- wired4u, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I hate top ten lists, they always include such common things that everyone uses. Other things that should of been on the list, a car my car is much more important to me the ssh. Ohh and fire for eating and cooking and don't forget food food is a very important tool for survival.

Seriously, I’m sick of top ten lists, and I’m sick of people saying ***** like “zomg I can’t live without skype or napster or wordpress” or any other mediocre service with 100 alternatives. Not to mention the fact that if you can’t live without a computer, you fail at life. And I say that as an adult IT Professional who’s used computers for work, play, and sociality for my entire life. - ZenMasterJG, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Emacs.
That and a kitchen sink, and you've got it all. - colonelpanic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4webdav is a horrible and very unreliable tool. My college uses it, and if transfer speeds aren't comparable to dial up, you're lucky. I work for the schools ITS dept, so I am quite sure it is not a network or hardware issue.
- quomen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Or just electronic hardware for that matter.
- nusuni, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Someone needs to install WP-Cache.
- diggdowner, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"Tool?"
Buried as inaccurate. - snurfle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3"yes definately these are good tools..."
Just checking...
The most underrated and unused tool on the 'net is the "Check Spelling" button on Digg. - bradleyland, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3One can build anything with a Sawzall, a Rotozip, some Liquid Nails, and duct tape.
- Syntaxis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Wordpress? Photoshop? Skype? SSH? You do know there's an entire article behind this Digg topic, right? I mean, it's not just the two lines below the title. Click the title, it'll open your eyes to a whole new world!
- ChronicColonic, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Now if you only had someone to use it on...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The proper title would be.."10 tools I can't live with being a blog whore"
- mikal, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Windows: Slysoft AnyDVD+Arc DVD Copy (DVDShrink-ish), Avast! Antivirus, CCCodec Pack, VLC, Qucktime Alternative and Realtime Alternative (so you don't have to install Quicktime and Realplayer), cDisplayEx (Comic book reader), Dizzy NFO Viewer (Damn! NFO viewer is also ok), Ext2IFS (Mount by ext2 drives in Windows, works great for both r/w), Putty (SSH client), FlashFXP (Great FTP client, Filezilla is also ok), Foxit Reader (Because Adobe Reader is a hog), Nero (See CDBurnerXP for free alternative, but not same league), Daemon Tools (Mount your ISO files), Total Commander (Because I miss Directory Opus from Amiga and Explorer sucks), TrueCrypt (Encrypt disks, make mountable container files), UltraEdit (Textpad might also be ok), uTorrent and... WinUAE. Oh, and ScummVM!
Linux: mplayer, DeVeDe (Convert any video to dvd/svcd/etc), AcetoneISO (Mount ISO files, etc), VMWare Server (Free! And has most of the features I use in Workstation), Amarok (The only music player), k3b (Best burning software available, but still not great), hellanzb (For my Usenet binary leeching sessions), ktorrent (Lightweight but good, never going back to Azureus), ScummVM (Again, for my LucasArts cravings), and, uhm, yeah, this could take all night. - jay12645, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Sawzaw, Duct Tape, and WD-40.
- jcarrion1976, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I'd have to go with Flickr, Picasa and Gimp. Not perfect but real good considering all are free.
- frazw, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Judging by your list you are missing sedatives, to "even you out."
Oh and bluetooth headset, glued in your ear because you seem like the kind of guy who thinks he's that important. - Jimgress, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I know Wordpress must be really cool and have all these neat functions and other things that put it leagues ahead of the competition but what's the bloody use of all that innovation if I can't see ANYTHING but the error page.
- picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Now hundreds of people will never try it.
- Tanath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yeah, but we can live without you. :P

Yes, I do own all of these despite being a girl. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Errr ... most people here will say 'tch ... this guy cant even spell duck!' lol
- sabach, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I use it to remote into servers in other buildings, without it I'd have to drive all over the city to manage my network. However I think my request for fiber is going to go through, that'll change everything.
