CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) 2010-10-09 Beta

The CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) is a DirectShow filter pack.

The full title is the Combined Community Codec Pack. Actually, it's more a filter pack than a codec pack, but filter doesn't begin with C and we wanted a good acronym. The name is also a pun on the Russian name for USSR, Ntilde;icirc;thorn;ccedil; Ntilde;icirc;acirc;aring;ograve;ntilde;eeotilde; Ntilde;icirc;oeeagrave;eentilde;ograve;edivide;aring;ntilde;eeotilde; ETH;aring;ntilde;iuml;oacute;aacute;eee, abbreviated as Ntilde;Ntilde;Ntilde;ETH;. Blame Lenin and the Commies. Blame movax.

Jokes aside, the CCCP was created to replace the video playback packs provided by several anime fansub groups in favor of a single reliable pack capable of decoding practically any groups' files - without breaking compatibility for other formats. Since then it has grown into a pack that can decode more or less anything that you will run into during your travels on the internet.

Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10.10.2010

Boot from the Kaspersky Rescue Disk to scan and remove threats from an infected computer without the risk of infecting other files or computers.

Burn this ISO image to a CD, insert it into the infected system's CD-ROM drive, enter the PC's BIOS, set it to boot from the CD and reboot the computer.

This lists the Gentoo-specific options, along with a few options that are built-in to the kernel, but that have been proven very useful to our users.

Also, all options that start with do have a no inverse, that does the opposite. For example, doscsi enables SCSI support in the initial ramdisk boot, while noscsi disables it. Easily remove malicious objects from your computer without the risk of getting infected.

ID3 Renamer 4.0.9

Do you have loads of MP3 files in a directory and need to write a single common piece of information into them (e.g. the interpret or the album name)? Do you need to clean some portion of the ID3 tag? Do you need to remove the diacritics? ID3 Renamer can help.

ID3 renamer is useful if you need to rename a large number of files in a directory accordingly to their ID3 description and a given formula (e.g. (%Track) %Artist - %Title). Such a function is pretty smart, as it lets you assembly the filename as you wish and use the variables from the ID3 tag in the filename. It is required you mark them with a % at the beginning, followed by an ID3 section label (literally - i.e. the first letter is capital, exactly as it is referred to in the roll-down menu).

ID3 renamer can also create a new tag if there is none in the file yet; it lets you easily write into new files too.
You can also fill the tag with information from the filename (alike the renaming process). Just type in the pattern, definition of information layout in the filename and ID3 tag version - and ID3 renamer will store everything. The pattern is given in the form of a regular expression.

You can also fill tag according to search in FreeDB database of CDs. There is a complete description of CD and then it's easy to fill the tag with this informations.
ID3 renamer fully supports ID3v1, ID3v1.1, ID3v1.1+Winamp extension, ID3v2.x.

VirtualBox 3.2.1.0

VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software.

Some of the features of VirtualBox are:

Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox.
Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.
Guest Additions for Windows and Linux. VirtualBox has special software that can be installed inside Windows and Linux virtual machines to improve performance and make integration much more seamless. Among the features provided by these Guest Additions are mouse pointer integration and arbitrary screen solutions (e.g. by resizing the guest window).
Shared folders. Like many other virtualization solutions, for easy data exchange between hosts and guests, VirtualBox allows for declaring certain host directories as shared folders, which can then be accessed from within virtual machines.
A number of extra features are available with the full VirtualBox release only (see the Editions page for details):

Virtual USB Controllers. VirtualBox implements a virtual USB controller and allows you to connect arbitrary USB devices to your virtual machines without having to install device specific drivers on the host.
Remote Desktop Protocol. Unlike any other virtualization software, VirtualBox fully supports the standard Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). A virtual machine can act as an RDP server, allowing you to run the virtual machine remotely on some thin client that merely displays the RDP data.

USB over RDP. With this unique feature, a virtual machine that acts as an RDP server can still access arbitrary USB devices that are connected on the RDP client. This way, a powerful server machine can virtualize a lot of thin clients that merely need to display RDP data and have USB devices plugged in.

AMD64, manuals and FAQ's can be found lt;a target=top href=http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloadsgt;here.lt;/agt;

Rainmeter 1.3 Final

Rainmeter is a desktop customization platform. Through Rainmeter, you can enhance your Windows computer at home or work with skins: handy, compact applets which float freely on your desktop, much like Windows Sidebar gagdgets, or dashboard widgets for the Mac.

Rainmeter skins provide you with useful information at a glance. It's easy to keep an eye on your system resources, like memory and battery power, or your online data streams, including email, RSS feeds, and weather forecasts. Many skins are even functional: they can record your notes and to-do lists, launch your favorite applications, and send your tweets to Twitter - all in a clean, unobtrusive interface that you can rearrange and customize to your liking.

With Rainmeter, there are no secrets. Our bundled library of open-source skins covers a wide range of functions, but if you want your desktop to do something new, you don't have to wait for us.

Every inch of a skin is completely customizable. Rainmeter skins are written in a simple, elegant language that's easy to learn for anyone who's willing to put in the effort. Skins call upon measures, a set of powerful built-in modules that do all the heavy lifting, and create interactive meters to display that information however you decide. In this way, Rainmeter brings productive innovation together with creative artistry like no other platform of its kind.
