- DefaultGen, on 11/05/2007, -13/+212GIMP won't replace Photoshop. I don't care how free it is.
- whataboutdave, on 10/10/2007, -3/+66GAIM is now Pidgin. Unfortunately.
- Eivo, on 10/10/2007, -2/+522 > 1
- mx3Taggert, on 10/10/2007, -5/+52isnt that the honest to god truth nobody wants to face
- mccord, on 10/10/2007, -2/+47yea can't do these lolcat pics without cmyk color space!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -8/+51Paint.net is a better replacement for GIMP imo.
- PAStheLoD, on 10/10/2007, -3/+43A very fine list, actually the only one that had anything new for a long time..
Just use µTorrent instead of the basic BitTorrent software (although they use the same core, AFAIK) - NICU, on 10/10/2007, -1/+39Try a recent article, not from December 1, 2006. Not a bad list, but lots of broken links and old data.
- RexStJames, on 10/10/2007, -1/+32"What follows is a list of thirty pieces of software that are the cream of the crop of open source software for Windows."
µTorrent is free as in beer, but not open source. Thus, doesn't belong on this list. - cr1t, on 10/10/2007, -2/+33Gimp Replaces Paint ;)
- sjbdallas, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29My dad > your dad
- Indy16, on 10/10/2007, -10/+35Winamp > MusikCube
- xGrill, on 10/10/2007, -1/+25I like Notepad++ better than Notepad2
- Veritascitor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23Um, the e-mails proved that utorrent was actively adding features to block ***** like mediadefender from causing problems. Stop being so damned paranoid. If there was something wrong with utorrent, someone would've proved it by now.
- Emilio8605, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Your argument intrigues me. Tell me more.
- jbmercha, on 10/25/2007, -0/+19Yes, it won't replace Photoshop. But it does a hell of a job replacing MS Paint
- spiri, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18I prefer Notepad++ over Notepad2
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net - insanebrain, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17-"Unique but Essential"
I decide what is essential. .. - mwosh, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19Yea, and I'm sorry... but I have a strange feeling "MusikCube" won't be replacing my iTunes either.
- slicedoranges, on 10/10/2007, -6/+20OpenOffice won't replace MSOffice, either. Just to throw that out there.
- cfuse, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15GIMP's UI is designed by a committee of blind masochists.
- dewfish, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13blasphemy!
- Noctem, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Yeah, if only it had CMYK support.
- saleem, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13wait where can i download free lamborghinis?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Well it's open source right? Why can't they get anyone to fix it then? Or are you saying open source doesn't work.
- lazyfisherman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Audacity is no Sound Forge but it's pretty damn good for being Open Source and free.
- akkibaba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10So much bitching about the guy forcing his ideology on you.
You can only say that if he breaks into your computer and installs the software forcibly . If you don't like the list, ignore it and move on. - aaronm67, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9They're different styles of players. VLC is more of a "Click a file and play" type media player, while Winamp is more of a "Create a library and play from that", and MusikCube is more "Create a library, edit and organize your library"
- spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9How many filters and effects are people going to put over their voices in a podcast? And what audio editor do you recommend for people who do not love god?
- spyrochaete, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9The sole coder of µTorrent, Ludvig Strigeus, also did dev work for PeerFactor which was the antipiracy company that helped provide evidence for the takedown of Suprnova. When I learned of this I immediately abandoned µTorrent for Azureus.
However, I've recently switched back since Bram Cohen, the inventor of BitTorrent, recently chose µTorrent as the official client. Strigeus is now taking on more of a managerial role in development as the client will be coded by a team for the first time in its lifecycle. - ippersiel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Try either DeepBurner or CDBurnerXP Pro
http://deepburner.com/
http://cdburnerxp.se/ - justkevi, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Meh, you want that exact list plus some? Try www.opensourcewindows.org
- Namco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Wow, I didn't think BF2142 was THAT bad! But still AVG should keep its opinions to itself.
- vemerge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8This list is 10 months old, and has been on the front page of Digg at least once before.
- imyourshadow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8InfraRecorder is also worth a try.
http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ - acdcfanbill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Just a few incorrect things I noticed was the url for gimpshop should be .com and not .net and TCE is not third person combat.
- justkevi, on 10/10/2007, -8/+16VLC > Winamp
- juicebag, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Photoshop is free, for most people at least.
>_> - seneyr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7You do realize Cool Edit has been dead for nearly a decade and was bought by Adobe right and was turned into Audition?
- ernasty10050, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8The latest Pidgin update addressed that, if you still wanted to try it out.
- omarciddo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Buried for making me look for the comment you were talking about. Next time, please just reply to the comment; I'm not trying to bash, but it gets annoying having to hunt down the comments people are referring to.
- Namco, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Then how would you introduce a virus to extort pennies from millions of transactions? Also this ***** is free and Macs are hellishly expensive. I built a new bleeding-edge Windows box for around $800 while your crippled white plastic phallus costs you double.
- Namco, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Mactel > Powermac
- Spacemanspif, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Has anyone found a good free CD/DVD burner suite to replace Nero?
- ZTiger, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10GIMP is not Photoshop, that is correct, but I find it better than most Photo Editors. Gives people a nice place to learn some graphic techniques and has a great price for people that don't need all the great features that Photoshop has. I would not tell a Graphic artiest they can replace Photoship with GIMP/GIMPshop. But that doesn't mean GIMP shop is useless. It's like comparing a Lamborghini to a Honda. Both ride, use gas, and take you places. One just does it in nicer ways.
- aliguana, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8foobar
- spidoman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Print Screen button + Paint
Everything else is too bloated. - silverwolfe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7So what's better? Clamwin, AVG, or Avast!?
- MixMastaKooz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6"The writer is most likely one of those people that try to force his or her opinion about open source and free products onto others."
Wow, you did a great job of explaining why you're more qualified to force your opinion on others by providing *no* evidence as to why you're qualified. Well done, sir...well done... - zeldafan, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10I thought I was the only one.
I like the way iTunes looks and works. -
