Archive Manager:An Archive manager or Compression Utility allows you to view and manipulate compressed archives such as a ZIP or GZIP file. Windows A good open-source archive manager is 7-Zip. Alternatively a trial edition of WinRAR can be downloaded. If you are running Windows XP, the built-in system supports ZIP files already. All of these will run whenever a supported archive file is run (double-clicked) and will let you extract the contents to a location on your computer. Linux The default vanilla GNU command-line binaries provide full flexibility for manipulating archives; consult the man pages that came with your distribution (e.g. tar -z extracts a gzipped tarball). Alternatively there are several GUI frontends specific to your distro or Window Manager (e.g. Ark is a popular GUI frontend on KDE).

Google Search Engine:Allows you to quickly search and access "crawled" portions of the Internet and World Wide Web, using a few words or Keyphrases. Currently the most popular and well-known web page indexing and searching service, as well as boasting the highest "relevancy" thanks to advanced natural language and AI techniques, it also sports several relatively advanced search features that allow you to further refine your search by resource type and date, for example. Interesting features of the web search itself include separate interfaces depending on the type of internet-held information you are searching (news, images, etc), an effective page ranking system, and even an in-built spell checker. Equally fascinating is the first result for "miserable failure". | |
