auto-link feature to their Google Toolbar. I just recently found out that Yahoo Mail does this. |

Rotoscope is a program for Linux and Windows XP that allows you to rotoscope a picture, giving the picture a cartoon-like appearance while maintaining a good deal of realism. If you have ever seen the movie “A Scanner Darkly” then you know what I am talking about. |

The new AVG Anti-Virus 8 comes with a component called LinkScanner (sometimes also called Safe Search) that automatically checks the results from Google, Yahoo, and MSN and displays security information in the form of an icon next to the link. You can hover your mouse over a link and it will pop up detailed information. |

AVG Anti-virus recently displayed a popup window telling me that I needed to upgrade from version 7.5 to version 8.0. AVG Free 8.0 is no longer only an anti-virus program, it now includes an integrated anti-spyware and a safe search web browser extension. AVG Free also no longer cripples the scheduler, you can now have it run a full scan whenever you want. |

DEP (Data Execution Prevention) is a security feature in Windows that prevents a program from executing code in a memory block that is marked as no-execute. DEP helps stop buffer overflows, which are used by many computer viruses and other security threats to take over your computer. DEP is a good security feature to have, but there are a few times where DEP stops legitimate software from running (most likely due to poor programming or hacks). |

I am disappointed that a device that we all use (and loathe) every day has not progressed much at all in the last 10 or 20 years. I have looked in every store and compared online the options of alarm clocks both cheap and expensive. At best, the alarm clocks out there are basic, at worst they are complex - having too many features that require multiple simultaneous button presses. All seem to suffer from either poor design, poor implementation, or both. The other day I ran into a device powered by Linux called the chumby. At first, the review I read made it seem perfect, but after reading more about it I found that the alarm clock looked more like an after-thought. So here is what I think a good alarm clock should be able to do: |
