Call Landlines For Free

Quote:

Using this VOIP program, you can call landline numbers in any country for FREE. FreeCall is still a Freeware app but you only get 300 minutes a week. A)You MUST make an account with the program when it loads up. Then when your logged in (it will say at the bottom: 'The client is logged on') B)Go to the dial pad TAB, ignore the on screen buttons, at the bottom type in your number and remember you need to add country codes at the beginning - NO spaces in the number either. C) And it does do all countries for free - i've used it from NZ to england, USA, Spain and Aussie and they used it back. D) If it didn't work, you need to check your firewall settings etc, this is an obvious but a program like this needs full access

TrueCrypt ( Disk Encryption )

Fig:06: TrueCrypt is used for disk encryption (image credit official website)

Free open-source disk encryption (real-time on-the-fly encryption) software for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (for Linux I prefer native disk encryption). From the wikipedia:

It can create a virtual encrypted disk within a file or a device-hosted encrypted volume on either an individual partition or an entire storage device. It supports Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (using FUSE) and encrypted volumes can be made portable. The version for Windows Vista or XP can encrypt the boot partition or entire boot drive and has the ability to create and run a hidden encrypted operating system whose existence is deniable.
