"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

What are some computer programs that everyone should have? please give us your list! Here are 3 that have made my life better.

Open Office
http://www.openoffice.org

How silly I was trying to find a place to download microsoft word (it is expensive). Open Office is open source, free, you can save in .doc format so pretty much you don't need microsoft word and there are a lot of free extensions. If you are a student or you just need a good productivity suite than look no further, 100% free.

webmail notifier (mozilla firefox extension)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4490

If you are using firefox then you must download this extension. It notifies you everytime you get a new email (checks for emails every few mins you set it to. You can check any of your web email accounts by right clicking them from a list no need to type any passwords (thus making everything really fast). If you are one of those people that has lots of email accounts this is a must download.

GIMP
http://www.gimp.org

No need to buy photoshop or spend a long time trying to look for an illegal download of it. Gimp is open source and 100% free.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Winamp (+DFX plugin) - For m00zic
VideoLAN Media Player - For videos, has a LOT of codecs so you can play anything

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Most anything can be free if you know where to look.
but to go back to my post you can get a free download of VLC
Win Rar and Xilisoft cost money but not worth the cash if you have to pay.

Winrar is free. You sign up for the trial, but it never ends for some reason, or you can redownload it and get it indefinitely.

For mine, Im gonna say Codestuff Starter. It is a free manager of startup/always running programs. It also helps you look online for each program, so you know what it is, and if you really need it to be always running. Usually you dont, and there are many programs hogging your ram, needlessly.

utorrent or bittorrent is really all that you need. From then on, all programs are free.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My pick is the Opera web browser. It's fast, slick, runs on crummy hardware with ease, and it rarely crashes.

The great thing about all the software mentioned in the original post is I can run them all, and I don't even use Windows :)
