How about a thread where we share some cool/useful/fun/etc software that everyone uses. I'm always amazed when someone tells me of one program or another that they are currently using. Anyone have any cool programs, etc....we should look into? Dosen't have to associate with gambling, just anything that you'd recommend that you find useful or fun. A couple things that I use

for insant messaging ...I use Trillian which combines AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ all into one. Also has a history of your IM's..so you can look back on what was said.


PokerTracker is a must have for you poker players. It takes all your hands played directly from PartyPoker, etc..and compiles the info into an easy to read database, where you can replay hands, find leaks in your game, etc.


Ok...so what else is out there ???

The "so-called" free software is nice, but you guys must love having to x out of a thousand popup adds everytime you go to a new website and must love having to restart your computer every hour because your computer crashes with all the spyware that comes along with these programs. Id rather pay $20 bucks for a program without spyware than get a free version that makes your computer useless.

i take it your not computer savy :icon_conf

I know all about popup blockers and spyware removal. Some of these new spyware programs are so sneaky that you constantly have to run new spyware programs sometimes having to buy 3 or 4 different spyware programs all costing money just to get rid of these things. Then you have to go thru the trouble of running these scans several times a week with 3 or 4 different programs just to remove this stuff all for a neat little IM service that combines all the AOL, Yahoo etc... into one. Some of these programs will not function after you remove the adware, GAIM being one of those programs. If you have run a spyware program on your computer and GAIN still works that means that you still have all the adware that that came along with that program.

What is GAIM?

It combines several different IM services into one and lets you make neat little emails. All for the very low price of tracking everything that you do on your computer and sending you popups and making your computer slower. Even if you do have Popup blockers this does not stop the tracking software that they put on your computer.

Well the original GAIM (Unix/Linux) certainly never had that -- the name must be being misused..

There is an obvious question that rises, are you on crack, or are you just talking out of your ass?

Late Edit:
In case anyone doesn't know what we're talking about:
Gaim: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/
It's a GPL-ed IM program, combining all the popular instant messengers into one application, it runs significantly faster than trillian and it has no spyware/adware whatsoever in either the Windows or the Linux versions.

chop - u must download some weird shit cuz i havent gotten a pop-up (without surfin the net) in well over 2 years. i dont use any pop up blocker, anti virus sofware, or spyware type software such as adware - i would have to simply say that you just dont know what your doing. Format your computer....a good browser like firefox does wonders

and no...gaim doesnt give you pop-ups

i dont know GPL software that gives you pop-ups
