When I first saw that and an Asmoish avatar I had a WHAT! moment. Warriors of the Asmo clan are supposed to lead a Spartan existence when it comes to software. |

VLC media play has gone from 1.xx to 2.0.
I'm not sure if the toggle for full screen controller used to there, I like it anyway.

Ummm... No-one's mentioned operating systems? Can't believe it! Or maybe I just missed it. Why pay hundreds of dollars for something that is freely available?
OS: Arch Linux Free software I couldn't live without: Mplayer Mplayer still exists?! Unreal. I fondly remember the days of Team Fortress (Quake II style) and US vs. Canada. Browers: Firefox, Opera, Netscape
I use Opera unless I'm running Netflix, and then I go with IE since it's already installed. I've tried going back to Firefox, but Opera is cleaner and more intuitive (I constantly facepalm when I right click + drag my mouse down and to the right to close a tab on non-Opera browsers). |

This one's not specially good, nor really software, but it is a genuine free Easter Egg:
Open a fresh window of Firefox and type about:mozilla

I downloaded Lightworks but I don't think it's easy, haven't got around to using it. |

I'm actually a linux systems admin in real life, so I've used a lot of the stuff mentioned here. I like Ubuntu a lot, but I'm somewhat partial to Fedora Core, as it's what I learned Linux on and is geared more towards the advanced user. I've also played with Backtrack for security/penetration testing.
Truecrypt, as ThinkAnarchy brought up before, is one of my favorites for protecting sensitive files. I also wholeheartedy endorse Audacity and Handbrake, which were also mentioned previously.
Putty is an ssh utility for Windows that I use all the time.
Filezilla is the best free FTP app that I've found for Windows.
DVD 43 is good for copying your encrypted dvds. Legally, of course.
I've only recently started using Spotify, but I like what I see thus far.
On the Android front, if you've rooted your phone, Barnacle Wifi Tether is great for wireless tethering of your devices.
And if you're willing to hack your home router, try dd-wrt. It's a homebrewed replacement firmware that let's you do some cool stuff like wireless bridging, vpn, and overclocking.

I've been using LastPass password vault to store my login info instead of the password manager thats built into my browser. It's been working out really well for me and I feel like it's safer. It seems to work with all the popular browsers, in fact it's the only one I've tried that works with my favorite Opera. http://lastpass.com/What do you need three browsers for..?  In all my ventures on the Internet, I've until this day managed with just one. Asmodean I have more then one Yahoo email account and find it handy to use different browsers for different accounts so I can read one with having to log out of the others. THIS! I've used it for years, there's no substitute. I also recommend Photoscape if you want to edit a lot of photos and give them a filter or resize them on the fly. More intuitive than Gimp (just because it's focus is on one click edits), and a little less confusing than Picasa from Google. http://download.cnet.com/PhotoScape/3000-2192_4-10703122.html |

Yes, I agree about Photoscape. It will rescue many a bum photo.

I'm suprised no one mentioned vi. It's the finest text editor ever developed, although it will take about a week to learn to use it. Highly recommended.
