If you know of any cool software or websites let everyone know about them here.

I love this software.. it's free from google.. it's for making 3-d designs.

It's so addictive.. but I am a sculptor.. maybe that's why I like it so much. it's pretty easy to use.. and they have a lot of free tutorials, too. When you do really complex stuff it can get difficult.. but it's still a lot of fun.. check out what this guy did with it..

Oh yeah.. people use this software to design stuff and put it on google earth and at this Google warehouse here..

It's cool.. people make reproductions of buildings and stuff.. it's neat.

no one knows of any cool weird software or weird websites? Come on people..

Lifehacker: "Tips and downloads for getting things done". It leans heavily towards tech issues, but there's a lot more to it than that.

Instructables: "The World's Biggest DIY & How To Show & Tell": Not that I ever make much, but there's some really interesting stuff to see here. If you're looking to make something or get ideas on how to make or do something, this is a great place to check out.

Digg: I'm trying to explain it and I can't do it very well. It's a news site sort of. People vote for things, popular things are probably worth seeing. I like it.

Cracked.com: Remember that horrible old Mad-magazine rip-off called Cracked? Well the magazine sucked, but they have a website now. They have some pretty funny articles.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head right now. I don't know much about software, but you should check out the Lifehacker link - they have a 2007 roundup of a lot of good software.

Cool, robot. Thanks! Those sites sound really cool.

I don't know about cool software but this site is a one stop shop for freeware

The detail in the review and the number of comparisons is
useful i think.Introduced me to software I'd never heard of

Starts with 46 categories and adds another 57 if you sign up for the newsletter

Maybe useful maybe not

All the recent excitement over Spammers got me wound up because I know those tossers always add extra nasties to any of their links

A couple of total Computer security tutorials

Wow.. how cool. I have been needing info on security. I have been meaning to look into that forever.. thank you!

Your welcome

To tell the truth I'm just sharing what other more technically gifted people have shared with me

As i was told get 1 firewall,1 anti-virus and as many of everything else as you like but don't think for a minute your PC is 100% secure as the bad guys are always 1 step ahead of the good

A very good reason to never do your banking online

Yeah.. I don't put any important/valuable info on the PC.. I just don't trust it. If man made it, man can break it And likely will. It's good to keep up to date on the info though.

true,out of date is a sitting duck

Because we all have something to hide:

TrueCrypt is a very cool encryption tool. It can encrypt complete hard disks and partitions (like an external USB drive or memory stick) or it can work with "containers" (large encrypted files that can be used like a drive in Windows/Linux).
It also comes with advanced features like "hidden volumes" where you won't even know there is encrypted data hidden somewhere unless you "say the magic word".
I've used it quite successfully on Windows and Linux for about 2 years now.

whao.. bsx.. that sounds awsome..
