- get Open Source software -
OK this is not a very unpopular topic for you I guess.But it's certainly worth mentioning.
Open source is a philosophy that promotes free distribution and access to an end products' design and implementation.
Open Source Software (OSS) is a software which is available in source code form. The source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under an open source license that permits users to study, change, improve and sometimes also redistribute the software itself commercially or non-commercially.
The power of this movement is expressed by a report by the Standish Group stating that adaptation of open-source software models has resulted in savings of about $60 billion per year to consumers.
So for the ones who don't use open source, why don't you?? well, I've used open source for about a year now and some of the software are VLC player & a firewall(very simple one) the only thing that make you fell these are not good is some times they crash ( VLC in the other hand never crash) . But for a programmer these are playgrounds to sharpen your skills.
This is a web site containing thousands of open source projects - source forge
And this is the official site - home
