Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Some free programs I use often
Submitted By: dev ( 49 days, , 6 minutes ago )
Sevice Pack 2 has a fairly good firewall. Spybot: Search and Destroy and Ad-aware are good free spyware and adware removers. If you want to see if there is any suspicous activity on your network, or debug network applications, get Ethereal. As for general overall functionality, I use Winamp for listening to music, Audacity for recording audio from a microphone and editing sound files, Mp3gain for normalizing the volume in mp3 files, VLC Player for watching movies - it can play just about anything (mpg, avi, DVDs, etc), Winrar for compression and extraction from file archives, WinSCP for encrypted file transfer, VNC for remote desktop connections, Firefox for web browsing, Openoffice.org for editing Word documents and writing papers, Trillian for MSN, AOL, and Yahoo IM, HydraIRC and mIRC for IRC communication, ForceDel for forcing files to be deleted (windows doesn't let even the Admin delete some files in some cases, and this is where ForceDel helps by letting you delete those undeletable files), md5sum for checking the checksums on files, Deepburner for burning CDs and DVDs, and Bitcomet for downloading torrents. I keep these programs on a CD so I can install them all immediately everytime I reinstall windows (which happens every several times a year). I'm sure I'm forgetting some programs as I'm on my linux computer right now. Google the programs for the download links. Hope this helps.
