Resource Hacker


Resource Hacker (also known as ResHacker or ResHack) is a free resource extraction utility developed by Angus Johnson for Windows. It is used to modify and replace static resources within Windows binaries such as strings, icons, pictures or dialogs. Modification of properties like the VersionInfo table is also possible. The Resource Hacker also has a variety of command line options. There are some re-distribution restrictions with Resource Hacker although it is used by several programs like 7zip Theme Manager (until v2.0) and many others. Trancexx also started a ResHacker Project which is written in AutoIT v3 on December 08, 2008. The ResHacker Project is a resource viewer and compiler.
The utility is widely used.

Google Chrome







Google Chrome is a freeware web browser[7] developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine until version 27 and, with the exception of its iOS releases, from version 28 and beyond the WebKit fork Blink.[8][9][10] It was released as abeta version for Microsoft Windows on September 2, 2008, and as a stable public release on December 11, 2008.
Net Applications has indicated that Chrome is the third-most popular web browser when it comes to the size of its user base, behind Internet Explorer and Firefox.[11] StatCounter, however, estimates that Google Chrome has a 39% worldwideusage share of web browsers making it the most widely used web browser in the world

  • Resident protection comprising individual modules or "shields", each of which can be individually configured or disabled:
    • File System Shield — Real-time protection against viruses and other malware threats. Scans files as they run on your computer to keep viruses from being able to execute.
    • Mail Shield  — Scans messages and attachments in E-mail/Microsoft Outlook/Exchange for viruses.
    • Web Shield — HTTP protection (local transparent proxy). Version 4.8 also allows the blocking of URLs. Scans URLs and incoming data for viruses, and aborts connections to the site if one is found.

BitTorrent 7.7.3
BitTorrent is simply the most commonly used software program for whoever's looking for a software program to download movies, music, books and other software programs off the net.
It takes some time getting used to the software's interface and to its terminology used to classify users who upload files and users who download files (the name 'leaches' shouldn't offend you).
Download this popular file sharing software program and get immediate access to a new found huge reserve of movies, music and other files stored on other users' computers.

Pre-built VirtualBox vm's

There are some pre-built vm's designed for developers and the curious over on the  Oracle Tech Network site.

Hotspot { Block Site Opener }







History

HotSpot, first released April 27, 1999, was based on technologies from the Strongtalk implementation of the Smalltalk programming language originally developed by Longview Technologies, LLC which was doing business as Animorphic. Animorphic's virtual machine technology had earlier been successfully used in a Sun research project, the Self programming language. In 1997, Animorphic was purchased by Sun Microsystems.[1]
Shortly after acquiring Animorphic, Sun also hired Dr. Cliff Click to write a new just-in-time (JIT) compiler for the newly developed virtual machine.[2] This new compiler would be the source of the name "HotSpot", which derives from the fact that as it runs Java bytecode, it continually analyzes the program's performance for "hot spots" which are frequently or repeatedly executed. These are then targeted for optimization, leading to high performance execution with a minimum of overhead for less performance-critical code. In some cases, it is possible for adaptive optimization of a JVM to exceed the performance of hand-coded C++ or C code.[3]
Initially available as an add-on for Java 1.2, HotSpot became the default Sun JVM in Java 1.3.[4]

[edit]Features

Sun's JRE features two virtual machines, one called Client and the other Server. The Client version is tuned for quick loading. It makes use of interpretation. The Server version loads more slowly, putting more effort into producing highly optimized JIT compilations, that yield higher performance. Both VMs compile only often-run methods, using a configurable invocation-count-threshold to decide which methods to compile.
The HotSpot Java virtual machine is written in C++. As stated on the HotSpot web page, the source contains approximately 250,000 lines of code.[5] Hotspot provides:
The version of HotSpot for Microsoft Windows runs a background process jucheck.exe, which continually checks for updates from Oracle.[6]

[edit]JVM flags

HotSpot supports many command-line arguments for options of the virtual machine execution. Some are standard and must be found in any conforming Java virtual machine, others are specific to HotSpot and may not be found in other JVMs (options that begin with -X or -XX are non-standard).[7][8][9][10]

[edit]License

On 13 November 2006, the Sun JVM and JDK were licensed[11] under the GPL version 2 (see Sun's OpenJDK Hotspot page). This is the code that became part of Java 7 (codename Dolphin[12]).
