@rturo's link wasn't malicious, just useless.

7-Zip is available as V9.17 beta :!: I don't understand all these beta releases... I stopped upgrading at v9.15. What's new: - Disk fragmentation problem for ZIP archives created by 7-Zip was fixed. - Notes: 7-Zip now uses 4 MB RAM buffer as file cache, when you create ZIP archives. It reduces the ...

Excellent news!

Thanks for notifying us.

OpenOffice.org 3.3 is almost finished . Very likely it'll be released before the first stable version of LibreOffice. There are two options after the release of OOo 3.3: Oracle keeps the trademarks of OpenOffice.org and continues its development. The developers may or may not continue sending patch...

thought libreoffice was split from openoffice but both would continue :S don't see how libre is different than open from what i've seen so far though Oracle hasn't accepted certain patches of OpenOffice.org because Oracle wants people to actually buy licenses of Oracle Open Office . (Sun Microsyste...

Lifehacker gave it a strong review and it looks like its just a recompile of the browser using a C compiler optimized for modern operating systems / processors. I'm a little disappointed they didn't go with a fully GPL'd license like IceCat (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/) but I realize that...

@Napiophelios: Please remove kathleenp980's link from your post. Her/his objective was just to get a link from TPFC to that website (so that the website ranks higher in search engines). Links in spam posts should never be quoted. Edit: Thanks Napiophelios. No need to become embarrassed, I wasn't at...

I have listed the most popular applications below, with an alternative to what I deem as popular/b...

Haven't properly tested it though.

Thanks for reminding. Aterdin has mentioned X-MediaPlayerClassic Home Cinema in a comment of Media Player Classic entry, but I totally forgot it.

(Yay! After this post I'm R1! )

Thank you both for testing, especially Ruby. This new version (as did the previous one) runs stealth on my system until I open a DVD folder/file (ifo, vob) which then creates and writes settings to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gabest\Filters\MPEG Video Decoder Hm. So portability of MPC-HC depends on ...

I was not able to generate an INI file the program would write to and skip the registry. At least my copy of Media Player Classic Home Cinema still has the "Store settings to .ini file" option (View -> Options... -> Other). Do you mean the setting doesn't work? :( listing dead software is...
