@abes2: I second the bit about Feynman, man was a true inspiration to any youngster who wanted to take up science. He made it seem so much fun and so interesting, and how did he do it?

VOTE: utorrent

oh and i second the view from lifehacked!

hey...you guys missed the built in session manager,which used to be an add-on in ff2,it asks if you want to save your current session upon exit and tries to restore your tabs on restart, u can also view these offline, this is something pretty useful that i did not find in chrome.

oh...but amongst free managers..i agree with downthemall,its pretty good.

VOTE: Internet Download Manager.

for RenRen...plz check out RAM at howstuffworks .com..SERIOUSLY!!..RAM??...as for the article,if the thief really is smart,he'l wipe the hard disk,n all of the measures mentioned, require it to connect to the internet,well if the thief DOESNT connect to the net, uses say fancy hardware for gaming or sumthng,well…

this useful for college guys like me,i guess i'm in the opposite boat to krondonian,but i agree that finding the oppurtunity is the hardest thing.

looks promising, but to an i-love-my mouse person,i agree its a hardsell, tho can anyone provide details bout the interface etc??..and i'm waiting to see if it causes crashes or not,but i'm looking forward to using it.

rite, tho frankly,i have so many media players already,with corresponding file asssociations, thnx principally to the lifehacker team,i thnk i'l do without another!!
