With so many audio editors out there, finding the right tool for the job can be tricky. The multiplatform, open-source editor Audacity has leaped to the top of our list with its clean interface, excellent features, and support for 32-bit floating-point audio. Audacity succeeds at being both feature-rich and flexible, while keeping the toolbar and work space uncluttered. It does this by relegating most functions--such as effects, edits, and project management--to handy drop-down menus.

Audacity supports uncompressed audio standards such as WAV and AIFF in addition to OGG and MP3 files. A full complement of basic effects such as reverb, delay, and compression are included. Virtual Studio Technology (VST), Linux Audio Developers Simple Plugin Architecture (LAPSDA), and Nyquist plug-ins also are available if you're looking to expand. Another eye-catching feature is the Beat Analyzer, which helps you peg the beats per minute of a phrase.

The performance of most functions is quick--even CPU-hogging tasks such as exporting to MP3 or adding complex effects. Though Audacity doesn't offer advanced effects or features out of the box, its usability and price set this freeware wonder above the crowd.

Areca Backup is an Open Source backup solution

It basically allows you to select a set of files / directories to back-up, choose where and how (as a simple file copy, as a zip archive, ...) they will be stored, and configure post-backup actions (like sending backup reports by email or launching custom shell scripts)

It has been designed to :

• Be as simple as possible to set up : No complex configuration files to edit - Your backup configuration (which is stored as an XML file) can be edited with Areca's graphical user interface.
• Be as versatile as possible : Areca can use advanced backup modes (like "delta backup") or simply produce a "basic" copy of your source files as a standard directory or zip archive (readable by WinZip or other archivers).
• Allow you to interact with your archives and the files they contain : Track different versions of a specific file, browse your archives, recover or view specific files, merge a set of archives, ...

The Defraggler helps computer users who feel their system is running too slow. This simple program performs a complicated task that streamlines your PC's thought processes, but be prepared for a wait.

This free unlimited download attempts to bring order to your scattered RAM. When a file is created, portions of the item are spread into free spaces throughout the hard drive. As more files accumulate the computer has to work harder to piece together the puzzle that has become your specific file. This results in a slow computer. Defragmenting seeks out all these matching pieces and lines them up, making work easier and faster for the computer.

Defraggler downloads easily and is simple to understand. Its display shows users how much memory is available on their computers and also performs a search to show exactly how many files are fragmented in the entire computer. From here you can choose to defragment all or select specific files for defragmentation. Experts recommend regular defragmentation to keep computers running smoothly, so the Defraggler offers a scheduler to automatically run the program.

Defraggler is easy to understand and performs its job well. There is a strange chart along the top that seems to move for no real reason and is best ignored, but is only a minor annoyance. In addition, be prepared for a long wait time. Defragmenting a computer can take dozens of minutes. Still, if you want to improve computer performance, this is a great place to start.

The object of chess is to move your pieces to capture the opponent's king. A pawn can only move forward, it can move 2 steps on its first move and then one step on subsequent moves. A pawn can move one step diagonally to capture the piece on its diagonal. When your opponent's pawn has just moved 2 steps and lands on a side of your pawn, then you can capture that pawn by moving your pawn diagonally to the back of that pawn, this is called en passant. Rooks can move and capture horizontally and vertically for any distance. Knights can move by moving 2 steps forward and then 1 step sideways. Bishops can move and capture diagonally for any distance. Queens can move and capture in any direction and in any distance. The king can move and capture in any direction but only for one step. The king can also perform a move called castling, where the king moves 2 steps towards a rook and the rook will be moved to the side of the king on the opposite side. In order to perform castling, the king and the rook must both have not been moved, and that there must be no pieces between the king and the rook, also, the king and the two empty spaces from the king to the rook must not be under attack. When you move a piece to attack the king (i.e. the piece can capture the king on its next move), then the opponent must make a move so that the king is no longer under attack, failing to do so will result in a checkmate and the opponent loses. If you moved so that the opponent cannot make any valid move, then this is called stalemate and the result is a draw game.
