Description: BitRipper is an integrated DVD ripping and conversion program that provides AVI or Mpeg creation from DVDs in a single step. I’ve been making terrific conversions of DVDs into video files using all freeware tools for a long time, my programs of choice in this regard being AutoGK and more recently Handbrake. Both of these, however, […]

Very nice, this tool will be a great addition for our Altiris admin. Now we just have to make sure WOL is enabled in the bios of our Dell machines.

This small command line utility makes possible to switch on a computer from a second one by sending a "Magic Packet". Both of computers can be located on the same LAN or on the different LAN segments.

Looks like this could be a free option instead of the Google appliance. I’m still trying to tell if it requires SQL 2005.

Today Microsoft released a new Search offering - Search Server 2008 Express.  This is on top of the recently announced Search Server 2008, and of course Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.

"Express?  Does this mean, like in so many other products with that moniker, that this is free?"

Yep.  Free. 

"So.. it’s scaled down, I bet.  Probably some limit on the number of items you can index, right?"

Wrong.  From what I’ve read, it’s pretty much the same product as the Enterprise version Search Server 2008 - only without the enterprise-class high availability and load balancing options that you get in MOSS 2007 and Search Server 2008.  Check out this comparison page for more details on the three main search offerings from Microsoft.

And here’s the press release that came out today, also.

Here’s a few free games, some are multi-player for your next lan party, I’d include wolfenstein enemy territory and American’s Army for free multi-player games.

There have been lots of great freeware games in 2005 and I decided to present you the five best ones. The games include strategy games, action games, ego shooters and adventures. Should be something for every taste. The freeware scene has developed in the last years producing bigger and better looking games that can sometimes even be compared to commercial products that have been released this year.

Freeware is a beautiful thing. If you’re currently using a freeware application that you can’t live without, please thank the developer by either sending them an e-mail or a donation. Trust me, they’ll appreciate it. The life of a freeware developer obviously isn’t filled with caviar and champagne. They mostly rely on donations (if at all), and when the money isn’t flowing in, it can be an extremely costly thing to do. Why do they…
