Finally, I have added some programs, links, and a joke site.

Now, for a serious moment, I am going to add some of the more important links that I have on the site.

DigitalConsumer.org
"Have you ever made a tape of your favorite songs to enjoy in your car stereo? Have you ever bought a CD and ripped it to your portable MP3 player? If so, you should know that recent changes to copyright law have been used to take away your personal use rights to the media you legally acquire. That means that activities like making mixes or copying music to a portable player are quickly being restricted or prevented. DigitalConsumer.org is doing something about it. We are advocating a Consumer Technology Bill of Rights that will positively assert a consumer's rights to fair use."-quoted from site

United Devices
Do Cancer Research on your PC

"By combining thousands of ordinary PCs to work on extremely large computational projects, problems can be solved more quickly and less expensively than by conventional methods. Now regular people can help fuel research and projects that previously may have required a bank of supercomputers or a hundred years to complete. The Volunteer Your PC program lets you make a real difference without donating money or your time with the tool that you are using to view this site right now--your home PC.

"In our Volunteer Your PC program, your computer can join tens of thousands of other PCs across the Internet each working on a small part of a large problem simultaneously. You can help one or more public good projects. To participate, simply download a very small, non-invasive software program that works like a screensaver: it runs when your computer isn't being used, and processes projects--until you need the power. Your computer never leaves your desk, and the project never interrupts your usual PC use.

"The download process is very easy. We provide prompts to guide you through completion. And once you download the UD Agent and have it running, you never have to think about it again--the software runs quietly in the background and updates itself. There is no cost to participate and no impact on your computer use. The United Devices software works only on our projects--it cannot detect or transfer anything on your machine. It can only process the project-related information."-quoted from site

This would be especially useful if you are in charge of a business or a large network that leaves computers on all night.
