BitTorrent Live

Quote
BitTorrent Live is a live-streaming technology that leverages the bandwidth of everybody watching the stream to lighten the stream's network load. It could be applied to everything from family weddings to corporate conference calls to multiday music festivals - Bram Cohen

There are a lot of PDF files can not be printed or converted, that means those PDF files have been protected.
PDF Password Remover is a freeware tool to remove PDF restriction from protected PDF files.
Note: PDF Password Remover can not remove the user password, that means if you can not read or open the PDF,
you will not be able to remove the password and restriction.

You can download PDF Password Remover from  here.

SuperF4 kills the foreground program when you press Ctrl+Alt+F4. This is different from when you press Alt+F4. When you press Alt+F4, the program can refuse to quit. Windows essentially only asks the program to quit, and lets it decide for itself what to do.You can also kill a program by pressing Win+F4 and then clicking the window with your mouse cursor. When you press Win+F4, the cursor will change to a skull and crossbones cursor, and the next window you click will be killed. You can press escape or the right mouse button to exit this mode without killing a program.
Beware though, killing a program does not give it a chance to save unsaved work. If you accidentally kill explorer.exe, you can start it again by opening Task Manager

Flux

An Amazing program if you use your PC late into the night



http://stereopsis.com/flux/

It basically automatically changes the lighting on the monitor and reduces the brightness and color based on the time of the day.

No thanks, I'd rather keep lightning far away from my machines.  ;D

It should be 'lighting' lol

Thanks for noticing :)

Edit: Now that I think about it, I wonder if its grammatically correct...Perhaps, I should should rewrite it as "It automatically changes the brightness and color of the pc monitor based on the time of the day.

I gave up on Flux after several months as it does tend to give an orange tinge to the screen and because of that it isn't that clear on reduced brightness.
