Software You Can't Afford Not To Use - GoFuckYourself.com

budz · 11-26-2007, 02:51 AM

List any and all software that you couldn't *live* without.

Also, a brief description of what the software does would be nice for those that don't know!

My list:

Visual Basic 6 - Windows programming
Notepad - Edit the files
WS_FTP - File Transfer Protocol client ( up/down loads file to/from server)
Firefox - I love teh tabs
Synergy - Share mouse/keyboard across multiple computers (as well as clipboard)
Comodo - Awesome firewall
Avast - Elite antivirus
Outlook - gotta check teh e-mails
CCleaner - Keeps the PC tidy
Advanced Administrative Tools -

All the above are free with the exceptions of VB6 & AATools, and yes I paid for both of them!

Spudman · 11-26-2007, 02:56 AM

notepad
photoshop
mediaplayer - blast some tunes out

zabijaq · 11-26-2007, 03:09 AM

Mozilla Suite 1.7.x - less spread then FF, less junk from theee internext.
Totalcmd - way better windblows version of Volkov Commander.
NOD32 - more superior anti-virus then Avast.
Spybot - keep it clean :D
Winamp 2.91/2.93 - best there is
Minesweeper - keeps in good mental shape while waiting for upload/download :D

Pornwolf · 11-26-2007, 05:38 AM

Hmm, these are what I can't live without:

Photoshop & Fireworks - Fireworks is easier and faster, Photoshop is prettier but slower
Sony Vegas - Video editing has never been easier than this
ITunes & Last.fm - All my tunage belongs to them
Flex & Flash CS3 - Nuff said
Cute FTP - Most streamlined FTP IMHO
Dreamweaver - Quick and simple site mods
Videocharge Pro - Ripping, splitting, watermarking, encoding video in several formats (H.264,WMV, XVID, Flash 8) and uploading while I sleep ;)

Thats almost my list - I would go with CoreFTP over Cute though.

and for quick FTP stuff I like FireFTP - its a Firefox extension.

Daemon Tools- mounts images as virtual optical drives.
Noscript- Firefox extension, disables scripts while browsing until added to the whitelist by domain.
Flashget- download manager & Flashgot - download manager manager (firefox extension that adds compatibility with your download managers to Firefox)
FireFTP: Free Firefox embedded FTP client.
VLC- video player that will play the shit out of just about any video (or sound) file, even without funky codecs and bloatware.

Years I decided to invest a couple of days into learning a powerful network
operating system (Linux) in order to save hundreds of hours of clicking later,
so my list is:

vi (actually vim, a text editor)
ssh (to connect to to other machines)
Mozilla Seamonkey (browser)
Balsa (email)
ncftp (powerful FTP client)

Lots of little utility scripts I wrote myself, like the script which pointed
out this thread to me.

budz · 11-26-2007, 02:00 PM

I forgot

Trillian - chat/im's icq/msn/yahoo/aim/irc
Excel - sweet for data manipulation & sorting
Access - Databases, tables, reports and queries oh my
Navicat - MySQL Admin tool - "The wolrds best MySQL GUI for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X"
