WOT, Web of Trust
Hi,

I am Esa from WOT and would like to briefly tell how WOT differs from SiteAdvisor. WOT, Web of Trust, is an online community of reputation rating that lets Internet users share their knowledge of websites, helping the community members to stay in control when they you surf the web. Besides its users, WOT relies on hundreds of trusted sources such as phishing site listings to keep the users protected against fast spreading online threats.

Our users often say that WOT ratings are more accurate than those provided by automated testers. WOT can also detect scams and unreliale online shops that automated testing doesn't cover. Besides Google, WOT ratings are also shown also on Yahoo, Gmail, Wikipedia, Digg, del.icio.us, AOL, and MSN. WOT is available for Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers.

mybest2U,

I just want to tell you that when I'm on my Debian GNU/Linux I always use IceWeasel to surf the net. (IceWeasel is essentially Firefox stripped of the Firefox name and logo). And to my surprise... it also works!

My fault! It's great they have it for both browsers, but I'm still going to stick with Firefox!

Universal Viewer Lite 3.0.0.0

So Far I love this thing and no problems to report. Allot smaller than installing Office to work with Doc Files.

Quote:
Universal Viewer (ATViewer) is an advanced file viewer with wide range of formats supported. Implemented view modes and corresponding file formats are:

Text/Binary/Hex/Unicode: all files, with unlimited file size (even 4Gb+ sizes are allowed);
RTF/UTF-8: RTF and UTF-8 encoded texts;
Image: all general graphics formats: BMP JPG GIF PNG TGA TIFF etc;
Multimedia: all formats supported by MS Window Media Player: AVI MPG WMV MP3 MIDI etc;
Internet: all formats supported by MS Internet Explorer: HTML XML DOC XLS etc;
Plugins: all formats supported by Total Commander Lister plugins.
The Viewer is fully Unicode compatible and can be integrated into Windows Explorer's context menu, so there is no problem to call it from anywhere in Explorer: right-click on a file and select "Universal Viewer" item. It can also be integrated into file managers that can pass to Viewer filenames via the command-line: in this case filename should be passed as first optional command parameter (don't forget to double-quote name containing spaces).

If you're looking for a smaller, lighter alternative to adobe reader give Foxit PDF Reader a try CCM. I've heard very few complaints about it.

Personally, I really like this one :XL-ACalc
It can do any type of math calculation.

How can you find out which codec is needed? I've always wondered that.

Thanks, I haven't been in this thread for a while, I've been reading the posts backwards and must not have gone back far enough to see those posts - or I've gone blind and missed them, lol.
