The Virtual Machine Network Driver allows the Device emulator's OS (or even the Virtual PC OS, as the case may be) to emulate its own network connection. Because the physical network interface on the host machine is now "virtualized," you have a way to get two IP Addresses - one for the host PC, and one for the operating system that is running within the Device Emulator (or Virtual PC). Device Emulator users using the VMNet Driver can connect to the host machine over TCP or UDP as the alternative to the standard "Activesync over DMA" solution.

WinDirStat- http://windirstat.sourceforge.net/

WinDirStat is a disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for Microsoft Windows (all current variants).
WinDirStat reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views:

The directory list, which resembles the tree view of the Windows Explorer but is sorted by file/subtree size,
The treemap, which shows the whole contents of the directory tree straight away,
The extension list, which serves as a legend and shows statistics about the file types.

Free open-source disk encryption software for Windows XP/2000/2003 and Linux 

It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mount it as a real disk.

It can encrypt an entire hard disk partition or a device, such as USB memory stick, floppy disk, etc.

Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:

1) Hidden volume (more information may be found here).

2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (TrueCrypt volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).

Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Blowfish (448-bit key), CAST5, Serpent (256-bit key), Triple DES, and Twofish (256-bit key). Supports cascading (e.g., AES-Twofish-Serpent).

Based on Encryption for the Masses (E4M) 2.02a, which was conceived in 1997.

Any MacOS X people been able to use this?

Using the IP Addresses database - IP Address Lookup
If you're going to be doing a lot of Geocoding or IP Address Lookups, please take a feed instead which will preserve both our bandwidth and your bandwidth.

Paste the following code into your HTML to get a country flag of the ip address. The database is significantly more accurate (it ought to be 100%) for countries than for cities. It would be nice if y'all would make the flag a link to the www.hostip.info home page (http://www.hostip.info/) so they can come by if they're interested - it'll only benefit you in the long run. After all, the results get more accurate as more visitors submit their IP addresses!

Flag of visitor's location:
<A HREF="http://www.hostip.info">
 <IMG SRC="http://api.hostip.info/flag.php" BORDER="0" ALT="IP Address Lookup">
</A>
  Flag of any IP address:
<A HREF="http://www.hostip.info">
 <IMG SRC="http://api.hostip.info/flag.php?ip=12.215.42.19" ALT="IP Address Lookup">

Realtime Collaborative Editing Applications.  Was looking for something like this today - found this nice site that lists a bunch of them.

I've had my perimeter ISA 2004 box fail on several occasions under high load (~600 concurrent SecureNAT clients) due to low memory conditions, courtesy of sqlservr.exe.  Enough is enough.  It consumed 4 GB of RAM.

I found a script that makes this memory limiting quite painless.  There are a plethora of other ISA Scripts at this site that are very useful.  Highly recommended on any ISA Server!  Just grab the ZIP file.

http://www.isascripts.org/

ISA_MSDE_Max_Memory.vbs
Displays or edits the maximum amount of memory the MSDE service (sqlservr.exe) is permitted to use, since database logging can sometimes cause a memory leak.

Here's a nice VBS to map printers in Windows 2003 GPOs.

Add the script to the GPO, and give it the necessary parameters as per the usage in the comments below.

' PrintersLong.vbs - Windows Logon Script.
' VBScript - to map a network printer
' -----------------------------------------------------------------'
Option Explicit

If WScript.Arguments.Count < 1 Then
 Wscript.Echo "usage: MapPrinter <PrinterShareName> [default]"
    Wscript.Quit(1)
End If

Dim objPrinter, strUNCPrinter
strUNCPrinter = WScript.Arguments(0)
Set objPrinter = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objPrinter.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strUNCPrinter

If WScript.Arguments.Count > 1 Then
 If WScript.Arguments(1) = "default" Then
  objPrinter.SetDefaultPrinter strUNCPrinter
 End If
End If

WScript.Quit

' mapDrive.vbs
' VBScript to map a network drive.
' ----------------------------------------'
'
Option Explicit

If WScript.Arguments.Count < 2 Then
 Wscript.Echo "usage: mapDrive <DriveLetter> <DriveShareName> [description]"
    Wscript.Quit(1)
End If

Dim objNetwork, strDrive, objShell, objUNC
Dim strRemotePath, strDriveLetter, strNewName

strDriveLetter = WScript.Arguments(0)
strRemotePath = WScript.Arguments(1)

If WScript.Arguments.Count > 2 Then
  strNewName = WScript.Arguments(2)
End If

' Section to map the network drive
Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive strDriveLetter, strRemotePath

' Section which actually (re)names the Mapped Drive
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.NameSpace(strDriveLetter).Self.Name = strNewName

WScript.Quit
