Programs you can't live without


Question

What are some programs you could never live without on your computer?

My list:

Ditto (http://ditto-cp.sourceforge.net/)

This awesome program stores everything i have copied so if i need it again, i can just go into the list and double click it, and it will be the active Control + V paste.

DvD Decrypter (http://www.dvddecrypter.org.uk/) + Auto GK (http://www.autogk.me.uk/)

This is a great combination for ripping the video off the DVD, for storing on a external harddrive and playback later. Just rip it out with Dvd Decrypter, then use Auto GK to convert it to Avi.

Firefox

For the obvious reason, my favorite web browser, while slower then say.. google chrome, the addons is what keeps me on it.

BitChe(http://convivea.com/product.php?id=2) + uTorrent (http://www.utorrent.com/)

Bitche is a program that searches all the torrent sites for you, giving you a list of the best seeded torrent files, and then it will automatically open your chosen torrent in uTorrent.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
